Blue Glamour
Sword Blue Glamour is a 7-ply hybrid blade built for offensive players who demand a powerful yet controlled game. Its five wood and two Arylate-Carbon (ALC) fiber construction delivers a significant speed boost while maintaining a large, forgiving sweet spot and a stable feel. This design excels in aggressive topspin and counter-topspin rallies, offering excellent mid-distance power and a comfortable grip. It stands as a compelling, high-value option for intermediate to advanced players seeking modern composite performance without the premium price tag.
This 5-wood + 2 ALC construction is designed for a blend of speed and flexibility. The ALC layers expand the sweet spot and add power, while the outer Limba and core Kiri aim to provide grip and dwell time for spin. Please note that exact wood types and placement in the inner plies may vary.
TT Sensei Ratings
✦Our expert analysis of this blade's performance characteristics
Blue Glamour is a fast blade built for offensive play. Our testing shows it delivers strong power for counter-topspins and excels in mid-distance rallies, offering a speed profile that can outperform some well-known composite blades in raw pace.
Despite its high speed, Blue Glamour maintains impressive control. This allows for safe blocking, precise placement in mid-distance rallies, and manageable power in aggressive shots. Its slightly lower throw angle is particularly beneficial for blocking and counter-hitting from short to medium range.
Blue Glamour delivers a solid, direct impact feel. It's less about delicate touch and more about a firm, stable connection, favoring powerful hitting and smashing over extremely soft touch play.
Blue Glamour features a lower throw angle compared to some blades. This promotes flatter trajectories, which is advantageous for blocking and counter-topspinning in fast, short-to-mid-range exchanges.
Dwell time is medium, typical for many ALC blades. It provides enough grip for spin generation but is not exceptionally long, which contributes to its faster, more direct character suited for powerful shots.
The blade has a stiffer, less flexible character. This contributes to its direct feel and high speed, providing a solid platform for powerful smashes and fast counter-attacks.
Players report minimal vibration, leading to a very stable and controlled feel even during powerful strokes. This effective dampening is a hallmark of well-made composite blades.
TTSensei experts note that Blue Glamour offers excellent value for its price point. It is widely perceived as a high-performance blade that rivals more expensive international options, suggesting solid manufacturing quality and a compelling performance-to-cost ratio.
Technology
Sword Blue Glamour utilizes a 5-wood and 2-Arylate-Carbon (ALC) fiber composite structure. This technology aims to balance elasticity, control, and power. The ALC layers are key, enhancing the sweet spot, boosting speed, and contributing to the blade's distinct feel. While specific proprietary details for this model aren't highlighted, the construction delivers performance comparable to high-end international blades at a more accessible price point.
