Materials Kiri Paulownia + Rosewood
Thickness 6.0mm
4 mm core Kiri Paulownia plus thin sheet of cypress and outer veneer from Rosewood. This blade feels almost hard, but not very fast, with high accuracy and sensitivity, Very comfotrable in the block game close to the table and sudden attacks with the topspin. Great control and direction of the responses to the service, thanks to the hard rosewood that little was affected by the opponent. Made in Italy.

This Hercules blade, the american version of the Diana, feels amazing and alive. It has a lot of ‘feel’ and it allows excellent blocks and flat hits. I put a Joola Ultra Express 2.0mm short pips rubber and the rubber works perfect for my game style. My blocks are more sharper, loops are faster and my flat hits are more deadly. If you need more speed get the Dallas, if you want to add more accuracy,control and feel, definetly get the Hercules. UPDATE Jan25: I got a second Hercules blade as a back up. So far, it is an amazing blade. I have more control now of my flat kills and blocks. It has become my main weapon of choice.
