Blade size?

[Murre5]

So I'm looking in to testing a new blade. But it would be nice to be able to test the same rubbers that you use and just reglue them on a new one. Is there any problems with doing this?

First thing I thought about is that the blades might not be the exact same size as some pen grip rackets are widely different from other ones. But is a normal shakehand blade like primorac the same size as for example a viscaria or a Stiga allround offensive etc? Or can there be small differences?

Usually all the blades from the same brand are the same size, so if you have a Stiga blade, then the rubbers will also fit any other Stiga blade, most of the times.. But there are slight differences between brands, like the Stiga and Butterfly blades. The only Stiga blade I know that is the same size of the Butterfly blades, is the Clipper Wood

Often when you remove a rubber it will be smaller.

You can expand rubbers easily though.

but then it will have different playing characteristics. he's looking to use the same rubber so he doesn't have the issue of different playing characteristics.

All blade feel too small if you used to Butterfly Defence Alpha. Almost 17 cm, 2 cm larger than standard. ;p

Blades often have different sizes depending on the design. You have to know the two particular blades to be sure.
