Cornilleau is going to release a new blade series called "Gatien".
Some have exotic wood as rosewood or ebenholz, another is a 15-ply! carbon blade. Cornilleau Gatien Absolum OFF+ Power in the pure state Devastating power obtained through the use of surface ebony. The central plies are of uniform thickness, heightening the sense of control necessary in blade of this quality! Structure : 7-Plywood External layers : Ebony Weight : 95g Cornilleau Gatien Pure OFF+ A revolutionary 15-ply structure 15-ply for a unique topspin sensation! This «elastic» power is also harnessed on the strike, whilst the counter-initiative of comfort and safety are never overlooked. Structure : 15-Plywood ( 13+2 Carbon ) External layers : Limba Weight : 85g Cornilleau Gatien Glory OFF An impressive output A slender blade structure, yet extremely dynamic on impact. The outer Rosewood plies provide precision and vibro-acoustic comfort. Structure : 5-Plywood External layers : Rosewood Weight : 85g Cornilleau Gatien Vision OFF+ A "soft carbon" blade which really packs a punch A "carbon" sensation which keeps a low profile at low speed, but is capable of releasing a huge burst of power when necessary. Formidably efficient. Structure : 7-Plywood (5 + 2 Carbon) External layers : Tiba Mahogany Weight :85g Cornilleau Gatien Conquest OFF A sturdy character The hard outer Wenge plies make the blade extremely responsive. This incisiveness is perfectly counterbalanced by the clever use of balsa on either side of the triple central birch ply. Structure : 9-Plywood External layers : Wenge Weight : 85g Cornilleau Gatien Origin OFF- To be consumed without moderation The central structure, made up of three uniform Abachi plies gives this blade impressive stability. This translates as impeccable control in every phase of play. Structure : 7-Plywood External layers : Walnut Weight : 90g |

oops... wrong again. forgot about one. so the count is 24 5plys, 3 7plys, and 1 3ply 7 ply: Donic Ovtcharov Senso V1 (still en route, that's why I forgot about it) DHS PG7 HRT Clipper 3ply: Peter Freundlieb custom (for hardbat) I'll probably sell the 7 ply blades locally after I have some more fun with them. I'm hoping the 3 ply serves me well for hardbat (it's also en route). Eventually I'll whittle the collection down to a dozen 5 plys or so |

I wonder how much that 15 ply will sell for? My taste in cars and blades has always been unusual.
3x Ah WRC 1x Ah Spruce 1x Ah Bamboo 1x BBC 9-10-9 3x YLT cameo 1x YLT Kameo 2x YLT Kombination 1x YLT Mastercraftsman 2x Dunlop Barna 2x Aubrey Simons (hardbat) Plus numerous others that I can't think of at the moment including sandpaper cork etc. I play with all of them. No wonder my game is so undefined. Just in case that you are interested, the YLT range is much reduced now but I notice that the website is back. Mark Bellamy the owner, is an excellent blademaker and has been at it for many years.

Palio's website is the only one that lists the blades as available in ST and AN handles - but am I being a moron or is there not a "store" where you can buy things on the Palio site?

So many OFF+ models in the Gatien line...
Who exactly is the target market? (honest question) |

that's a great question. with the xiom hayabusa lineup it's obvious... maybe this is Cornilleau's attempt at the same

I wonder why they've used Gatien, who 1) hasn't played for quite some time, and many players new to the sport won't know him (he's not JoW), 2) never used a Cornilleau blade throughout his professional career. It just seems a bit pointless.
All that said, he's still my favourite player of all time, so have at it!

It depends, in fact. During his peak, in 1993, he was using the Stiga Allround Evolution, Mark V both sides, and enough speedglue to make young children faint from the fumes. After he won the 1993 WTTC, he signed with Yasaka, and switched to the Extra (there are theories that it was still a Stiga AE with Extra handles, but that isn't true. It really was an Extra.)
