[joshmak10]

Hello guys,

I have a used W968 provincial for sale in good condition that includes a boosted 40 deg Hurricane 3 Neo Provincial Blue sponge and a Dignics 09c, both used about 2 months. The W968 has a small knock around the 2 o clock area on the BH side but it is unaffecting game play. As well, I don’t have the original box but it will be shipping in a Tibhar Box.

Prices without shipping:

Blade and rubbers: $̶2̶6̶0̶ ̶U̶S̶D̶/̶$̶3̶5̶0̶ ̶C̶A̶D̶ $250 USD/$340 CAD
Blade only: $̶2̶1̶0̶ ̶U̶S̶D̶/̶$̶2̶8̶5̶ ̶C̶A̶D̶ $200 USD/$275 CAD

Shipping is from Vancouver, Canada and I can only ship to US/Canada locations. There will be a shipping cost depending on your location. However, if you live within an hour and a half drive from Vancouver, I can drive to you and meet with you to give the product without shipping fee.

If you are interested or have any questions please PM me!

Thank you 🙏 Its a fantastic feeling blade and I love it for FH, but it’s very demanding to play on BH, even FH tbh. ultimately I prefer outer carbon blades for the ease of use and balance between FH and BH

I had similar feeling toward my setup, but I've since come to appreciate it much more with more training and studying the way pros use it. It really requires a different mentality on the BH side, one that requires you to beat the opponent by variations in spin, speed, and placement rather than unrivaled speed. For that purpose, something like the H3 OS is better suited than D09c, as the D09c can sometimes be a bit too bouncy (the ball seems to bounce off the blade before the blade can deform and spring back on harder shots) for the W968.

When I first tried the H3 OS though, I hated it so much. It's a dull feeling rubber, and combined with the dull feel of W968 on the BH side it felt like absolute crap on all except the hardest shots which I had trouble executing. But even before I learned how to use it I noticed my opponents having so much more trouble receiving my shots. They never seemed to be able to find the right timing in a BH rally. I didn't know what was going on until I played against someone with the same setup as mine. Shots just carried way more spin than I expected, even on blocks. They may be slower, but the spin gave me a lot of trouble in timing my shot, and when hit right against balls with high incoming speed, where it can finally access the W968's full power, it can provide a massive change of pace for the opponent as well.

The Vis types give a different type of satisfaction though. The blazing fast BH shots are a treat to see. It's deeply satisfying to see BH rockets blasted past your opponent before they can even lay a racket on it. I just happen to get more satisfaction with massive FH shots that the W968 allows me to do though, especially those over the table shots and drives against those perfect pushes that your opponents don't think you can attack strongly.

That’s great that you are starting to like your W968 more. I think my play style doesn’t quite suit the blade, which is why I’m selling it for another Vis type blade

I don’t have as much time to train anymore due to university so I’d rather stick to a type of blade that I’m comfortable with, but for sure this is a fantastic blade for many people, so much power on forehand as well as control

The Vis is a fantastic blade as well, the BH on it is so addicting. I certainly can't rule out getting the itch to switch back to it at some point of time when I just wanna whack some fools with my BH lol.
