mycuzinvinnys custom blade

   I work in storage software and one of the perks is being able to play on a couple of ping pong tables at work.  I have always been an admirer of Ross Leidy paddles and conversation with a couple of coworkers ending up with one of them with tools to create a custom paddle.  Here are a few pictures.

It is one ply, eastern red cedar, balsa handle.  Best estimates on blade thickness is 5.5cm, paddle weights about 88g.

Anyone try eastern red cedar?  That was in my coworkers supply at his house.  This is version 2.0, with the first blade being too heavy/thick and of a different wood.

I will post how it hits with bluefire m3 max fh/bh next week.

	The trace outline of the head is based on the donic expox offensiv blade, which is my normal paddle.
