Ich hole diesen Thread mal hoch, die Frage von knochenpeitsche bleibt für mich aktuell. Was wird Wenge zugeschrieben im Vergleich zu Limba, Ayous, Koto und insbesondere Hinoki? Das Nexy Chedech hat Wenge als Außenfurnier und die Werbeprosa erklärt, dass eine möglichst ähnliche dwell time wie bei Hinoki erreicht werden sollte bei dünnerem Furnier. Kann das jemand erklären bzw. ergänzen?

Ich zitiere aus Nexy's Originalbeschreibung:

In addition to the 4-points listed above, CHEDECH features an additional factor.
Previous generations of NEXY blades had three factors, i.e., “point,” “plane,” and “line.” But unlike “point” and “plane,” the factor “line” is mainly related to the surface wood.

NEXY has used Hinoki wood for many blades’ surfaces, because Hinoki excels in the feature of “line.” “Line” means the power to hold the ball and make the ball stick onto the surface.
When you play with Hinoki you can feel the ball is moving on the surface, as it feels sticky, and I call that “line” because the blade surface holds the ball and the ball rolls on one line on the blade.

This rolling feeling is a very important factor, and NEXY cherishes that feature. Many NEXY blades were made with a Hinoki top ply.


In order to welcome the “poly ball age,” NEXY is now proudly introducing a unique surface wood, which has a similar feeling as Hinoki, but slightly different.
It has less stickiness, which allows better control and an easier stroke.
However, it has a lot of power, with more durability than Hinoki wood. Hinoki has a very sophisticated character.

When it is cut thin, it does not embrace the ball with good control, so it needs to be cut thicker than typical surface wood layers.
But, when the ply is cut thick, it becomes too soft and there is a loss of speed.

So, it’s vital to find a right thickness per each blade design.
Yet, when we consider the poly ball’s heavier feeling and larger size, it’s not easy to make a good Hinoki surface blade.

CHEDECH uses Wenge wood in order to emulate the “line” characteristic of Hinoki when using a celluloid ball without sacrificing speed.
