I asked the seller to have a heavy Amultart CS and he said he sent me a 95g one, I didn't bother to weight it after. Soon T25 will arrive for FH and T05 on BH.. I guess it will be too heavy! I hope the weight of T25 is close to BW2 or less :D

My Dima is 84g without rubber. 

The ancient one-ply hinoki is very heavy.  Its a medieval battle-axe.  It probably tips the scales at 115g or more without rubber. 

New blade I'm getting ready to try weighs 78g. 

Big Slam is light.

My Acoustic with two sheets of Gambler Outlaw weighs in at 170g.  I wish it was a bit lighter, though.  I'm wondering how a Wonder Blade plays, as that seems to be one of the lightest blades around.  Anybody ever play with one?

Just got a TBS ST from butterflyonline.com.  Forgot to weight the blade.  Slapped on 2 Palio CJ8000 Biotech 2.2 rubbers.   Hit a few balls with the machine.  It definitly felt lighter than my current 179g racket (Clipper + Palio Hadou Biotech 2.2 x2).  Put it on a scale and couldn't believe my eyes 190g!

It's not just about the weight of the blade, but more importantly the balance of the blade. A blade with a small handle and big blade face area will probably be head heavy once you put rubbers on it. A head heavy blade will feel heavy at the wrist, thus the feeling that the whole setup is heavy. A blade with a nice, chunky handle and smaller blade face area will be less head heavy because the centre of gravity of the blade is closer to the handle. For example, Iolite with 2 T05s will feel alot heavier than Primorac carbon with the same 2 T05s on it.
Whether head heavy is good or bad for your game is up to you to decide. Stiga obviously thinks it is good, pushing out those WRBs (hollowed out handles), making the COG point of the blade further from the handles. I personally do not like a head heavy blade, and prefer a well balanced bat.
Blade: Butterfly Schlager Light Fl
FH: Butterfly Tenergy 64

It probably has good balance that makes it feel light-in-hand.

Probably good for chopping.  But a little heavy for those very fast loop kills, eh?

LOL

And for slicing, too. I have correspondingly tuned it. My side spin is very sharp. Angry
