The Modern Defender’s Engine: SWORD CHOP 309 (9-Ply Wood)The SWORD CHOP 309 represents a bold departure from conventional defensive blade design. While most defensive blades utilize 3 or 5 layers, the 309 features a sophisticated 9-ply all-wood construction. This multi-layered approach is designed to provide a “progressive” response: a soft, dampening feel for delicate short-game control and a solid, elastic core that activates during high-power strokes. This makes it an ideal weapon for the modern defender who relies on heavy-arc chops but stays ready to punish any weak return with a sharp counter-attack.Unmatched Control and Spin PotentialThe hallmark of the SWORD CHOP 309 is its incredible stability during high-intensity rallies. The 9-ply structure effectively dissipates the impact of the 40 plastic ball, minimizing disturbing vibrations and giving the player a crystal-clear “hand-feel.” This high-fidelity feedback is essential for executing deceptive variations in spin—from “dead” blocks to heavily loaded under-spin chops. Its oversized blade head further increases the sweet spot, ensuring maximum forgiveness on emergency gets. Whether paired with long pips for disruption or inverted rubbers for a balanced all-round game, the 309 delivers world-class consistency and legendary SWORD craftsmanship.Handle: FL | STStyle: Chop | OffensiveStructure: 9 woodThickness: 6.0±0.3mm (for reference only)Weight: 88±5 (for reference only)Click here to learn more about the Sword brandLike this:Like Loading...
