1. I absolutely love table tennis and am an active (and constructive) member of these forums.
2. I would love to write an honest, detailed review. My experience with making a variety of unique blades would lend itself nicely to describing the blade's aesthetic properties, as well as feel in comparison to other blades and materials.
3. I am based in the US, and Fedex happily delivers here.
4. Below:


A. Years of playing table tennis.
- I've been playing seriously since 2005, so 13 years (but playing recreationally since childhood)

B. TT equipments that you have in your house (rubber and blades):

-Blades currently in my home: Butterfly Maze and Korbel, OSP Virtuoso+, and, 17 blades currently in my house that I've made out of common (i.e., Koto, Limba, Kiri, Balsa, etc) and unique materials (Cores: Western Red Cedar, Port Orford Cedar, Engelmann Spruce; Veneers: Western and European Larch, Douglas Fir, Lutz Spruce, etc). I've made more, but have given/sold some away.

Rubber Currently in my home: Mostly Xiom Pro, but also Xiom Europe, Nittaku Fastarc G-1, Tibhar MX-P, Butterfly Sriver EL and Sriver G3, Tenergy 05, DHS Hurricane 3, Palio AK47 Yellow/Red, and Yasaka Mark V and Rakza 7.

C. Age Group (10~20, 21~30, 31~40, 41~50, 50+)
-Young 30s

D. Level of table tennis you are playing at:
-USATT approximately 1600 (I was USATT 1550 last time I played in a rated USATT tournament in 2006), and currently playing 3x a week. Admittedly weaker serves and game sense, but strong FH and BH loops/flicks/drives.

This is very cool of you, Hills4ever.

Hi,

I would love to have an opportunity to try the new blade from Xiom. I have reviewed some products; you can check them under my profile.

A. I have been playing table tennis for almost two years and have had some informal coaching.
B. In terms of blades, I have tried and possess the following - Xiom Zeta Offensive, Joola Rosssi Emotion, Sanwei F3 Pro, Andro Treiber Z, DHS Hurricane 301, Cornilleau Gauzy Quest Off, Gewo Balsa 575, Yasaka Sweden Extra.

I have new Stiga Mantra, Aurus Select, Hexer Grip sheets with me.
C. Age group - 31-40
D. I take part in local corporate events. We don't have a formal ranking system in place.
 
Wow, I'd love to be given the opportunity to test and review this blade!
As a table tennis lover, this blade is very intriguing because I've never tried a blade with different composition between backhand and forehand.
If I get to review this blade, I'll write a long-detailed review for each aspect and maybe record videos too.

A. Years of playing table tennis.
I started playing table tennis at the age of 14 or 15, so that's 10 years

B. TT equipments that you have in your house (rubber and blades)
I'm not rich, so I sold previous equipments I used, but so far I've owned
Blade: DHS PG7, STIGA Clipper CR, and now I'm using Bty Viscaria
Rubbers: Forehand: DHS Neo Hurricane 3 Provincial Orange Sponge, DHS Neo Hurricane 3 Provincial Blue Sponge, DHS Hurricane 3 Provincial Orange Sponge, 729 Battle 2 Provincial Orange Sponge
Backhand: Andro Rasanter R47, Andro Rasanter R42, Donic Baraccuda, Donic Acuda S1, STIGA Boost TC, Palio AK47 Red.

C. Age Group
21-30

D. Level of table tennis you are playing at
I can execute various shots (serve, push, loop, drive) with good consistency, my weakeness is my bad footwork.
Judging from some videos, maybe I'm around 1800-2100 USATT I guess.

Hills4ever, that's very cool of you and I would like to participate.

1. Been playing TT for over 30 years with over 20 years in regional leagues. And at 44 years still enjoy playing 2 times a week. I have an above average stress-level daily job and playing TT is great for putting my mind on something else besides work.

2. I'm always honest....and this is what sometimes bites me back ;)

3. I'm from The Netherlands and yes, Fedex does deliver in my country

4A. Over 30 years of experience of which over 20 year in leagues

4B. Too much to list it all, as I enjoy trying out new products. Currently own multiple Stiga blades (Emerald, Infinity, Carbonado, Celero), Yasaka (YEO, Ma Lin, Ma lin soft carbon, Sweden extra), Butterfly (Maze, Boll ALC, Freitas ALC) and serveral othes like Joola Rosskopf Emotion, Joola Aruna Off and more. Rubbers just too much to list :)

4C. 41 - 50

4D. Above average I would say. Playing in the highest regional league in my country.


Good luck in assigning the testers. Looking forward to read the reviews as I'm very curious about the hybrid construction.
