dont bother in his mind we are amateurs who perform every shot in the worst possible way while the opponent is at least a semi-pro. in that scenario whatever shot you select its gonna get killed easily immediately I totally agree that long push generally is better than short push on amateur...

Isn‘t Ayous rather uncommon as an outer layer?

I highly recommend to go for the pro version, its one of a kind

yes, it has been discontinued

According to Butterfly‘s R&D Team (feb. 2025), the OuterALC is lighter than Freitas ALC despite being thicker. OuterALC: 6.2mm thickness, 86g avg weight Freitas: 6.0mm thickness, 89g avg weight So the structure must be different? what could they have changed?

I agree that long push is way better then short push on amateur level. but you make it sound like short push is horrible. for us the short push is hard to execute but for them its an easy ball to push back? if the short push is well executed and you rob the ball its momentum, many players will...

oh, then I wonder why they didnt keep TMXi pro with large headsize aswell :(

It is most likely not koto. If you look at the 4 Hugo and 2 LSS blades, they all look like having the same outer ply. That is likely because its a catalogue. imo, it is extremely unlikely that both inner-carbon style blades (new tmxi pro and alxi pro) are both koto outer ply. And, I am fairly...

Have some mixed feeling about the 2025 catalogue. First of all, I have been a fan of Xiom for a few years now. They made great blades that were on par with quality made in Japan, such as Hugo HAL or ALX 36.5. And there has been always something special about them, like the HAL which does not use...

and how do you like it on FH compared to h3 BS?

You keep saying good stuff about the vega china. maybe the time has come where I have to try that rubber out. But, whenever I try out anything (mostly rackets of clubmates), nothing comes close to h3 blue sponge. I am not talking about the spin or anything, just about the hitting feeling. I am...

I believe the Omega 8 China is 52.5 degrees. I am also curious about the durabiliy of the Omega 8 Series. Considering their advertisement, it can be assumed that the O8 China will play somewhat similar to the C55. C55 is very spinny but durability is just average

has anyone tried xiom ft igre shoes? are they wide ?

any instructional videos on how to push like that? my pushing game is not bad but not outstanding, and thats kind of what holds me back from using d05. I‘d love to use it again for durability reasons though, my omega 7 pro is cooked after about 3 months of usage

I can heavily recommend the ajh tmxi pro. sure ajh himself switched to w968 but can you find yourself a player version w968? tmxi pro is the most linear blade I ever used. its so controllable , and fast when you give sufficient power. it has great dwell, and the backhand is amazing. the handle...

g1 has less catapult, and is much easier to control, especially in shortgame. its more like tenergy 05 d05 is alot faster and also spinnier. also much more bouncy, the catapult kicks in early. hard to control in passive play, need active strokes all the time. g1 is more forgiving by a lot both...

For anyone interested in durability, this is my omega 7 pro after 2 1/2 months of usage on backhand side. I play around 8 hours per week it looks cooked but still spins well, totally playable. nonetheless, its time to replace it. Will probably need like 4 sheets per year, not great but not bad...

You could be in luck. Vega China + , possibly a new version of the Vega China, has been added to LARC a while ago. Tau 3, C52.5 and C57.5 have also been added to LARC. I actually never tried Vega China. How is it compared to H3 BS? Can you comment on durability too?

I havent tried either, but ttgearlab has measured both blades frequencies. I suggest you to check his website out. Hayabusa is quite a bit faster https://ttgearlab.com/2024/06/23/xiom-hayabusa-off-pro-photos-information/

Really? I have used my H3 BS for about 3 months now, 3-4 times a week. It still grips the ball perfectly fine Whenever I try euro/jap rubbers on someone else‘s blade, the thin angles dont work anymore. Recently I had the opportunity to try out a brand new omega 7 china guang and it gripped...
