Hi Alois,

Can you tellme what should be an ideal weight of a blade.
I am thinking of buying joola carbon blade, whose weight is just 90g. Is it ok, because i never have used customized racket.

Also i want to fix mark v on its both sides. For how much time will mark v work up to.

Hi Aasim,

The weight of a blade is a personal preference.  90g is a reasonable weight.

Mark V will last about 80 playing hours.  So depending on the amount you play each week should last you around 6 months at least.

How much weight does rubbers conduct in a racket

For inverted rubbers, the weight of both your rubbers, depending on the type of rubber of course, will be around 80 to 90g together.

So Then racket becomes 180g. Will that be classified as light or heavy.

That would probably be an average weight.  I am not sure.  Others may have a better idea.

Sir a last question on this topic. How much amount of glue is used to paste two rubbers to a blade. I found one glue that is 37ml. Is that enough for one blade or there will be left something.


Alois Rosario

That will be plenty.  There will be a lot left over.

I am not sure but I think with the water based glues they tend to come in that size or bigger.
