In my quest for the dream blade.

Closest to what I think is my dreamblade are:

OSP Virtuoso, Nittaku Acoustic Carbon, Btf MJ ZLC, Btf MJ SZLC and the Btf Viscaria.

Playwise I get the best results with the Virtuoso or Acoustic Carbon.
However I like the flared handle of the MJ's and Viscaria more and they play almost just as well for me. The SZLC being maybe a bit to fast for a good short game.

I thought. Lets mix things up.




Blade: Nittaku Acoustic Carbon
Handle: Butterfly Mizutani Jun
Put together and crafted to perfection by: OSP www.ospblades.com
The only option to craft such a blade was Nittaku or OSP to me, since they use the glueing technique that give most feel to their blades.

I will be trying it out asap, however not this weekend.

Hello,

The blade is good, but you must notice many things could be calculated in advance before making such a "Frankestein" blade. It is VERY important to keep the point of the balance and the weight of the original blade. Different weight = Different balance = Different skills on the table.
I have made many projects in my life and I think it is always better if the blade is going little more lighter than heavier after the handle's change. Not in each blade, but mostly.

Hope to have a good news after testing Smile

Yes I understand what you are saying. However the Acoustic Carbon was a bit head heavy. So getting a bit more weight in the handle was just what I was looking for. It would be even more like my OSP Virtuoso which has perfect balance. The changes in play will only be positive because of a more balanced feel in my hand I hope.

Since I already know how the blade itself plays, will also help to reduce the negative aspects.

Thanks for your comment.

What about this in light of the contract Butterfly has with Mizutani? I know it is not a commercial blade, but still...
(1) Juic SBA (Fl, 85 g) with Bluefire JP3 (red max) on FH and 0.6 mm DR N Desperado on BH; (2) Yinhe T7 (Fl, 87 g) with Bluefire M3 (red 2.0) on FH and 0.6 mm 755 on BH.

Taking apart 2 expensive blades and recombining using an expensive blade-maker - looks like you spent a lot of money on this!Smile

Actually, OSP had some spare Mizutani handles.

On first I offered my Mizutani to be used as parts which he didnt need.

I dont have the spare acoustic handle now though, but thats ok.

I weighed the blade and it went from 89 to 94g, feels a bit heavy now with rubbers on but will be ok I guess ;)
