I must say that the new "improved" look makes it look alot better. Nice work Tommy.

Not sure about the legality of the blade, I couldn't spot any place were you went to deep on the blade. Looking forward to hear how it performs compared to how it used to perform.

About the attack on PPRob, I believe this was a comment made to illustrate how the poster felt about Robs comment towards Tommy. I agree that it "sounded" harsh, but please try to remember that not every one who posts here have English as their first language, so some of our posts might come out wrong. No need to complain about his shop, I haven't heard of any customer being dissatisfied with the service yet.

I must be getting soft letting members go off on me and not attacking back! :-). I'm hoping it's an English as a second language thing. Anyway, I do appreciate the props I got for trying to transform something useless into something useful. I learned a lot. It was an expensive experiment, but I think in the end I will have created something interesting. I will let you all know how it plays by next week. I need to over-seal the carbon exposed area to protect it and level out the playing surface.

My comments Towards Tommy wern't Harsh Speedplay. I was just stating a point, Again Sorry Tommy if it sounded that way.


You wont find a customer dissatisfied with my service, because I will do what ever it take to make sure everyone is 100% satisfied.

If I could repair Tommys bat with my skillfull wood working skills, believe me I would. Wink

Speedplay, thanks for sticking up for me!! I'm so glad we're cool and teamed up against injustice. As far as my bat . . . it's great. Even with a worn spot in the corner it's better than an illegal blade that would be tossed in a drawer somewhere. I appreciate the repair offers, but no need. This bat is a salvage job anyway. I would never buy one again no matter how it plays. I used to be into the techie coated stuff, but now I'm going old school wood. I might finish this baby up with some creative sealing to protect the oversanded area, then glue on an H3 and see what happens. Chances are I will give it as a present to one of my disabled clients, who lives on $20 spending money per month. He will be thrilled to have a bat that sold for $200 with or without my modification. Stillllll, it will be cool to see what my handywork amounted to. I will take pics soon and report my findings.

Tommyzai is making experiment with his expensive blade, and we will get good informations when he has finished it and use the blade. I think we should be thankful for that, at least I am Clap

Hey, I might be willing to mail my blade to one of you, then that player could mail it to someone, and so on, and so on. It might be fun to pass it around. :-). What do you think?

To be very honest wif u all, I'dn't even dare/dream of/have the gut to sand any of my blades..esp. those godly or heavenly jpens. BUT on the other hand a blade like Kreanga Carbon just begs for ur itchy hands to do someth'm abt the "Faked" or "High-teched" paint job.
We all know now how Tz is, just a can't sit or stand still kinda t/t fanatic, just wanna "Do Someth'n" or "Do anyth'n"!
Just on aside, if u guys want a perfect Blade-neck-sanding job, TommyZai really does a fine job so is RYNO...I'dn't hesitate to send my blades to them.
Talk abt sending blade around US, I did send once my TBS to Wisconsin, but it was sent back due to wrong address n I resent again for a t/t forum friend and he sent it back after test n the blade was still just fine. Just amazing journey my TBS had taken.

This is just a great idea. We could call the thread : The extraordinary journey of the modified KC. Where we could tell the story of the blade. We each keep it 1 week or two and we dress it with diff rubbers and we take pictures that we report here. We would report against who it has played and how it behaved. This game would just cost us the postage and at the end, tommyzai, we would send it back to you after 2 or 3 round the world. The legendary modified KC will then become priceless...What do you think ?

Let's do it!! I will need until Sunday to finish, then I can mail on Monday. Who's first? I'm in California for what it's worth. This will be fun. Hey, I don't want you guys to worry to much if it gets a little wear here and there. I've destroyed the value of this thing anyway. If along the way one of you loves it and wants it back we can work something out after the rounds are complete. Deal?

It's going to arrive with uneven sanding (a little carbon exposure in the lower corner), but smoothed out with Varathane. We'll not only get to see and feel what a KC is like stripped down, but we'll also experience what it's like heavily sealed/lacquered. I have no idea how this thing will feel, but it's going to be light and fast! I think the BH side looks less grinded away, so you might consider using that as the FH side.

Even if this thing is hated all around the world I think it will be worth the postage for the novelty of it all.

Let's do it!

Maybe we should each initial it with a perm marker too. We might be starting a really cool trend in forum fellowship.

Anyone is San Francisco? I'm going up there this weekend and can hand it off. If not, I'll start with HOOKSHOT and he can pass it on from there. I'll try to have it ready for hand delivery by Friday or mailing Monday. I await . . .

This will be fun. I'll sign it first.

If no San Francisco members come forward by tomorrow I will mail to Hookshot, then who's next? Is it The NAM? Either way, I hope everyone gets it to try. If it's good or bad doesn't matter as much as the fun we'll have. :-).

I think this will work. Whoever has it, choose who's next and pass it on. At some point we need to go overseas. That's where the real fun begins. The journey begins Monday.
