[Egon]

Hi everyone, I just wanted to share some photos of the blades which we do

 

[Egon]

This is a combination Attack/Defense blade from the Harmony series. It allows for powerful forehand attacks and reliable backhand defense. On the attacking side there is a fairly hard koto and powerful carbon immediately below it, on the defensive side there are two soft veneers and soft carbon below them.
Blade Parameters:
Speed - Off/All
Composition - 7 plies, 5 wood, 2 carbon.
Head Size - 158x151 mm
Weight - 88.1 grams
Thickness - 5.9 mm
Handle - Straight 28x23x103 mm
Balance - average
Frequency - 1348 Hz

Is the frequency the same, when bouncing the ball on either of the side? I never had 2 faces blade like this beauty

The frequency is the same on both sides, but the ball's bounce height is different, when you hit a ball on a blade without rubber, and this is much more noticeable on the koto than on the limba (we did Harmony with limba on the attacking side, I'll send some photos later). There are also differences in play. I tried with two identical rubbers to feel the difference. On the offensive side, the dwell time is much shorter, and the ball has a flatter, longer trajectory with less spin and the flight speed is high. On the defensive side, the dwell time is long, there's a lot of spin, but the ball is slow and has a short trajectory.

Another asymmetric Harmony, this time with a limba surface, straight handle and lighter weight.
Blade Parameters:
Speed - Off-/All
Composition - 7 layers, 5 wood, 2 carbon.
Head Size - 158x151 mm
Weight - 81.7 grams
Thickness - 5.8 mm
Handle - Straight 30x23x102 mm
Balance - average
Frequency - 1348 Hz

This blade is from the Flight Line series.
The classic five-ply construction limba/limba is reinforced with soft carbon. In short play, the blade is controllable and feels like solid wood, while the soft carbon makes a real difference in powerful shots - the ball flies faster and the return is more consistent. Another feature of this blade is its heavy handle and low balance.
Blade Parameters:
Composition - 7-ply, 5 wood, 2 carbon
Head Size - 151 x 158 mm
Weight - 92 gr
Thickness - 6.3 mm
Handle - FL, 103 mm long
Balance - Low
Frequency - 1406 Hz

What were the identical rubbers ?
Did you use a black one on one side and a red one on the other ?
In my own tests I used also identical rubbers but used same color on both sides because there was so much difference between the two colors.

I gave my tests up because there was even too much difference in the rubbers when using 2 rubbers from the same manufacturer, same batch numbers etc.

Hi, Lodro! I used the Jupiter 3 in black and red, both at maximum thickness and 39 sponge hardness. There's a slight difference between them—the red rubber feels stickier and produces more spin, but on the Harmony, there was a noticeable difference.

This are great looking blade alright.

The legendary Fantômas is back!
We created this blade using only Kiri wood, which has a low density and weight. The surface is covered with hard and incredibly heavy eucalyptus, allowing the blade to penetrate even the hardest rubber and accelerate balls at maximum speed. Another interesting feature of eucalyptus is its controlled, calm, passive action, without any sudden movements or surprises, despite the overall high blade speed and aggressive attacking play.
Blade Parameters:
Composition - 7 layers, 5 wood, 2 carbon
Head Size - 151 x 158 mm
Weight - 91 grams
Thickness - 6.0 mm
Handle - FL, 102 mm long
Balance - Low
Frequency - 1500 Hz

The legendary Fantômas is back!
We created this blade using only young, three-year-old Kiri wood, which has a low density and weight. The surface is covered with hard and incredibly heavy eucalyptus, allowing the blade to penetrate even the hardest rubber and accelerate balls at maximum speed. Another interesting feature of eucalyptus is its controlled, calm, passive action, without any sudden movements or surprises, despite the overall high blade speed and aggressive attacking play.

We can make the same blade for you. If you are interested, please write me a private message.

Another asymmetric Harmony!
This time with an anatomical handle and a koto on the attack side. Another feature of this blade is the use of veneer to protect the ends of the blade. The owner of the blade says that the veneer end gives a sharper feel. Despite its relatively thin size, this blade turned out to be powerful in attack at the same time, there is still great control on the defensive side.
Blade Parameters:
Speed - Off/ All
Composition - 7-ply, 5 wood, 2 carbon
Head Size - 152 x 159 mm (+1 mm due to end veneer)
Weight - 87,5 gr
Thickness - 5,7 mm
Handle - An, 105 mm
Balance - 30 мм (Low)

Frequency - 1383 Hz

 

[Egon]

Another offensive blade with an innerforce structure and a light limba on the surface, which we made for my friend. This blade is non-linear, meaning it plays slowly in short, passive games, but when accelerated, it can create a fast ball with lots of spin.
Blade Parameters:
Speed - Off/ All
Composition - 7-ply, 5 wood, 2 carbon
Head Size - 151 x 158 mm
Weight - 87,6 gr
Thickness - 6,05 mm
Handle - An, 102 mm
Balance - 37 мм (average)
Frequency - 1359 Hz

And this is the continuation of our series asymmetric blades - Walnut Harmony.
The peculiarity of this blade is a small thickness of 5.45 mm. This gives hight sensitivity and control, but walnut with carbon gives lively acceleration on the attacking side and two softwoods also a long dwell time on the defensive side. Walnut Harmony has a strong rotation, hight control and handleability
Type Off-/All,
Size 158x151 mm,
Thickness 5.45 mm,
Full-size extended handle ST 29x23x104 mm,
Balance low 29 mm,
7 layers - 5 wood 2 carbon,
Weight 85 g,
Frequency 1336 Hz

Will be good to know:

-Core width and wood used.
-Width of each layer and wood used.
-How is distributed the wood & fiber layers if any.

Thanks in advance & congrats for your work.

The thing is, we make each blade to each individual's specifications. When ordering, we discuss all the blade parameters the player is interested in. Accordingly, the composition and thickness of the layers will vary from player to player.

Thanks, the question was related to blades info posted here.

Another SuperLuper with a design similar to the Viscaria, but with different materials. This time blade has more weight and power but with all that is very linear and controlled in all playing elements.
Weight 92.6 g, blade 159x151х6,2 mm, handle full-size FL 103 mm long, chord- 86mm, frequency 1500 Hz, balance more towards the top - 39 mm.

Another blade from the Super Looper series. While similar in structure, this blade is more focused on control. The carbon fiber we used here has a lower density, and the blade is thinner and lighter. This Super Looper has a short, passive game and can accelerate the ball when needed.
This blade was taken in winter during a power outage due to shelling of our country by our neighbors and also luck sunlight, which is why the photo quality is so poor.
Weight - 89 gr, 151x158x5.71 mm, chord 90 mm, handle FL103 mm, 1395Hz, balance 33 mm.
