Compositions

When experimenting with various blade compositions, some designs naturally stand out among the rest. The ones listed below I consider my most exceptional designs. The details of each all-wood composition are provided along with the blades's playing characteristics. Select your blade's composition from one of these proven designs, or if you're feeling adventurous, create your own compositions based on my extensive inventory of veneer and core materials. After choosing a composition, check out the blade shapes and select one to use for your blade. Some compositions lend themselves to certain head shapes, however, any of the compositions can be built using any of the blade shapes.

Sotto Voce

Sotto Voce is a family of offensive 5-ply blades, each featuring a balsa core, ipe medial plies, and soft outer plies that temper the exceptionally hard and rigid ipe base. The result is a blade with a large sweet spot - fast, but with a delicate touch.
