  1. Upgrading blade and what it means to be able to control

    Isn't golden tango similar to boosted chinese rubber? it's a new sheet so i will stick with it and learn the technique, i chose to play with tacky rubber anyway. On the coach, my current coach is not a tacky rubber coach, he only plays with tenergy and rakza7, but due to schedule conflicts i...
  2. Upgrading blade and what it means to be able to control

    few more sessions under the belt, i am getting used to the new racket, just may be tacky rubber on slower blade feel weird at first appreciate to all for convincing me about the choice. I got a question regarding the choice a beginner can make though, since there are way too many options and...
  3. Upgrading blade and what it means to be able to control

    update: Got myself a Donic Persson Power Allround blade, rubber is the already bought golden tango (FH) and golden tango ps (BH) first impression: may be the rubber is still advanced rubber, but the whole thing is slow, noticeably slower that what i had previously, but i have more confidence to...
  4. New Xiom Novus blades (Redesigned)

    Hi @yogi_bear, is the new Allround S handle hollow? is it head heavy when putting on 2.0 rubber in general? Thanks
  5. Upgrading blade and what it means to be able to control

    @Kuba Hajto: i will go slower with 5wood all+ blade, there seem to have upside and almost no downside. Does limba outer layer need to be sealed? or does it vary depending on blades? and any significant difference between limba-limba vs limba-ayous or limba-spruce or limba-abachi? or not much...
  6. Upgrading blade and what it means to be able to control

    I totally agree with this point, and that is what i like about the PG7, it has very good feedback and i can tell exactly where i hit the ball and when i contact the ball really badly, but not really when it's good or half good. It has a bit too much vibration and uncomfortable handle though...
  7. Upgrading blade and what it means to be able to control

    Yeah this is a problem, as a beginner i just went to revspin, see the most popular blade that is not too expensive (PG7) then buy. then may be it's not that good because pro are not using it, then Vis or Innerforce it is, but those are too expensive they require second opinion from someone who...
  8. Upgrading blade and what it means to be able to control

    Don't get me wrong, i am not dismissive or going to blame you for not the right bat. as for video, i have to figure something out, due to covid situation it's not easy to get venues to play, and the current one has strict no video policy. I dig up my distance memory and i remember having a go...
  9. Upgrading blade and what it means to be able to control

    hmm, i think the only thing i like about PG7 is the feedback when striking the ball, very obvious where i hit, although vibration can be a bit too much sometimes. Speedwise, no comment really, as i don't see much different unless i compare with the super speed Sardius T64. at my local shop...
  10. Upgrading blade and what it means to be able to control

    hi @Carl, While i agree with pretty much what you said, i have to disagree on the shoe size analogy. As a runner, for me the equivalent analogy of asking for blade recommendation would be a beginner runner asking for shoes recommendation. Is the person totally new to running? is the person...
  11. Upgrading blade and what it means to be able to control

    What has change with the new ball though? Also, may i ask, even without seeing one plays, could you share some general scenarios situation where these blades are not the best option? understanding this is specific to person and technique and skill, but at least some example may be?
  12. Upgrading blade and what it means to be able to control

    Thank you all, bit hard to reply to individual response so here is the consolidated one Carl hits the nail on its head pretty much. I still have to consciously correct my stroke on every hit, and i observe myself sometimes compromise on stroke motion and power because of fear of overhitting...
  13. Upgrading blade and what it means to be able to control

    Hi Carl and to other as well, this part I totally agree with you, as i also don't like the feel of TB ALC, i cannot tell where i hit the ball on my blade at all, and i guess as you mentioned, TB ALC is stiffer and harder, hence my hit is more consistent despite being sub-optimal. That's why i...
  14. Upgrading blade and what it means to be able to control

    Hi Carl, I understand what you mean. The venue i play has no video policy and the coach certainly doesn't want to breach that. i will have to see what i can come up with. Anyway, what do you look for in the video though? techniques? execution of each stroke? I also want to understand more how...
