I found the blade fast; faster than off without going far into the OFF+ category. The sweet spot is huge and the feel is very much on the harder side. Where I had to adjust was on the low throw of the blade: I had to open more that I had to with my Sotto Voce with the same rubbers.

It is a smashing dream; a true hitting tool; I made the best loops using more the rubbers than the wood as I was going too far too often.

It really reminded me of a domesticated Sardius. At 90 grams it was not hard to hold and I played 4 matches after 10 minutes of warm up time without feeling any wrist fatigue.

The obvious point to make with this blade is we can't go  with a half heart. We've got to give everything or we get punished.

What standard should we follow in categorizing the blades? BTY, DHS, Yinhe...? To avoid misunderstanding, let us agree that Off- is Primorac, Off is Korbel, and Off+ is Primorac Carbon.

the USPS deliv. conf. 0311 1660 0000 9927 6641 is related to the Red Hammer; please ignore the UK part of the document.

I shipped with priority mail with the same awesome packaging.

I can't wait to read here that jt99sj has the red hammer into his hands.

*Remember to use only water-based glue. As you can see we had some initial problems with the tuners smearing the sigs. 

 That would be great Tommy....am just wondering coz i will be away for a few weeks soon.

It is becoming very difficult to find the reviews here, in this thread. Probably it is a good idea to start two separate review topics.

I've included San Francisco on this map as I'm assuming John will bring the blade home with him and ship it from there.

Yes, indeed. He also wrote me a PM on tt-news.de, but since I have been busy with moving to Germany myself in the last week, I hadn't read his message.
