Advise for better (and slower) set-up

DVM89 · Nov 25, 2018

Hi,
Currently, I'm playing with Stiga Infinity VPS diamond touch blade, with Tibhar evolution MX-P for FH and MX-S for BH.
I find this setup a bit fast for me, mainly for the FH side. I am an offensive player, intermediate level.

Not sure whether I need to replace only the rubbers for slower ones, or to change the all setup.
Thought about XIOM Omega V EURO both sides. For the blade, I need more ideas...

Thanks!

Try bats of mates when/where they let you... nothing like trying before buying.

You idea of going for a more control OFF rubber is good. There are hundreds in this class.

For Xiom… Vega Pro is center of mass in this class, but again, there are hundreds... each outfit makes a dozen.

Thanks.
I think that I need softer rubbers because before the Evo I had Butterfly Bryce and it was great for me. Therefore I chose EURO type from the XIOM series.

For the blade, I don't have many ideas, so I need assistance here...

4 legendary blades, select anyone and you won't regret:

1 - OSP Virtuoso Off - or +
2 - Tibhar Stratus Power Wood
3 - Butterfly Peter Korbel
4 - DHS Hurricane Hao II

Long lasting rubbers, select anyone thank me later

1 - Hexer Grip (hard)
2 - Victas V01 stiff (medium hard) or limber (medium soft)
3 - Yasaka Rigan (soft and slow, but forgiving)
4 - Omega IV Elite or Euro

So what is your thoughts about the combination of Tibhar Stratus Power Wood with Omega V EURO?
You recommended the IV version, but from what I've read the V is more successful version. Agree?

Stiga Azalea offensive or Xiom Offensive S would be good enough and they feel softer than the infinity vps.

Why do you think it is to fast? miss alot? no control? Also interesting in how you play, what are your playing style?

Have you tried Chinese rubbers with the Infinity? I have this blade and switched to reduce going long (it worked for me). It could be one of the cheaper solutions.

Try FastArc G1 on FH with EL-P on BH

G1 is a great rubber if you can loop with power

If too fast, get a slower blade. Playing with a slower blade will give you more feeling and control without sacrificing spin. Omega v Europe is fantastic though. More gears than other tensors I've tried and very grippy. All the blades suggested are offensive no?

It's a great set up you have. Need more info to recommend anything. What level do you play at? Intermediate isn't that useful, do you play any competitive? What is your style and how are you generally missing or finding errors?

Let me also add a cheap but very good blade which is the yinhe e3. It is an offensive classic clone.

For the simple fact that changing a rubber is cheaper than a blade, I would go for a more controllable FH rubber without losing too much power and spin. Try Tenergy05 with 1.9mm thickness. Tenergy 05 2.1mm is equivalent to MXP. But with 1.9mm sponge you get more feel and control without losing much power and spin at low to medium impact.
