The Explorer OFF- blade is very precisely descriped by the words "controlled offensive". It has the stiffness of an offensive blades - almost as stiff as the Galaxy - and works really well at high impact, but combined with most other blades in this category, it is less springy and holds the ball a little bit longer (we honestly can't measure it, but it surely feels that way). This makes it a little easier to handle in difficult situations than the Galaxy blade. The two blades are actually made for the same range of players, but the Galaxy is the quick and lively version, while the Explorer sensible and maybe slightly boring version. The Explorer can be seens as a "big brother" to our Columbia-blade, since they share the same outer veneer - and thus have a quite similar feel (despite the Explorer being much stiffer). Due to the two carbon layers, the Explorer is a bit more expensive than our other blades. Facts: 5 wooden layers and two "soft carbon". 6.0 mm thick.. Highest quality. 3 different handles. Made in Sweden. Around 90 grams.
