| Is there any solution available like Eproxy that can be applied on one side of the blade to make it slower? |

| In my experience, epoxy around the blade's neck, will stiffen it, and make it faster. Better off finding a slower blade, and make one side faster using the epoxy trick around the neck, in my opinion. |

Try adding 0.25mm to 1mm of cork on one side of a thick paddle, it will NOT be legal because cork is not wood but: 1) even though that ply stops at the level of the top of the handle, the playing surface is still 100% uniform. 2) the cork is not thicker than 15% of the total thickness, in case somebody argues that cork is not wood, which is true. 1 mm cork needs a 6.67mm (total thickness incl. cork which is not unseen) paddle. You could start with that: http://www.corkstore.com/Products/Speciality-Sheets" rel="nofollow - http://www.corkstore.com/Products/Speciality-Sheets . 0.8mm might be too much. That's all I could think among solutions we can apply without a professional involved. When you are satisfied with the result, you can go 100% legal by pushing the cork under the thin and soft outer ply with an special order from SDC for example. ------------- /forum/topic91512_page1.html#1124698" rel="nofollow - sales - forum_posts.asp?TID=19315" rel="nofollow - feedback |
