vega pro H was a really nice rubber with a lot more spin then any rubber in the vega series, but yes it was rather unresponsive. if you have a fast blade then it could fit

not only speed, the whole style this blade behaves is different and you would need to change your whole technique and that would make no sense if you didn't want to have this change or a coach told you that. so better stay with the blade and feeling you are used to and just change to lighter...

why not buy the alxi again? it is still available everywhere and is an amazing blade. viscaria requires a totally different playing style compared to your blade and is not for beginners. if it is too head heavy you could change to lighter rubbers like omega 7 euro or pro on both sides.

aurus soft is a really good and extremely spinny medium soft rubber that is easy to control. omega 7 euro is also a great and super fast but lacks a bit of spin compared to aurus soft. fx-s same as aurus soft but a bit more spin and speed and less control. quantum x pro is only really good if...

heavier pieces always tend to feel better to most players no matter what blade. but it is always a compromise of how agile you wanna be and how much hardness, speed and bounce you can control. heavier blades of the same model are harder, stiffer faster and this does not result in better play...

i played with omega 5 euro on my backhand for a long time and the difference between max and 2,0 was basically non existent... i think the pimples are so long that max is already around 2,0. the pimples of omega 8 pro are shorter, so more room for sponge and max will be something like 2,2

i mean depends on what you want to train. if you train footwork then you concentrate on your feet not on power and vice versa. but what has that to do with the age of your practice partners? and if you can only play max 3 of the slow shots already, then they are maybe still too fast for you. i...

exactly! get your foundation right first, then the rest will come on the way. don't overcomplicate it and try those three things (relaxation for transfering power from the hip, wider stance, weight transfer) and this will be enough to make a lot of progress already. someone on this forum send a...

don't need to focus on that, just have a wider stance, a loser arm and do the right weight transfer. here is a video of tomislav pucar, that is the same height as you and maybe it helps for reference of how wide you need to stand

i would second that and add that you round your shoulders to compensate maybe for your height and then your stroke is compromised. you should definitely work on your stance, really important!

you can try to be a bit more relaxed. i think your roboticness comes from beeing to tense. first thing: try to let your arm and hand be loose and let the movement start from your hip. your arm should follow your hip naturally and this creates the swing. the only moment you tense up is in the...

that is right, vega pro is sometimes only 29€ here in germany and last a long time, so definitely a great deal and sometimes even better then stuff from aliexpress. but vega x and ventus extra are also doesn’t cost much more and is holding on just fine with ventus extra beeing close to famous...

something that people forgot to write here, is that the newer generation models having a better feeling, are easier to activate and easier to play for their respective speed. let‘s make this more clear in the way of showing the 3 most famous older esn tensor: donic barracuda, nittaku g-1 and...

definitly the rubber is a factor too, but i would argue that the blade plays the biggest factor in perceived speed and according to the measurements of ttgearlab that is what we feel when we talk about dwell. the actual dwell of the ball on a bat including rubbers is basically non existing and...

someone in this forum send me this website: https://ttgearlab.com/ and it pretty much explains the feeling of dwell/hold that also matches my own experience with blades. it basically says that if the speed with slow strokes not accelerates with hard strokes, then the blades gives the feeling of...

maybe i have old information, in the catalog of 2024 the omega 8 hybrid was declared as 50 degree

thanks for the recommendations, i will look into that! are they like modern dynamic rubbers?

as i wrote, the hybrid is 50 degree and semi-tacky/super grippy and the china is 52.5 and tacky/semi-tacky. maybe they have a different pimple structure and i can imagine the hybrid is more high throw, while china beeing medium throw, but who knows? we need to wait till omega 8 hybrid comes out…

vega asia DF is a normal grippy tensor rubber that is really soft around 42 degree. far away from the china guang that comes at 55 degree. xiom is not super specific about the names like euro, pro, asia and so on. it is more about a playing style then actual hardness or categories like that. so...

maybe it wasn’t the right term because english is not my first language, but i like rubber with a lot of dynamic and katapult on my backhand, but i don‘t like it when the catapult starts to early like on short touches or serves. that is known for tenergy05 and several other rubbers. vega x, vega...
