My Taiwan Cypress blades

[henry lam]

I believe 8.5mm is the thinnest for shakehand still okay with taiwan cypress. Which around 105g. Recommend for pips player.
This is not a fast blade as any carbon layered. But its a unique with the feeling and the wonderful smell.

wowzers. 110g too??
It's hard to carry this one...

what are its qualities? Like speed, dwell time, control, etc.

Wow. Thors hammer.

110 for a 9.1. This is dense wood. I'm thinking you should try a jpen in the modern Xiom Hibi O Tour head style shape, with a smaller and angled head for easier switching between forehand and tpb. And handle must be shorter eith an extention of something light like cork or balsa, with a small weight at the end to balance it out. The smaller top of the bat head makes it less head heavy, allowing easier and swift change from forehand to backhand.

We need Ryu to use that with some crazy fast rubber like Bryce High Speed or T05H or some other thing with speed glue and 38mm balls. That would define, "speed kill".

I just wanted to ask if what kind of cedar or cypress is this? Left is sanwei h10 and right is the neottec amagi all+. I love the sanwei h10 at 8.5mm but it is so heavy for me. Thin it down to 7mm but the feel is so different.
