I will combo price any blade with any rubber but AIR brand, 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: $32 * Combo price: $52 Thin hinoki carbon that I like because it doesn't have as much carbon "ping" as you normally feel with this type of blade. I've always thought it felt like there might be some arylate in the weave. I got my original 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. Since then I have sold dozens with excellent feedback. The crafstmanship of this blade, the aesthetics (finish), may not be quite up to the T series, but I think it plays much better. Better tone and control. More dwell. Seems like better materials. |

| Galaxy De-1 (Triple Arylate) | |
|
Price: $32.00 * Combo price: $52.00 This is a modern defender's blade with a nice, natural wood look. Earlier versions were faster, but I'd call this one off-. It has a large enough head shape for functional chopping, but enough speed for a pretty good loop. The three layers of arylate give a very consistent block. Not so much a drop shot block, but more of a punch block. |
|
| Dawei Genote F (Glassfiber) | |
|
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: $64.00 * Combo price: $84.00 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: $34.00 * Combo price: $54.00 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. Email for availability on those. *OUT OF STOCK T7 STRAIGHT* |

| Galaxy T-10 Balsa Carbon | |
|
Price: $42.00 * Combo price: $62.00 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: $32 * Combo price: $52 I've tried several of the dawei carbon arylate blades and this was my favorite. Offensive but not ridiculous. Weight is coming in around 86g. Great control and soft feel for a fast carbon 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 in quality of materials 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. Mostly because the plies over the carbon are fairly thick. Much more so than say the T series. |

| Gambler Oversized Kevlar | |
|
Price: $32.00 * Combo price: $50-55.00 Great blade for a defesive minded player who still needs some ability to attack. It definitely leans toward defense though. The kevlar gives it great touch and consistency for blocking, especially drop shot or dead ball blocking. This blade has probably more control than anything I carry besides the toxic3. |
|
| 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, slightly above average. Surprising top end speed for how soft this blade plays in the short game. STRAIGHT NO LONGER IN PRODUCTION. |

| Galaxy V14, K5, K6 Carbokev | |
|
Price: $52 * Combo price: $72.00 Correctly marked as "Medium Fast" speed, this racket is has 5 plies of wood and two layers of carbon/kevlar weave. Extremely high quality blades. Very soft and spinny but springy enough to loop with at mid distance. Very little carbon tone in K5. Slight carbon tone in K6. V14 is replacing the K4. |
