I have both in my bag atm and it's pretty clear when i swap rubbers over that have been cut to a TBS :) Edit: Meaning, PG7 can lead to a head-heavy setup with the right (or wrong?) rubbers.

Originally posted by Benigma I have a PG7, its relatively inexpensive ( got mine for $30 shipped). It's a decent blade considering its price. Its a very solid blade, medium hard flex and quite hard wood. I bought another PG7 and it was much lighter and much thinner, the wood grains werent as good as my first one, so they arent really manufactured consistently. This blade is well worth giving a try.

oh sorry, i forgot. but the sigma can be a good candidate for what you are looking for. a lot of compact head 7 ply blade can be found in tibhar 

description says 5 ply head and 9 ply handle?  The median is 7, but the blade isn't really 7 ply...

I know it is only a 5 ply blade, but I am very pleased with this one I got:

I like the extra thick handle, fits better in my hand.  The slower ones have a thinner handle though :(

Wicked fast wood blade, somewhat faster than the timo boll spirit I used to play with.  Very stiff, but great control as far as I can tell, better than TBS at least, but I was raised on an all wood blade so I am biased.  I don't like how the new carbon blades feel.  They feel dead to me.

If this blade were about 5 grams lighter and slightly slower, but with the same thick handle it would be perfect.

 

power7, if you are still interested in Joola Viva, you may find it at http://www.timtts.be/Shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_11&products_id=121

you could also go for sk7 which probably has similar shape to power-7
more similar than any other brand at least.
and the ply construction is exactly the same as power-7.
I mean in thickness of layers, not sure type of wood used.

I have called them for you. The bad news is that they ship goods only in Hungary :( I am sorry about that. You should ask information about it at your national distributor. Good luck.

Originally posted by mhnh007 I use to hate hard, stiff, and heavy blade, until I play with Stiga Rosewood 7, which is hard, stiff, and heavy, but it plays so well, I changed my mind.  Give it a try, you maybe hooked for life .

Sometimes I get hand cramps from using heavy blades during training.  So for competition I like lighter setups.  Maybe I'll get it for another training blade.

Tibhar Illusion Killer is nice and light, though it's a bit on OFF- side and seems hard to find with shakehand handle...

Originally posted by power7 Originally posted by aeoliah Originally posted by power7 Looking for something at around 86 grams.  Do the Avalox have a weight chart for their blades? Weight chart from manufacturer will have tolerance that sometimes can exceed 10 grams. If you want to select the weight, you have to contact the seller and ask them what is the available weight alternatives. I always do this with iruiru. Is iruiru a person on the forum?   Or is iruiru an online store?
