Ross made me a "Rapscallion"   I named it the Nemesis series...I loved it so much, i decided to have him make me another blade with a slightly different look and feel.  

Here are some pictures as to how it turned out.












This blade is more similar to the Nittaku Violin.    It is a tad faster and stiffer than the rapscallion, however the blade is still light.   Ross was able to make the blade around 82grams for me.   I have Tenergy 05fx on one side and have tried many rubbers on the other...   The blade performs nicely under all circumstances.    

I dont know that i could say enough about the workmanship and quality of this blade.   

It is incredibly solid.   I have about 5 high end butterfly blades including the Timo Boll ZLF and ALC.   This blade competes with any of the highest end blades i have tried.   

I also recently purchased a Xiom Zetro Quad and find myself going back to the Ross Leidy blade time and time again.  

I have never felt a more comfortable handle.   The gorgeous wood is just amazing to look at and more incredible to feel.  

Questions are welcomed....  More details to come as well.

I don't have any questions, but that is definitely (IMO) one of the more attractive blades I've seen him make to date. Congratulations!

He and I have conversed a few times (and unfortunately for him, at great length) about making me a blade... but I can't quite get the blade I want at the weight I prefer. 

Someday... someday...

Anyway, congratulations again on a beautiful blade.

Very nice blade! How much does it vibrate when hitting, looping, pushing? Does it have enough power for counter-looping away from the table? Is it faster than timo boll alc?
