Wow, carbon... It's still a slow, I suppose?

perhaps he changed....he used to use an ANNA defensive blade made by a custom guy in russia...you could easily see it on the last few pictures someone posted....it also had two layers of carbon

It is the same blade. A custom one made in Russia.

where would one buy such a blade would you know data?

I've ordered one^^ 60 € + shipping to western europe (7,50€)

If interested, I know the man that can produce little series of the balde (Russia); dimensions of the racket are"on demand", 165x155 or other choice is possible.

I could not manage to get this blade because the person I rely on didn't answer me... Maybe I will ask him another time during summer holidays.

Ok, this blade is mine now! I'll give it a try maybe next week. At first sight, the blade is medium, not too hard like I feared. Still a DEF/DEF+ blade, not too speedy.

I went to the sport hall tonight and I could not wait more longer^^ So I've tried the "E.SHETININ Carbon-hit" blade, with Piranja FD Tec 1,2mm and globe999 1,5mm (japan sponge 35°)... So much pleasure to play with this weapon!

The racket is not light (170g) but I enjoye its pretty good feeling for classical defense. The throw angle is NOT that low, comparaed to Toccata Carbon Def. Definitely an amazing chop machina, with a medium feeling and average speed (considering it is a Defensive blade). No problem to attack at all, even with the quite slow and ultra tacky globe999 (non-tensor). Backspin is awesome, and pushes are deceptive.

I keep it to practise an "academic" classical defense game, with pretty good all-around habilities...

Great to watch. I'm a huge fan of Ma Lin, he's so charismatic and emotional by Chinese standards.

Oldie Chtche reaches SF in Belarus Open 2013.

Very nice just to see those still images. You can clearly see some of the finer points of his grip.
Look at the large amount of space between the edge of the racket and the web between his thumb and
forefinger. Some players jam the racket down tight into that space, which makes the racket quite stable,
but that puts a limit on the range of the racket when snapping the wrist.
He holds the racket "long" in his hand giving himself a great chance for maximum flexible use (or not) of the wrist.
