seems like the rumours were right

hugo is definitely not using his HAL anymore.
it seems like he still uses C55 though

He is wearing Xiom shirts though. The easiest thing to change is still unchanged.

Look like DHS right ? Inner blade with a carbon fiber, and a large outer ply

If it’s DHS then the table tennis tables that he has for his new table tennis place CalderanoTM most likely he got them for free cause of the DHS sponsorship.

Tieba users: Tibhar or even Joola?

Andro also makes sense, Bruna takahashi and Simon Gauzy are sponsored by Andro and Hugo is very closed to them.

I still hope this is Butterfly.

The blade looks like Synteliac VCI OFF

Imagine if this is all driven by testing your girlfriend's equipment and liking it and wanting to play with it... would be a first in table tennis in my memory lol...

If XIOM loses Hugo to Joola, it’s time to close down the business 🤣

That's only because it would take any new brand at least 9-12 business months to supply him with enough shirts to cover his single tournament needs.

Looks a bit uncanny. If table tennis had top level players that looked like that, we'd be getting that Fashion show money pouring in.

yes, the carbon layer looks a bit like Glassfiber, maybe an upgrade from King 3 ? If so I'm buyinggggg

Feel sorry to those people who recently bought the Xiom Hal blade.

Still a great blade. Might be a collectible even.

quite clever that they cashed in last minute, when the blade came out again recently hugo's departure from xiom must have been already decided.

The blade still plays great, even though he's leaving XIOM.

Don't be. It's still an amazing blade and i would buy it again in a heartbeat. I wish Hugo goes to Butterfly and Butterfly releases their version of the HAL.

They did release other blades with his name pretty much at the same time though.

yes. but at that point they must have already known that the contract with hugo was not going to be extended.

Just watched his match vs Felix. He played so poorly with prototype blade. He was tentative, less power less aggressive much less confidence.
Hugo dismantled Felix last time they pleyed. And Hugo was unusually quiet.
