Old blade new rubber
Equipment
ujjval verma Asked 11 years ago
Dear Alois
I am in dilemma. I have two old blades to choose one for new rubbers (Yasaka Rakza 7 + Rakza 9). Which blade should I use for new rubbers. Conditions of both the blades is good (not excellent).
1. Donic ultracarbon senso (very thin layer of glue is not removable by rubbing despite all efforts; previous owner placed too much local glue on it). Very good blade... I am using it for last one year and its set on my hands.
Carbon blade, 7 ply.
2. Butterfly Joyner. (2-3% part of blade's upper surface (on extreme left side) is damaged on both sides while putting off the old rubbers). Generally ball never get hit on this area of blade. I used to play with this blade earlier and I like. Main thing is that this blade is light weight and helps me on my backhand strokes alot.
Allwood blade, 5 ply.
Please advise which blade should I use.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Ujjval,
I would go with the Jonyer because it doesn’t have the layer of glue which may effect the performance. The damage on the sides won’t make any difference. Remember though that the blade makes very little difference.

Tone is in Your Fingers
There's is an old saying about guitar playing - tone is in your fingers. And If you've ever seen a really good guitarist play an old guitar then you'll understand how true that saying is. I know we go on a lot about this topic but it is so true. Once you've got yourself a decent bat, it's no longer up to the equipment, it's up to YOU!

Thanks for super prompt response. I would use jonyer without confusion anymore.
Hi Ujjval,
You should be able to get ride of the old glue with some Acetone and hard work.
