Salming Raven

The Salming Raven blade is a new for the 2020/21 season. This blade is one of the light and straighter blades with low concavity. We recommend it to all players who want on fast and sharp shots. Its flat backhand side allows good control of the ball on the backhand side.

Raven is a combination of several blades. The basic shape of the blade takes over from its predecessor Quest 1 blades. Salming removed 1 of the 3 ribs in the heel from the Quest 1 blade and added this rib to the center of the blade. Raven therefore has 6 vertical ribs, which give you excellent torsional rigidity. So you can shoot really hard!

From the Raptor blades Raven took the profile T-shape of the horizontal (longitudinal) ribs. This shape strengthens the blade and at the same time provides you with a larger contact area with the ball. This results in more accurate shooting - especially by slap shot.

Raven also took a piece of Hawk blade. More precisely, Claw took the so-called claw on the tip of the blade, with which all loops and pullers will be faster and more accurate. Since the blade itself is at least concave, traction would be difficult. However, the already mentioned "claw" solves this problem. It keeps the ball on the blade and pushes it slightly to the ground, which will help you to better control it.

The weight of the Raven blade is great, only 72g, which makes this blade one of the lightest blades on the market.

Blade Hardness

BioPower ™ - Hard

Medium hard blade. Exceptional durability, low friction and perfect playing qualities. Endurance ™ blades are originally used on most Salming sticks.

Endurance ™ - Medium hard

The Power of Nature! This hard material is made from sugar cane. The added value does not only serve the environment, but the blade also stands out with its gaming qualities - the feel for the balloon and the sharp shot. The minimum bio-base is 96%!

Touch ™ - Medium soft

Soft blade. Touch is a blend of materials that contains 50% BioPower. The ball almost does not bounce from the blade, in addition to soft material does not take even when shooting.

Touch Plus ™ - Soft

The softest blade material from Salming. Touch Plus is a blend developed for even more sensitive processing and fine technology. The ball does not bounce as much as it does with hard blades. We recommend this material for rubber surfaces.
