These are oversize blades particularly suitable for modern defenders. The Euro Chopper and the Euro Cut are similar blades, the main difference being the size, which is why they are covered in this section together.
The Euro Chopper approximate measurements are: Width 162mm, height 171mm (height is from top of handle to tip of blade) with thickness 5.5mm. The Euro Cut approximate measurements are: Width 158mm, height 164mm (height is from top of handle to tip of blade) with thickness 5.5mm.
Weight of the Euro Chopper seems in the range of 105-110g, whereas the Euro Cut in the range of 95-100g. Although this is a little heavy, the bat is very much bottom heavy, meaning the centre of gravity is much more near the handle than the tip of the blade. This tends to improve feel and control for modern chopper. Often used with a long pimple rubber and/or thinner sponged rubbers, the overall weight is generally not excessive at all.
Both blades have a dark outer layer (looks like abachi wood) which seems to give it a very soft feel. This is nice for chopping, and also makes it feel slow for the short game, which is good for control. The firmer inner layer and the overall quite thin blade give it s springy feel and the oversize gives it a big sweet spot. There is plenty of speed in this blade for attack, and the speed feels around OFF- to OFF when you start hitting or looping the ball. The handle only comes in straight, which usually suits twiddlers.
