I will combo price any blade with any rubber but Highpoint, but I have so many different options with different prices on rubbers, sponges, and topsheets that really the only way to work a combo is for you to email me and we'll work out pricing. As a general rule the combo adds two rubbers and a case for $20, so below is a button that adds $20 to the order. Unfortunately, you still have to designate what rubbers, colors, thicknesses, hardnesses, penhold gap, and any other specs in an email. There are cases where you may want a combination that doesn't fall well into that $20 rule though (usually that means cheaper - pips with no sponge for example), so as per usual, feel free to email me for specific quotes. Combo's come assembled by default, with rubbers, blade, case, tape, ready to go.
| Combo Upcharge $20 | |
|
Price: $20.00 I wish had a system where you could select your rubbers in this combo upcharge button, or even a place for comments where you could write in the specs for your combo. Unfortunately my paypal shopping cart is just too limited and my rubber options too diverse, given that I allow different sponge/topsheet combinations as well. So the only thing I can do is ask you to email me the specs when you order the combo upcharge: cole_ely@hotmail.com | |
| Inspirit Quattro and Quattro UL Combo Upcharge | |
|
Price: $2 per sheet upcharge Click this button once for each sheet of Quattro or Quattro UL you want to use in a combo. Use this also if you want any sponge/top combination that costs over $14. |

| Dawei GTS Carbon | |
|
Price: $30 * Combo price: $50 This blade is built like the wavestone but must be somehow different because the feel is better, and I know it's not the superthin outer layers of hinoki doing it. I got a sample of this blade and, after playing it, immediately ordered it in for stock. Good thing I tried it before my club mate, becaue once he latched onto it he wouldn't give it back. | The sale is for flared only. Not straight or cpen. Email me to obtain the sale price.

| Galaxy De-1 (Triple Arylate) | |
|
Price: $33.00 * Combo price: $53.00 This is a prototype still, I think. It's not painted at all anyway. It's supposed to be a defensive blade with three layers of arylate. To me it's way too fast to be defensive though, but I guess maybe not for the modern defender who's taking every opportunity to turn defense into offense. I'd put the speed as offensive. This blade blocks beautifully. The arylate absorbs the hardest of shots and sends it back uniformly, or so it seems to me. I do have one straight in stock now as well. |

| Dawei Genote F (Glassfiber)- Out of Stock in Flared | |
|
Price: $25.00 * Combo price: $45.00 The genote series is made with the highest quality of wood selections available, and is surpased by no chinese blades that I've tried and very few euro/japan blades. The Genote F contains two layers of glassfiber to add consistency across the blade face and dampen the vibration just a tiny bit. The blade is fairly soft and a little flexible making it great for a euro-looping game. This blade is about 6mm thick and weighs around 87g. I'd call it on the low end of offensive but not off-. This one has been getting very good review so far. |

| Galaxy W1 Wood King | |
|
Price: $60.00 * Combo price: $80.00 Why would the "Wood King" have two layers of carbon? That's what I want to know too. Honestly, I was kind of disappointed to find out that it did, until I tried it that is. This thing has the fast, solid feel of carbon, but virtually no "PING" at all. Very high quality: soft with tons of feel. I suppose it's off+ but the feel is straight off. Expensive too...but as good as anything twice the price. To me, this is the best carbon blade I've ever played with. I've had a couple of better players confirm my opinion. |
|
| Galaxy T Series | |
|
Price: $30.00 * Combo price: $50.00 The T series is considered among the higher quality makes of Galaxy, and are often compared to more expensive Butterfly carbon/arylate blades. The outer ply looks like hinoki but I think they might be juniper, not really sure. They have a more traditional carbon feel than the more wood-like W1. The T7 is correctly marked as "medium" speed. The T8 is also correctly marked as fast. They look identical so I only posted one pic. I try to keep some other T blades around as well, typically T1, 2, and 4. |

| Galaxy T-10 Balsa Carbon | |
|
Price: $30.00 * Combo price: $50.00 I have this one listed seperately because it's a different animal from the rest. This is a very thick balsa carbon. Superfast speed, but the softness of the balsa does give it a bit of spin too. I don't like the tone of thick balsa, but having some carbon in there balances that out a bit. If you want maximum power in an ultralight blade, this is the one. This is a hitting blade, not a looping blade. |
|
| Dawei WaveStone Carbon Arylate | |
|
Price: $28 * Combo price: $48 I've tried several of the dawei carbon arylate blades and this was my favorite. Offensive but not ridiculous like most of them. Weight is coming in around 90g. Great control and soft feel for a fast blade. The only reason this is less expensive than other composite blades on my site is because I get a better deal on them since I buy them direct from dawei. Actually, outer plies are limba, second only on this page to the w1. Straight or flared handle are both hollow. This blade has a more prominent carbon feel than most of what carry, but the tone isn't a nasty ping. Still, it has a feel like the traditional balsa carbon blades more than it feels like the dampened arylate blades. |

| Gambler Oversized Kevlar | |
|
Price: $32.00 * Combo price: $50-55.00 I'm calling this one "the best blade for the modern defender." Oversized hock shape gives great chopping and lots of room for error in blocking. Combine this with the fact that the kevlar makes it much more consistent across the blade face which eliminates a potential problem with a blade this size. However, the kevlar allows this blade to remain extremely flexible and very soft. Also helps to absorb some of the shock when blocking an attack. Speed is perfect for combination attack/defense play with the emphasis on defense. |
|
| Gambler Arylate Carbon | |
|
Price: $32.00 * Combo price: $52.00 This is a control-oriented composite blade, but it still has some kick and flex. Tone is very nice. Not much carbon "tonk" sound at all. It really lets the cork sound ring out when using speed glued rubbers. Would be nice for two wing balanced looper (even a bit off the table) or modern combination defensive players as well. Head size and shape is very nice. I'm seriously considering using this blade myself. |

| Galaxy K4, K5, K6 Carbokev **ALL OUT OF STOCK** | |
|
Price: $49.95 * Combo price: $70.00 Correctly marked as "Medium Fast" speed, this racket is has 5 plies of wood and two layers of carbon/kevlar weave. Handle is hollow. Extremely high quality blade. Very soft and spinny but springy enough to loop with at mid distance. Absolutely no ping except a bit in K6. Kevlar feel is much more prominent than the carbon. I also am stocking k4 and k6 now at the same price.. | They are both a bit slower than the K5. WOW, OUT OF STOCK FOR A COUPLE WEEKS. I'VE SOLD MORE OF THESE IN THE LAST MONTH THAN THE PREVIOUS THREE...GO FIGURE.
