  1. Xiom new collection (2025)

    Looks like new Hugo TMX blades are finally coming soon
  2. My handle smells bad! HELP 🤢

    You don't have to sweat a lot to have bad body odor and you might just be anosmic to your own smell. Do you have wet earwax? It's a marker of whether you have the ABCC11 gene which is linked to bad body odor. Most east asians do not have this gene and thus have dry earwax and don't really have...
  3. What do your rubbers look like when you feel they need to be replaced?

    I'm playing with D09C about 10-20 hrs/week. I can start seeing pimples showing on the forehand side where I hit and my balls are starting to overshoot the net. Still has grip but definitely the stickiness is gone
  4. What do your rubbers look like when you feel they need to be replaced?

    Trying to get a better sense of when my rubbers might need to be replaced. I feel like I’m losing grip but they’ve only been used for 2-3 months. And in this economy, don’t feel like spending more money than necessary. Can people post what their rubbers look like when they need to be replaced?
  5. DONIC New Zhang Jike blade

    Glad they actually listened to feedback and got rid of the unnecessary dragon
  6. Xiom Omega 8?

    D80 doesn’t feel that hard bc the top sheet is very soft. It’s extremely fast but you get the control bc ball goes into sponge easily. D05 feels much harder and harder to control while being slower. o8p is about the speed of d05, but the responsiveness on d80 if that makes sense
  7. Xiom Omega 8?

    Another setup I highly highly recommend is ZQH90 with O8C on FH and o8p on BH. It feels very fast but super controlled in a weird way. The SALC in this blade is not like the SALC in the viscaria SALC. It doesn’t project as far, but still retains the speed so your balls don’t end up off the...
  8. Lily Zhang's current equipment?

    Not sure of the rubbers but I think she’s using the Nobilis PBO. She used to the the vyzaryz trinity but switched back a year or two ago.
  9. Xiom Omega 8?

    For sure. I previously tried C55 and H8-80 on this blade but it was too heavy and mushy for a lack of a better term. It ended up being around 199g setup (blade was 91g). I felt afraid to hit hard to activate the carbon because it felt like it would just send it flying. O8C gives a clear crisp...
  10. Xiom Omega 8?

    O8C on hurricane acb is a pretty good match. I can easily hit through to the carbon and you don’t get that springiness of tenergy close to the table. It feels very similar to viscaria + d09c in terms of feeling for me.
  11. Xiom Omega 8?

    It feels really good. Easier to use than W968 but you lose some of the monster spin quality. I use o8c on FH and o8p on BH. I used to use boosted H3N BS on FH and O7P on BH on the TMXi Pri but it felt too heavy for me (197g) and I couldn’t get the proper BH loops some of the time. Changing to...
  12. Xiom Omega 8?

    Between D05 and D80
  13. Xiom Omega 8?

    Got 6 omega 8 chinas and 6 omega 8 pros, that's how much I like these rubbers for the price/performance ratio. At TT11, it's only about $40 a sheet, which is 33% cheaper than D09C. Omega 8 pro is replacing D80 for me. Omega 8 China plays about 90% of D09C (C55 is about 95% of D09C), not as...
  14. DONIC New Zhang Jike blade

    This design looks horrible and dated. Why the dragon? Seems to be playing to stereotypes with no real reason to be there? I can understand Ma Long's blade having a dragon because Long = dragon, but ZJK? Donic needs to hire better graphic artists especially if they want to simply rebrand a blade...
  15. Butterfly 2025 New Blades: Outer Force ALC, CAF, ZLC

    Just get a Joola ZQH45
  16. What are the best scissors to cut rubber?

    Just get the sharpest ones you can. Ideally smaller size for closer cuts. I actually use Shun Kitchen Shears (expensive but worth it) and they work really well.
  17. Lin Yun Ju ALC

    Probably gonna be super expensive since it seems like a limited product
  18. Stiga Surge Hybrid Carbon

    I'm sure it'll be on Prott
