Sanding wings

[rbtitco]

Do you leave them more or less stock or do you go crazy? Who here plays with almost no wings?

There are people who actually leave them stock on purpose? I could have sworn anybody who has that just doesn't know that's a thing.

Penhold, shakehand, you name it. Unsanded wings (at the very least round them) are super uncomfortable.

IMO it's best not to sand until later after you've tested the blade a while, cuz it seems easier to sell an unsanded one, esp if u go to town on it. Had to use tape a few times tho lol

I round off a bat when it's a bit sharp but that's about it really. I don't like to expose carbon so especially on thinner surfaces I'm really careful. I guess all wood is a different case but I find most wings to work fine.

I used to sand the wings quite a bit, almost to the point where the size of wing would match those on Donic JO shape blades, but nowadays I just knock the sharp edges down if anything.

we have to differentiate between the simple sanding of the sharp edges for comfort and the more drastic sanding , or filing, of the wings which of course will change the characteristics of blade eg. making it more flexible.

Maybe it's in general more important for penhold players but I also sand the wings (and handle) quite a bit to make holding the blade as comfortable and as loose as possible.

My very special grip, in direct compliance with the human hand anatomy. Yes, a slight sanding of the edges is required invariably.
