  1. New Xiom Blades Series: Hugo Calderano and Lee Seungsoo (TMX / ALX)

    this numbers are really close. but - if they are of similar speed, ok with me, ALX is speed wise still under control in my book, but if TMXi is as stiff as ALX, then this isn't really good, I prefer softer feel (regular TMXi like feel). so looking forward to TMXi impressions, as I was planning...
  2. New Xiom Blades Series: Hugo Calderano and Lee Seungsoo (TMX / ALX)

    mine is 86g. ;) again, what do these Hz numbers tell us? in this particular case - that TMXi is as hard as ALX? as fast as ALX? because ALX is way to hard for my game and was thinking of switching it with Hugo TMXi, but if Hugo TMXi is as hard then I did nothing ...
  3. Why every new xiom blade have larger headsize?

    i thought so, yes ... I mean, they seem to work hard. TMX material and Ice Cream are quite a products which need quite some R&D, I guess ... also rubbers ...
  4. Why every new xiom blade have larger headsize?

    so Xiom isn't active? not sure I understand you correctly, sorry ... 😁
  5. Why every new xiom blade have larger headsize?

    probably also related to the 40+ trend switch ... harder and stickier rubber, bigger blade = more powahh and more spin
  6. Post your latest EJ purchase

    well, during WTT in Ljubljana I got Tibhar MXP50 and Hurricane 9 Violet. after that I got Xiom Hugo ALX Pro, as it was nicely discounted on TT11, and finally got Rakza Z. love the MXP50 - a true bomber of a rubber, but a controlled one. Hurricane 9 Violet is nice, but the sponge crumbles really...
  7. New Xiom Blades Series: Hugo Calderano and Lee Seungsoo (TMX / ALX)

    so, after 6 extensive playing sessions with Hugo ALX we are a bit in a love & hate relationship. backhand in combination with Xiom Vega Pro is great. with Tibhar MXP50 was also quite good but a bit too fast. bit still playable. on forehand I started with Yasaka Rakza Z and Hurricane 9 Violet and...
  8. Butterfly Zyre 03

    I just hope Dignics series price will decrease to cca. 60€ point then … 🤞🏼
  9. Does Xiom still produce the Ice Cream AZXi blade?

    sorry to be reviving this thread or even hijacking it … I played with TMXi. loved it. got curious, and got Hugo ALX blade. and I realised that on forehand, I prefer a bit softer, tamed feeling of TMXi and on backhand, harsher, harder and more direct feel of ALX. would AZXi help me get these two...
  10. New Xiom Blades Series: Hugo Calderano and Lee Seungsoo (TMX / ALX)

    I took this pic during the WTT Ljubljana Star Contender ... I tried to pull as much detail out of the photo as possible, but it is clearly visible, that layers are just as in the regular hal. maybe thickness of layers isn't the same but point being, as there were quite some discussions about...
  11. Wang Yang bad discipline, got fired from the USA Smash 2025

    was umpire fired from the competition, too? if she would do a fair job, WY wouldn’t lose it. c’mon it’s bh serve, practically impossible to do an illegal serve on bh!!
  12. Any blades still in production similar to Xiom Hugo HAL or Butterfly Moonbeam?

    so they say. importer in Slovenia told me he is going to get some as well ...
  13. Rubber advice needed

    I would suggest an inner carbon blade (Harimoto ALC, ML5, TMXi) - they are powerful blades, yes, but not extremely fast, with a lot, and I mean a lot of feel and control. FH, I would go with Hurricane 8-80 - don't be affraid, it is the best of both worlds, honestly. if it is still too much for...
  14. Fear of rallying solution

    I have a nice exercise for you - with your practice partner, during warm up stages, go for nice and easy mid distance loop to loop exchanges. start with forehand diagonal. when you feel comfortable (next session or next week, when it suits you), add backhand diagonal. when you feel comfortable...
  15. New Xiom Blades Series: Hugo Calderano and Lee Seungsoo (TMX / ALX)

    sorry, there must be some kind of language barrier between us, I am not provoking, not at all, I just want to understand what you mean. 😀 at least in regards to handle and wings - because I have no idea how handle and wings would affect playability. the shape of the head (bigger head) and...
  16. New Xiom Blades Series: Hugo Calderano and Lee Seungsoo (TMX / ALX)

    well, to be completely honest ... I don't exactly know, what do you mean, too ... what has handle, with wings, to do with reworked gluing, high throw and inner and outer construction?
  17. New Xiom Blades Series: Hugo Calderano and Lee Seungsoo (TMX / ALX)

    yeah, I have it on my back up blade (well, now it is a back up back up blade, I guess) and was planning to put it on for next week, today I will be re-evaluating the blade with Rakza Z ... Vega Pro H was amazing and my go to rubber on TMXi and will try it with ALX, too, definitely.
  18. New Xiom Blades Series: Hugo Calderano and Lee Seungsoo (TMX / ALX)

    already the regular TMXi has quite thin external layers, at least in comparison to other inner blades ...
  19. Substitution for Stiga Radical

    I am doing a research for my team-mate, who is currently playing with Stiga Radical, which is not available anymore - which short-pip rubber would be a good substitute for this rubber? Stiga has Symmetry now, but I have no idea, if this is just modernised Radical or something completely...
