Air V Series Combo
Speed: Off-
Weight: ~175g
Plies: 5W
The AirOS V series is the newest and nicest wood blade we've offered. Not only is the look sharper with the stain, it also is thinner with more flex, at no loss of feel. Like the other wood blades, the 7ply is actually softer than the 5 (which is atypical generally speaking).
Comes with round case,
Air Combo -SALE $55
Speed:Off-
Weight: around 175g
Plies: 5W
These all-wood blades feature a handle that performs well without stain, and quality outer Limba/Koto plies. The 5ply versions use spruce secondary. The primary variables involved are the outer ply (Koto or Limba) and the inner core (5 or 7 ply). Koto is said to be crisper and limba softer. I find that the 5 ply version of these blades is a little brighter toned with less dwell and the 7 ply is a little softer with more, although both are probably the same speed. This isn't necessarilly what you would expect.
It's hard to make a picture of the Naturals series show the beauty of the natural wood (and I'm no photographer); but I love how the handles soak sweat and then dry quickly. To me they wear better than with the stain and don't get as slick. They use a single cut of more expensive wood as opposed to layers of colored plywood.
Comes with round case, tape, cut-to-fit adhesive plastics — ready to play.. Penholds will be gapped to just above 1/2" on the forehand side.
Natural Composites Combo SALE $65
Speed:Off-
Weight: around 175g
Plies: 5W
Wavestone is a thin, flexible Koto - ALC blade with a crisp feel but enough flex to give it some loopy kick. The MambaS is a thicker, faster ALC blade that tends to hit in a straigh line, but still has decent spin due to thicker outer plies of hinoki. KnightBee could be desicribed as a "Wavestone Inner" which has thicker outer layer and a softer ZLC Weave.
Comes with round case, tape, cut-to-fit adhesive plastics — ready to play.Premade Buster Combo
Speed:Touch01 (All+)
Weight: 165-185g
Plies: 5W
Why buy a premade when you can get a custom-made racket at the same price?
The premade buster has been my calling card for almost 20 years now. It is designed for what I call the "emerging basement player". I priced it with rememberence of my own days in college, and in combination with a bad experience buying a premade. This is designed to appeal to an intermediate crowd, esp in 1.9. Don't be concerned about the all+ rating, you can hit winners with this, especially after it breaks in a bit. It is made on a special version of cake 37 red sponge.
Comes with round case, tape, cut-to-fit adhesive plastics — ready to play.. Penholds will be gapped to just above 1/2" on the forehand side.

PB2
Speed: (All+)
Weight: 165-175g
Plies: 5W
The PB2 is an experiment in letting my manufacturers do some assembly. In other words, I'm getting these assembled, not doing it myself. However, the work looks good and have seemingly held up well over the 6 months I've had them. There are three handle styles with seemingly random Air topsheets on sponge like the Illumina Special. All do play well. There are three styles of handles: black/red stripe, black/purple pin-stripe, wine/grey. edit: having sold these a while I think I can say they all seem the same regardless of topsheet. Compared to the premade buster they seem a little faster and are a little heavier. Just got in some blue with wider yellow stripe and a similar design with black and purple wider stripe not pictured but look good.
Comes with round case (not plastics), tape — ready to play..
Beginner Combo
Speed: All- to ALL+
Weight: 155-165g
Plies: 5W
With a Air Touch01 Blade and thin-sponged rubbers, this is an ideal choice for beginners, kids, or anyone needing a very lightweight setup with reasonable spin and tons of control.
With Defender it has more tospin kick and more of a control loop feel while still chopping well at 1.7 and is really more allaround than defensive. I recommend 1.7 for most adult beginners.
The most current batch of flared came in black and red as pictured with the PB combo above.
Comes with round case, tape, plastic protectors — ready to play. Penholds will be gapped to just above 1/2" on the forehand side.

Some guys like them heavy... you know who you are! But seriously, I have collected a lot of heavy blades over the years, and I have some in most makes. I sell a lot to people with pips or hardbat who want weight, but not enough. Blades 93-100g are 25% off. 100g+ are half-off.
