It is a really lovely 5-ply all wood blade.
It has nice, thick topsheets with even grain on Iboth sides and a
generously sized "real wood" handle.
The handle is not quite as big as the Dynasty series, but not
"twiggy" at all. The blade is quite thick - I measured it around 7mm.
The materials and finish are top-notch.
The blade is fairly light (84 gms I believe) and pretty
fast. It is well balanced, but a
bit stiffer than I'm used to. Compared
to my Avalox 555, it is thicker, stiffer, and a bit lighter.
It is probably a bit faster too, but doesn't feel quite as
"lively". I found it
superb for pushing, hitting and blocking, but a bit too stiff for my looping -
given my current ability and strokes. Bes…
This is an impressive blade. You could tell me it was a bt555 or stiga offensive and I'd
believe you. It's got a really
springy "boing" feel to it.
Very Swedish feel. I was
actually quite surprised. I think
this is supposed to be an avalox copy or something. Cole….
I thought it was very impressive. A little faster than I prefer myself as I prefer to use
slower blades and soft rubbers so I can glue heavy and stay off-.
But I thought it felt very springy myself...maybe not compared to an
avalox though. Cole…
I'm not surprised you like the blade - the one I tried was
a thing of beauty! Bes…
I just got the Globe 582 thing and its a korbel except
prolly 1.5mm thicker, top notch quality the outerply is as good or better than
the korbel and its very springy, for $21 its a steal. I also tried an 802-40
topsheet on my grey 2.2 couga sponges and its same topsheet as tsp spinpips I
had a sheet of spinpips with me to compare to, on the couga sponge its one heck
of a weapon you can loop like inverted with it and smash the hell out of the
ball. Spinscience…
