Wasting a Stiga hybrid wood

[Liten]

The scale stoped at 95 grams. The Sugru has not yet settled so i suspect it will be less in a day or two. Overall really happy with the result, great feel with a solid handle. Feels just like a flared handle now. Still playable as shakehand..

Just glued a new skyline 2 neo and boost xt to the blade. (Both rubbers max sponge)

Must be the heaviest blade ive ever held in my hands. :/
Practice at lunch, this WILL be interesting..

hey there, i also modified handle to a thicker stiga's handle which is more like (st) , previous hayabusa had to thin Flaired handle for me. That handle modification succeed, but like new stiga blade more new hayabusa weight is 90g, also after changing handle blade didnt feel head heavy anymore. with old handle had around 86g.

my hayabusas handle was also hollow, but i didnt fill anything right there. cause placed new wood handle which were heavier. Maybe i made mistake there ?

I think you made a good choice not filling it up as you didnt cut the length of the handle..

Todays practice: My sparing buddy beat me 4-2 in sets to 21..
The bat is fine! Really crazy speed and catapult effect in the boost rubber, hard to control when your used to play the chinese rubbers.. still, with some practice it will do a great job i think. Today it did not matter, he was unstoppable. I know he usually has a crazy high % of "net - ins", but today I quit counting hes "side of table"-hits at 15.... After that he just folded like a poketknife, laughing to hard on each of those points... nothing I can do about it.. This is me brushing it of, moving along.

Hope to give a real review of the boost xt in a week or so.. needs loads more practice hours..
