An Introduction…

Ian Worz

Hello All,

Some of you may know me from the MyTT forum, or perhaps from my blades, or perhaps not at all, and that’s just fine. I’m Ian Worz of Wörz Beat Sticks and I’ll be contributing to the blog. I hand-make custom blades in North Florida. Things started small with balsa blades for my club mates but they just kept progressing. Balsa blades are still my biggest sellers, but my range of materials and techniques have far outgrown that first batch.  It’s been a lot of fun so far and I hope I can afford to keep offering such a service.

I’m also looking forward  writing a bit more about table tennis and sharing some technical knowledge in regard to blades. Good hitting to all!

Learn more about me and my website on my profile.

Ian.
