Rokphish, with your fine collections of blades, I think that it's still not complete without 1 Violin and 1 Accoustic.  You can give a thorough reviews afterwards, since you have many blades to compare them to.

Naaaahhhhh.... Either one of them is fine... Unless I happened to hit a very good luck and ended with one of each....

Peter.... Could I borrow one of your violins and acoustics? HEhehe....
Dumb question... I already know the answer: "Over my dead body with my dead grips on the blades..."

It's been 5-days and no reply.
I don't do business this way.
If no response by tonight I will cancel the order
and never do business with them again.
Tommy Zai don't play that way!
There's a reason the price is low.
Low price=Low service.
The exception is Cole.
Low price+Hi service (although I heard he glues up his combos
with the windows shut. He gives new meaning to the phrase "high service!"

Is it worth saving a few bucks for NO service?

NO! My pain, suffering, and time is worth more. What a shame they don't have the ability to hit return on an email to say a few words of comfort to their buyers.

I called these guys.All my emails ended-up in their "junk"messages so I tried and actually spoke to them.I did not place an order,but I think they are legitimate and doing business with them would be ok if you agree to pay for the shipping.
I agree,Tommy,that is not a way for communicating with customers.May be they do not haVE many internatinal orders and they disregard such inquiries...who knows

Hello! I�m thinking about getting one of these blades, but i�m a little confused becuase i dont find enough info in my country about it.
 
I�m currently playing with Jonyer Hinoki and tenergy 2.1 on both wings, but it lacks a bit of power specially in topspins and tough smashes. I�m looking for a gear up blade, but not so much. I have been playing this past years with jonyer/bryce 2.1(Fh)/Sriver EL 2.1 (BH) but with the ban of glue i switched to Tenergy.
 
Do you Think Violin is similar to Jonyer in terms of speed/stiffness/control? Should it be enough diferences between violin and Acoustic? If you compare to clasical Korbel (I know this blade, but �t�s just as a reference) , what blade did you think is faster, Acoustic or Korbel?
 
Consider that I would like to combine with Tenergy�s 2.1
 
Thank you very much
 
Regards

Jonyer, is weight an issue?
It's difficult to find an Acoustic under 85g unless it seems a little small.

I know... My Jonyer weights 75 g and I used Bryce and Sriver El but with muuch speed glue, however, now that�s speed glue is banned bryce and Jonyer aren�t enough when hitting or smashing.

I would like that my blade were 85g or under, but not heavier just like many Violins/Acoustics of over 90 g....

I just put my hands on a 85g acoustic. Coupled with 2 light sonex JP gold, it brings the bat to 166g ! It's a long time I haven't got such a light combo...hmmmmm !

My Dad plays with violin and i play with acoustic. Acoustic is a looping blade with more power than violin. Violin has more control is pretty good at looping and very consistent with smashing and drive-hitting. Acoustic and Violin both have an amazing feel.

Could you compare Acoustic to other best Seller or well-known classical Blade? (for example, Korbel)

i hit with a korbel blade for a few minutes ,finally.not to offend those of you,guys,playing,liking these blades....the sweet spot on korbel felt unusually soft..say if you   compare it with a couch that has been used for a long timeWink-the korbel blade that i had felt as a "worn couch" when the ball hit the sweet spot area...very funny feeling.acosutic is certainly stiffer than korbel.i hate the price tag on the acoustic blades...

The first time I bought my ST handle Violin is 94 Gr, but now it weight only 92 Gr. How come it become lighter 2 Gr? My other blades has the same problem too. Is it normal? The 92 Gr ST Violin is faster n better than the 80 Gr FL.

Acoustic vs. Korbel. They are very similar except Korbel is a bit slower and controlled. I have played with both

Noway that these two blades are the same. Korbel is slow and has too much vibration. Acoustic has amazing solid soft feel and fast.

Actually Violin has better feel than Acoustic, just find the right rubber to make it as fast as Acoustic.

It should be ok on Violin, if you like harder feel. But if you like medium feel it's better put it on Acoustic.
