Boer Cassia Siamea

- first the composition of the blade is a mystery, then the name under which this blade is traded !!! ... look too under Boer Iron Sword Wood. ;-) Addendum: the carbonlayers are fake !!! (... but at a price of 6 € still recommendable.)

Blade cost me 7 us dollars with free delivery to europe. I purchased the blade at KuoChuang Store store at aliexpress. When I got the parcell from post and tried the naked blade, pitch was high and very strong surface. According to producer, blade is alc. Cassia Siamea then ayous then carbon and quite thick core of tung wood. The size of blade is bit smaller to Palio TCT. Rigid is medium. During the game I had harder 47 Bloom power on forehand, and euro tensor 47 at back hand. The game is much more controlable than Palio TCT. Speed is just tiny smaller but the hard surface gives the same strong shots, lot of power and linearity. I would rate it as a blade between off and off+. Reversing backspin or long pips is not so easy as Palio TCT. I had to adjust the shoot angles. For me weight is just a bit less. I have got used to heavy setup so for me it is not a problem. Sweet spot at blade is not that large, when you hit the ball during rally of topspins, in the place that is more outer of center of blade, sound is different and quality of shot also. The handle is also bit smaller than Palio blades and european standard, but it is not as narrow as a child handles. It is passible. What i can say more...bye bye palio tct, welcome new better alc blade with tons of more control in passive game and beter linearity in offensive game. I am recommending this blade very much, becouse it is far way better than some euro ones 8 times expencive. By the way with this blade, and for example 729 cross 46 black rubber on forehand and boosted rubber Reactor tonado v5 40+ with baby oil at backhand, you can make real competition blade that cost less than 20 us dollars.
