No worries on the small patches of sponge.. Found that acetone took care of it.

Soaking!

Thinking about what rubbers to try on this one.

Have an unused rakza 9 -red thats going on one side..

---

A rough dhs skyline 2 - black?

A used big dipper - black? (Not a favorite on nether the bandas nore the dhs pg7, but maby on this one?)

Friendship 802-1 short pips - black
1.5 thickness?

Or go with the old red stiga boost xt - red.. Got ok performance still.. My mates wont mind me playing two red sides..

 

[Liten]

Heh.. The Skyline and Big Dipper got glued to the hybridwood..
Woups... [emoji4]

Ok, this aint gonna work.
The Rakza 9 / Stiga boost is waaaaay to heavy for this blade.

Need advice on light rubbers with really good spin and fair speed. Im not a millionare so it would be nice if they don't cost tenergy-money..

Did I hear thin MarkVs?

is that really a cpen? looks too long for that.
and too short for fl.

Nope! Not a c-pen. The Stiga Kjell "Hammaren" Johansson is a round flared shakehand blade with short handle. Just as short as the Ulf "Tickan" Carlsson.



Think this blade would be sweet with two red Yasaka Mark V 1.9 rubbers... Think it would do it justace.. Ill try to save up for a pair..

Thanks! Yeah I do! Ill post a pic of how slow I play. Real expert level play! Super hard to play slow enough to fit your game into one frame...

Bat balance is key

The bats in the seventies were very light compared to today's 185-200g monsters.
Bats weighing around 155g was typical. So adding a modern max rubber is going to throw off the designed balance of the setup.

I seem to remember a poster saying that Barracuda is quite light in 2mm and plays like a more advanced MarkV.

where do you get this stuff? some local swedish shop nobody knows but you?

It is a pretty 'legendary' handle type called 'conical', 'cause its shape type reminds of a cone.

OSP uses this handle type on their elcon.

Ill check the barracudas out!! Thanks!

It all worked out. Switched the Stiga Boost to the 1.5 thin 802-1 Friendship sp.. Great balance now.

 

[Suga D]

Good job, Liten

 

[Liten]

Thanks!

The 802-1 needs a lot of help, but after 6-7 layers of help, its not far behind the Rakza 9 [emoji16][emoji849][emoji6]
