And, have you had a chance to measure the frequency?

Sheet has been updated with all submissions. I've been travelling a bit lately so slower than usual. I will try to update this once a week going forward.

I noticed you removed most of the duplicate entries (many were in the data I provided, sorry).
Unfortunately, there are still a few left. I noticed the following:
Butterfly    Boll Spark    89    1160
Butterfly    Boll Spark    83    1162
Butterfly    Boll Spark    82    1240
Butterfly    Grubba ALL+    80    1101
ITC    Challenge Speed    89    1378
Stiga    Clipper     91    1356
Stiga    Energy Wood WRB    81    1199

I have data of a number of Nexy blades that are not in the table.
What is faster for you, if I post them here or if I use the web form?

I also have expressed doubts as to whether the frequency represents blade speed, but the OP prefers to leave this topic for other threads.

In any case, I don't feel Violin, even with 85+ grams, is an OFF blade. I think it's ALL+ or, at most, OFF-.
I never played a Monophonic: is there really that much difference?

By the way, just to be clear, I do not believe frequency represents absolute blade speed. I do believe that it is a strong indicator in most cases. I think it's great if people discuss this but we already have multiple threads on that matter and this thread in particular should just be a resource and place to share new data, not for a theory crafting discussion

I would agree with arg0 on the Violin, I would def not rate it OFF even at 88g with a large handle. OFF-/ALL+ is what would come to my mind.

I cannot confirm since I never used the Android app, but the numbers seem plausible to me.

here is what I did:

After taking sample, I bring the purple (or green, same...) vertical axis at the level of the maximum amplitude between the white and yellow functions, which is also the maximum height of the yellow function, giving the M1 values above (Note that zooming on the result allows a better reading to better pin on the highest point).

Is this the correct process?





That is correct

I'm pretty sure that the first 2 "DHS" blades in the list, T11+ and N9, are in fact Yinhe/Galaxy.

h0n1g,
here's over 50 more data points that I have measured over time. I found no duplicates with those currently in the database. Putting those individually into the submission form would take me ages, so I'm attaching a CSV file to this post. Let me know if you have problems in copy-pasting from it.
Note: I had to rename it to .csv.txt, otherwise the system would not let me upload it. Just remove the .txt extension.

uploads/20417/Frequencies.csv.txt

Note that the BBC blade on line 2 is called 9-10-9. I had to put it between single quotes in the CSV file, otherwise Excel would interpret it as a date.

That's a lot of great data arg0! I'm happy I could see ratings for many different nexy blades that I have been curious about.

Yes... well, still a few missing... what would be a good way to supplement the data? 

Could a vendor kick in... maybe?

Added my new Stiga Clipper, also weighted and measured frequency on a bunch of blades.
From what I can remeber:
4 different Celero blades all similar weight all in the 1150 range
3 or 4 Allround NCT all 75 grams all in the 1100-1120 range
Carbonado 90, 86 grams, 1350ish

Clipper was 85 grams and 1280. Lightest and slowest one they had.
Usually non wrb ones with legend handle are 95+ grams. Extra 10 grams gives it soeed too.

Use English please. Google translate translates to ""Higgs 1100?" Slower Fanatic?"
Doesn't make much sense to me.
Anyway, Nexy Higgs is advertised as a fast blade. Mine wasn't. It would help getting frequency data from another Higgs.

Oh, I see: what is auto-translated into "Fanatic" is actually the "Zealot" blade!

Yes, this is what I get: Higgs has a much lower frequency than Zealot.

My playing impressions confirm this: I played with Higgs several months ago and with Zealot recently. I can confirm that Zealot is a rather fast and rigid blade, while I did not like Higgs and found it rather slow (I put slow rubbers on Higgs expecting it to be fast, so my comparison may not be 100% accurate).

It could be that my Higgs is a lemon (bad sample, or broken), or that the manufacturer data not accurate.

?I use the Fanatic + Tenerjee 05 + Karis M + (2.2). And Higgs + Karis M + (2.0) + Nittaku Fastak G1 for 6 months, ... It seems to me that Higgs is faster, more powerful (but I'm not a pro, but an advanced amateur ...). In your case, I doubt that Nexi can make a substandard product ... although ...
        And also: Higgs has 7 layers of wood, and the Fanatic has 5. It says something about something.
