Okoume is usually not considered an exotic wood, but this kind of flaming pattern is really hard to find. In terms of properties it's very similar to Limba. The blade has a soft feeling and tremendous feedback, a great weapon for controlled looping with medium / medium-soft rubbers. The handle is made with exotic woods: Zebrano, Wenge and Padauk. Available FS. - Okoume / Cypress / Kiri / Cypress / Okoume - 85.3g - 6.05mm - 157x150mm - STSQ (102x28.5x22.5mm) - 1250Hz - Balance: 2.4cm (Low)     |

This is a demanding blade. On soft impact it behaves like what you'd expect from a inner style composition, the feeling is soft and the blade is not very responsive. However, on hard impact the extra stiffness given by the S-AxC comes to life, and despite retaining a soft feeling, the responsiveness of the blade is highly increased, almost resembling an outer fiber blade. This type of behavior on a blade can be hard to control, but it can also be deadly in the right hands. Available FS. - Limba / Ayous / S-AxC / Ayous / S-AxC / Ayous / Limba - 93.4g - 5.85mm - 157x150mm - ST/CON (102x28-30x24mm) - 1313Hz - Balance: 3.2cm (Med)     |

Hello,
Could you explain the frequency? What is the impact of frequency on the performance/characteristics of the blade? I have read about frequency of blades but this is the first time I saw it indicated for handmade. Thanks.

Where to place orders? What do you think of a Mazunov with a regular head size and a flatter handle? Can send you the specs if you tell me where to order....
|

I like putting heavy topspin on the ball...

Starting the year with something new: S-ALC. Compared to regular ALC, it has a different weave pattern, all the blue stuff is placed horizontally while all the carbon is placed vertically, which results in more stiffness but with more ball penetration. In terms of playing properties that translates into a longer and lower trajectory with a softer feel. Available FS - Limba / S-ALC / Ayous / Kiri / Ayous / S-ALC / Limba - 88.1g - 6.0mm - 157x150mm - FL (101x25-23mm) - 1421Hz - Balance: 2.1cm (Very Low)     |

Outer fiber blades with Ayous cores aren't really that common on the market. Adding to that we have a mixture of straight and conical handle with a squarish profile and the "Dicon" slots. The forehand side has a rounded bevel that better fits the thumb, while the backhand side as a normal bevel that follows the index finger position. Available FS. - Limba / AxC / Ayous / Ayous / Ayous / AxC / Limba - 88.5g - 5.8mm - 157x150mm - ST/CON (102x28-30x22.5mm) - 1400Hz - Balance: 2.7cm (Low)    |

Thanks for the explanation. Does this mean that you now have access to Limba plies with a thickness of > 0.6mm?

Thanks! There are several factors that affect the frequency reading, but simple put, this reading it's just an indication of the stiffness of the blade. The variable that most affects stiffness is the total thickness of the blade, and this one is 5.9mm while yours is 5.6mm. The core has the same thickness, but we reduced the medial plies because Sycamore is harder than Limba.

Very beautiful handle!
I have a question regarding the frequency of this blade. My Acoustic and my SDC Acoustic clone are around 1,200 Hz. Is 1,270h Hz (a) within normal variation, (b) due to a thicker core, or (c) due to another reason? Thanks!

A 5 ply all wood blade based on a Acoustic. The handle is just slightly flared, not wide, but thick and with a squarish profile so it feels chunky in the hand. Almost a mix between a ST and FL handle. Avilable FS. - Limba / Limba / Kiri / Limba / Limba - 83.4g - 5.9mm - 157x150mm - FL (100x25-24mm) - 1270Hz - 2.1cm (Very Low)     |

This is a solid and relatively stiff 5 ply all wood blade. However, it is built mostly for spin rather than speed, due to the thick and soft outer plies. Available FS. - Ayous / Ayous / Ayous / Ayous / Ayous - 96.6g - 6.9mm - 158x152mm - ST (101x28.5x23mm) - 1290Hz - Balance: 3.0cm (Med)    |

Khaya, or African Mahogany, is a nice solution for someone who wants something between Limba and Koto in terms of feeling. It's just not very popular on commercial blades because the amount of natural pores, makes it a difficult wood to work with. This blade offers a precise touch and decent speed, with a moderate weight and balance. Available FS - Khaya / Ayous / AC-I / Kiri / AC-I / Ayous / Khaya - 85.2g - 6.15mm - 157x150mm - FL (101x25-23mm) - 1290Hz - Balance: 2.9cm (Low)    |

This blade is based on the Donic Defplay, no not the two modern versions, the really old one with the white lens. The owner of the original blade wanted something a little faster and with more stability, so we decided to add a soft-carbon layer next to the core. He loved it so much that he ordered another one, at that time I decided to build a third one to put here. Here's what he had to say: "The blade is very well suited for a modern defensive playstyle. Its slightly increased head size gives enough stability for blocks as well as far from the table chopping, without hindering aggressive offensive strokes on the forehand. It has a soft touch allowing for high spin production with a distinctive sound and consistency due to the soft carbon. I had great success utilizing long pimples with and without sponge on the backhand and hard offensive rubbers on the forehand with this blade. The blade is very nicely balanced and has a fantastic feedback." Available FS. - Basswood / Mahogany / Soft-Carbon / Ayous / Soft-Carbon / Mahogany / Basswood - 90.6g - 5.85mm - 159x153mm - FL (102x25-23mm) - 1270Hz - Balance: 3.3cm (Med)    |

Sometimes when I get hungry during work I make myself a grilled Hinoki sandwich.

That outer hinoki ply is so yummy, it makes me want to stop veganism and go back to the cheese.  |

The SDC handmade blade looks very elegant and useful. Probably Yasakas is not bad at all. Compared to SDC. With maple wood, I tried to make handmade smooth and light, but I couldn't. I just finished my first Hinoki blade after being away for a while. It's a 5-ply Hinoki. It has a 2mm core, 1.2mm middle ply, and 0.6mm top ply. It certainly looks playable, though it isn't a flawless finish. The handle is made out of Walnut, Mahogany with 1.5mm Obeche and weighs 94g. But at the end of the day, I don't satisfy my mind. Then I owned a Yasaka to read here https://pingpongacademy.org/table-tennis-blades/. Unfortunately, I won't be able to test this until a few days from now, but I've taken some pictures in different lighting.

A typical outer ALC construction with a crisp feeling. The wings are sanded for a right handed player. Available FS. - Koto / ALC / Ayous / Kiri / Ayous / ALC / Koto - 83g - 5.8mm - 160x150mm - CPen (82x23mm) - 1442Hz - Balance: 3.6cm    |
