You can just return it. Most items on Ali have free returns.

What I usually do is I ask the seller to take a photo of the blade on a scale to make sure the weight is correct.

Do you know which stores on Ali will reliably do this? My sense has been that many of them (including most of the major stores) don't carry their own stock -- they're basically dropshippers and the order gets fulfilled by some warehouse employee somewhere else.

On my most recent order, I received a penhold blade when I'd ordered a flared shakehand, along with a rubber which was seemingly never shipped at all. The Ali dispute process was opaque and annoying, but I did eventually learn it's possible to get a full refund without even needing to make a return.

I remember HW store really sent me a photo of Sanwei 75 inner and asked whether it's OK or not, unfortunately it was 94g or so, thus I rejected.

I actually bought 2 pcs of 75 inner in different stores and always was asking for the lightest. Got 89 and 90g. Sold the 90g one with a discount. I wouldn't mind to pay a bit extra for the weight selection.

On the item page it clearly is labeled "free returns". So just check the page

Sorry, I meant which stores will document the weight of a blade and then make sure to send you that one. I know about the returns feature, although I'm a bit cautious to use it versus getting a non-return refund up front.

BEO store and Global Sports Store are my go to for Blades that need specific weights

Any seller will do that for you. Ive never had a seller refuse to do that unless they just cant, like if they dont control the warehouse

My latest one. I wanted something more bouncy than the normal Cyberhape so I asked Sergio for a Donic Person WC89 copy. Well with some constraints this is what I got. Cybershape, Donic Person WC89 construction but with Hinoki top ply instead of Spruce, the rest of the composition is about the same and the handle is copied of a Yasaka Goiabao 5 FL handle which I think is the best FL handle.
End result is about a Primorac Carbon level blade with normal thickness core and 7ply ZLC construction. Really look forward to beat some balls with it since it should have very good levels of spin and fast as heck.

Original idea was to put G09c and Glayzer on it and since it came out so fast as a Primorac Carbon I might end up doing that or just go with B3 and V15 or Rakza X since the blade is not that heavy.

92.1g - 7.05mm - 1765Hz - Balance: 3.5 (med)
Looks pretty pure and angelic if do say so myself.

Telson 100 or Rakza XX on FH
Just to fight with Thanos

My order from Japan:

1x Andro Treiber CO Off
For a really good price,
Just for normal EJ sake

2x Spectol S1 1.6mm in blue/red
For chopping

 

[SleepyMaster]

I don’t know why. Just to try someday 🫡

 

[Doralikesmath]

Got them from an unpassable deal: a sheet of H8-80 38 deg. and a sheet of H3 Prov. BS 41 deg. for a total of $42. Boosting now

In total these stuff were $90. I'm all set for another year of rubbers. More blades to come, though.

 

[disaster3]

In the meantime of waiting for my Q968 Nat… preparing for maybe new BH rubber 😉

I thought the ball holder was some sort of case of retainers (invisalign) haha.

Please share the weight of both rubbers uncut, thanks

 

[doppelmoral]

Got some new rubbers, all of them in red for the backhand to try out on my Hugo HAL 😁

Omega 7 Hyper
J&H X50
J&H H52.5

I really want to try out the new C55 aswell

I will test the O7Hyper first, first impression is that its very spinny just doing some bounce tests, and very heavy

 

[SleepyMaster]

Got myself second Lin-Gaoyuan alc anatomic handle from Butterfly, it became one of my favourite blades so I decided to buy another one - because they are not produced anymore. Also I will try out K3 on the forehand and will compare it to my usual D09c.
