I'm currently using a very oversized blade and most sheets don't fit it. Tackiness chop 1.1 fits, but has such a ridiculous high throw I don't like it. I know Giant Dragon has a few very large sheets. Anyone else?

The Tibhar Evolution rubbers have an extra cm of length compared with Tensors. Doesn't help if you want extra width, though.

Butterfly sheets are usually amongst the largest. Juic is another with large sheets.

If you check the rubber mass database, you can see the size of all sheets.

It's a Hock No. 74 blade from the 1950s. Not sure of the dimensions, but it's considerably larger than the Dr. Neubauer Firewall Plus, which is quite oversized itself.

In order you can apply the reference table as provided by Haggis, you have to make some measurements of your blade, namely width and lenght within a millimeter accuracy. And yes, your blade looks very far out of standard size. Some museum piece, indeed.

JUIC Ghost < 17.0cm 16.3cm > 72gr DEF+ 84.95 USD

NEUBAUER Firewall Plus < 16.4cm 16.0cm > 65gr ALL 68.95 USD

NEUBAUER Barricade < 16.7cm 16.3cm > 58gr DEF+ 63.95 USD

Scuttlebutt was that in England in the 1950s and 60s you could visit a druggist and they'd sell you sheets of British Leyland for your hardbat - it would come in large rolls and they'd cut off a piece for you. By the time Hock got the sheets, though (through MacCrossen), they'd been cut into squares.

I use darkside on the backhand. No problems finding long pips or short pips (hardbat rubbers) that fit. Tackiness Chop is OK on the forehand, but would love something with lower throw. There aren't many sponge rubbers that fit. I'm trying to play like a shakehand version of JJ Huang.

Oldtimers swear by that British Leyland stuff. Never had a chance to try it.

no, sorry Pal.

Butterfly Defence Series are 17 cm * 16 cm, and,

Several blade smith made blades in 18 cm range. :)

this begging a question,

Are We allowed to use several identical rubber on a blade side?

Those Chinese mini sheet too small for my Defence Apha

Do Butterfly sheets actually fit on the largest Butterfly blades???

The reason the Evolution sheets are so big is that they're supposedly made (at least partially) in Japan, and Japanese sheets are Butterfly sized. Mind, you, not all Japanese sheets are Japanese - Rakza, for instance, is German.

Incidentally, that old, bald Chinese guy plays with expanded long pips. I have a sheet of his own-brand rubber, I should probably mount it on something sometime (ttnpp sells it). Apparently it's made by soaking the rubber in olive oil until it swells to the desired size. Might this same technique be applied to inverted rubber? Might be worth a try, lots of $5 sheets out there one can experiment with, though it'd be a waste of perfectly good olive oil, which isn't cheap. However, if you expand the sheets by 25% that means you'll end up with 5mm thick rubber. If it weren't already illegal THAT would make it illegal! :lol:
