  3. First Time Penholder: Help me out!

    Hi Friends, I ordered a penhold blade because I want to try it out and want to explore Table Tennis from a new perspective. It is mainly for fun. I love my current Shakehand Setup (Xiom AJH TMXi Pro with H3N BS), so i got myself a similar penhold blade that is cheap (Yinhe Pro 05). The first...
  4. New Xiom Blades Series: Hugo Calderano and Lee Seungsoo (TMX / ALX)

    Thank you for your post. You are right, Xiom Global says that the blades are being manufactured in Korea. And, Xiom Korea now also says that the blades are being manufactured in Korea. Previously, their website stated that it was Germany. I assume they copy pasted it there since their rubbers...
  5. New Xiom Blades Series: Hugo Calderano and Lee Seungsoo (TMX / ALX)

    Hi Arkady, thanks for your message, but you didnt understand me correctly. I was referring to the thickness of the wood layers, not to the overall thickness. The AJH pro version's core is about 10% thinner, while the veneer between fiber and outer veneer has been reinforced in comparison to...
  6. New Xiom Blades Series: Hugo Calderano and Lee Seungsoo (TMX / ALX)

    1. Calderano TMXi PRO and AJH TMXi Pro will most certainly be different. The weight is totally different and same for the headsize which is different too. Even AJH TMXi and AJH TMXi Pro had major differences (same composition but the thickness of the wood layers was different, which changes the...
  7. Harimoto Innerforce Super ALC

    I was able to try this blade out very briefly , with skyline provincial bluesponge on FH the setup was very spinny with a nice and stable arc. the shot feeling was very comfortable, no strange vibrations or metallic alc feeling coming through. with skyline, it was definitely not too fast or...

  9. Patrick Franziska not using signature Blade

    my friend saw franziska play in the bundesliga about a month ago he made pictures and noted the same (franz using viscaria handle) to make it even more interesting, franz was switching between viscaria and PF zlc handle inbetween the doubles and singles matches
  10. New Xiom Blades Series: Hugo Calderano and Lee Seungsoo (TMX / ALX)

    Xiom has released a new series of blades. For now, 3 Blades are coming out, and its possible to pre-purchase them on XIOM Korea's website. The most outstanding thing to me is that they are all very light blades. EDIT: The Country of Manufacture is Korea. Previously, Xiom Korea wrote on their...
  11. Boosting

    why dont u recommend boosting the 37 degree? I recently tried a 37 degree OS on my friends setup (AJH TMXi PRO) He used a very thin layer and the rubber was still too slow for my liking on BH. Needed another layer to come alive I assume
  12. Butterfly 2025 New Blades: Outer Force ALC, CAF, ZLC

    new review on the outerforce alc:
  13. Xiom Omega 8?

    Just wanna say one thing if I may, o7p is really not a bouncy rubber. In fact it is very balanced. If you are coming from a h3 or something similar, o7p is bouncy. If you are coming from Vega X, the differences are not huge. At this point it will be much better to work on technique. Personally...
  14. Xiom Omega 8?

    can you share some expressions on how you like both o8 rubbers on the tmxi pro? thank you!
  15. Xiom new collection (2025)

    Pro version does not only differ in headsize in comparison with regular tmx (160×152 vs 158×152). The pro version core veneer is about 10% thinner, while the veneer between fiber and outer veneer has been reinforced. I played with w968 twice this week (2016 version). The AJH Pro version feels...
  16. Blade Lacquering Service

    TT11 does an excellent job when it comes to sealing blades. The layer is very thin and barely visible, but it protects your blade from splintering when changing your rubbers. I would also recommend it
  17. Xiom new collection (2025)

    I dont understand their metrics at all, and to be honest it doesn't seem to make any sense. Let's take a closer look: Omega 7 Pro - Spin 5.4 Vega X - Spin 5.4 Vega Japan - Spin 6.0 Omega 5 Tour - Spin 7.7 J&H C55 - Spin 7.7 Vega Korea - Spin 6.4 J&H Z52.5 - Spin 6.0 The Omega 7 Pro, which...
  18. Xiom Omega 8?

    thanks for you impressions. can you also review the omega 8 pro and possibly compare it with other rubbers in that hardness category? Im still using omega 7 pro and want to know if o8 is a worthy upgrade
  19. Best alternatives to Dignics 09C?

    K3, J&H C55, Boosted H3 Neo If you care about durability, start boosting h3 or keep using d09c
  20. Impressions from my club: How badly do you want to win?

    Let me share a recent story from my club with you. I am curious what you all think about it. I am playing in a team and the season is almost over. Our standing is good so it looks like we will climb up a division if we keep up our performance, but its gonna be close. Purely by chance, a really...
