Size & Weight (Caribbean Rosewood)
Rosewood is one of my heaviest wood species, and you can feel that across the entire width of the Aphrodite. While other models distribute their weight specifically, the Aphrodite in this wood is dense all over. In size 3 (33-35 grams), this provides a very reliable feel. She doesn’t deviate and spins with raw power.
| Size | Weight | Diameter | Your Spinning Experience |
| 2 | 23 -26 gram | 7,5 cm | Heavy hitter, compact size. Spin thicker singles anywhere, anytime. |
| 3 | 33 – 40 gram | 12 cm | For thick singles. |
Why Caribbean Rosewood?
This wood makes an impression. It is rare, legal, and heavy. After finishing, it feels smooth-soft (that is officially a word now) under your fingers. No rough grain, just the smooth quality that belongs to this type of heavy timber. You notice the weight the moment you pick it up.
The design: Model Aphrodite
Named after the goddess of beauty and love.
In terms of weight distribution, the Aphrodite sits exactly between the Athena and the Artemis. She is the most “all-round” of the three. In this Caribbean Rosewood edition, that means a spindle that reacts steadily and predictably to your touch, but with the impact of a heavyweight.
