OSPblades Forum Testing

First my answer is yes. You can custom order it via oldstiga.com > register > fill out the custommade form or place an order for Virtuoso via OSP and add a remark into the last text field with exact dimesion or simply send me a mail via OSP contact form.

But we are really interested in your opinion. We can expand our handle scale if needed. The question is that if CPEN players can accept Virtuoso and Ultimate?

Here you are the pics:

I briefly used my Clipper Wood An. (85.5g, blade itself) w/some cheapie rbrs Vs Samgoody yesterday (He came to Vancouver for a drop-in @ my club). I lent him this Virtuoso and just after a couple of mins. of play, he told me that Virtuoso combo is faster, more powerful. I had the same thought as well. I was thinking that how come this Clipper which is supposedly a more powerful and solid blade plays so much different than Virtuoso and yet not as fast/powerful w/ nice control.  A 7 ply "benchmark" powerhouse blade IS NOT or even as nice as 5 ply Virtuoso? Bear in mind that Clipper Wood is one of my all-time favourites, I always enjoy it's Solidness and it's "inner" Strength. Fast, solid, minimal flex, virtually no vibration, good in all aspects BUT something is still missing that only Virtuoso can provide and just a few mins. w/Clipper and later w/Virtuoso I could immediately distinguish the sweet attributes of Virtuoso and all these just outshine those of Clipper....

 

I ordered 1 Virtuoso FL and 1 Spear FL.

 

Not because i want to compare, but because I think these are 2 very good blades.

 

I know PL blades, and I can imagine Virtuoso as a powerful 5 ply with the quality lamina and very good handle and craftmanship.

 

I guess i know how spear is going to be, because i had 2 donic offensive 40 and i can tell they were really good blades. and very difficult to score (for average players) better with other blades because the right balance between what Nexy says staying and bang impact. They are very good looping blades with a lot of control due to the staying performance. spear i think can be like sriver L in the glue era, not so exciting but at the time of playing a good scoring rubber.

 

The issue about spear (limba spruce ayous) is that pll can make a spear hand custom made. It will not be 60$.

 

Things are changing in the market, as far as the market has more knowledge and gets more expert about blades.

 

Either virtuoso or spear are probably blades to play well with and develop.

 

Lets see.

 

  

 

 

Of course we expand our handle scale by CPEN.

In our way.

We still beliveve that CPEN is not only a handle but a style so with a CPEN handle you will have a real CPEN racket of the certain type that is adjusted to CPEN playing style..

First we will be ready to push out Ultimate CPEN (than Virtuoso CPEN) before branching out Expert.

At the same time I hereby inform you that we are over 100 woods sold so our free P+P offer on the first 100 buyer has ended.
