I see in pictures when you guys do blade reviews, you weigh them first on a scale. Is this one of those postage scales? I looked into getting one the other day and they are quite expensive. Where do you go to weigh them, or do you have a scale at home? If so, what kind of scale do you use? I thought about going to the post office to weigh them but thought it would be embarrassing asking to weigh table tennis blades. I live in Alabama where the sport isn't popular, and would most likely be responded to with something like "You use these things for ping pong?" (think heavy southern accent)

I work in the lab and I am fortunate to have few analytical scales to weigh tiny precise substances.  So I use them to weigh TT stuffs too...LOL

lol, after reading some of the website I understand "set ya' up" haha. Your link is broken by the way. When you put a link in the text that is seen goes after you close the first {url=blahblah.com} like that and then you put the text that will be seen before you close {/url}

I'll give you a super hint.Whenever you like to mesure your blade, take it with you in the Supermarket and weigh it on the scale in the vegetable departmen(for example) I did that qiute a few times before and had problem with nothing

That's hilarious but a great idea nonetheless, thanks (plus it's free )
