What do you think about a customize blade?

It's definately cheaper.I know a guy who sells home made blades.This is a good solution.

These are some of the pictures of my custom made from sword :)

Sword's price is 340RMB plus fare. Fare between two cities of mainland China is 15 RMB.

From Sword, I copied a innerforce ALC and "designed" several blades myself.

You can talk to Sword in his BBS, You must have some knowledge about TT blade and clearly understand what you want. He will give you some advice but you are boss. when you had made the decision to order one blade ,give him money and your address.

Those are great looking blades indeed. And a good opportunity to own something unique and not available in the market. But there is the risk that the combo of plies we order ends up not to our liking.
And for those of us who can't speak Chinese there is always Kevin at Americanhinoki, Charlie Smith at BBC, Ian Worz at Worzbeatsticks, Ross Leidy and then of course the legendary Borko & Son.

Im currently using a custom blade from Yinhe. HK 655 clone, U2 handle with my name and son's name on the logo ^^ Plays very nice too

Custom blades from Sword looks very nice but kinda scary.. scary because some might ask them to copy the butterfly stuff and sell it here

almost 300Yuan +shipping cost.

They look good. Too bad sword doesn't have an English forum like yinhe has.
I wish to have a blade with super thick handle like HK without having to pay 100$.

That would interest me very much. Let's hope he will set it up.

Hi Fortran,i just wanna ask how did you order the blades?I can't seem to order because the website is just like a discussion forum.All three of them.Anyway,are the blades legal? TIA

Blades are not certified by ITTF, so as long as they are consistent (meaning no holes, no face curvature, all plies run the entire size of the blade face) and made of 85% wood, you are OK. That means you cannot have a lot of thick synthetic plies, or make a central ply out of titanium 20% thick.

Jim had me all happy then he crushed my dreams of finally having a 20% titanium blade!

I'll be the envy of the forums when I show up with my blade made of...
