Looks like they're on sale on this site https://www.customtabletennis.co.uk/product/xiom-vega-pro-h-hybrid-table-tennis-rubber/

Hi all. I upgraded to a new bat/rubber set up this season with Xiom Offensive S blade, Xiom Vega Europe DF on BH and Xiom Vega Pro on FH. I've got on really well with this and it was an incremental step up from my last blade & rubbers. I'm really enjoying the BH in particular and will likely...

I bought a new blade in January with xiom vega euro DF (red) and xiom vega pro (black) rubbers. I noticed this week that the Vega Pro rubber is breaking off at the edges. I first noticed in during a match and assumed that I'd clipped the rubber on the table (don't remember doing that) but when...

I get on really well with the Xiom Offensive S Blade and it sounds like it would suit your needs too. The Xiom Vega rubbers could also help, lots of different types and I certainly don't know the range well enough but for me the Vega Euro DF on backhand is great, as is Vega Pro on forehand

This is absolutely on topic. All these are techniques that can help OP before or during a match.

I can share what works for me as this has been a common theme for me, I play a lot of tennis too and tbh it happens more in tennis as I play at a higher level and put more pressure on myself. But a few things for me: - Warm up for longer than you usually do, if time allows hit for 20-30mins...

Really well, thank you for asking. It took a few sessions to adjust completely, partly a new set up and also having different rubbers on each side was a first for me. At the beginning I felt like I couldn't generate as much spin on serves but that's fine now. The Euro DF on the backhand is...

I'll speak from my personal experience, and that isn't much, just two seasons in a league, but I like to think I'm progressing quickly in that time - last year win 56% was , this year 87% and hopefully a league promotion to top division next year. I've put a lot of focus on my development and on...

Thanks, that's a really nice way to visualise it. I'm on a really steep learning curve at the moment, I used to play TT as a kid but stopped when I was about 18, never played in a league until I joined a club last year. Had an ok 1st season in our area's 1st division and this year finished 3rd...

exactly - the bat was Custom Table Tennis Classic Offensive - not Stiga Offensive Classic

I just saw a tutorial on YouTube that featured a Spin Trainer, mainly for demonstration purposes. A TT ball on a spindle attached to some form of bendy pole allowing you to practice brushing the ball in different ways. https://tinyurl.com/yfh3536m Has anyone got experience using one of these...

Very therapeutic to watch as well

I've been wearing Vivos for about 7 years now, once you get used to them you'll never go back. Only thing I use "normal" shoes for is tennis and running.

I tried it in practice, key was to start slow and get the timing. I found it really hard and reckon I must only have a 15-20% success in getting it in. Only tried it in a few times in a match when I was up with a big enough lead to test it out, I did win the point in the match but I think it was...

I managed to find another thread on here that suggested similar. Some people found that it was bobbling a bit like this if the bat was put in it's case (especially a certain cases that aren't breathable) when the rubber had moisture on it. I've had the bat out of it's case all day today and it's...

It's the aesthetics, some people will be ok with it and some people won't. I try to keep my rubbers looking like new and I don't like the fact that I've paid £100 for a bat that's spotty

The glueing was done by Dandoy Sports. Is it normal in this instance that the lumps would only appear after a few weeks?

I recently bought my first custom blade/rubber set up and had a lot of advice on here with my set up - so thanks to anyone who offered up advice. On my backhand side I have the Xiom Vega Europe DF. I've played 5 or so times with the bat since getting it. I am very careful to look after the...

I had a backhand lesson for 2hours before xmas and it was invaluable. I had it with someone I follow on youtube and really like the way they teach, but it's one thing watching their videos and another thing actually having a lesson. Whilst the videos tell you the theory, the lesson helped me...

You hit the nail on the head with this. Your advice and the other tips in this thread were invaluable and I pretty much managed to get all his serves back. It turned out to not even look like a traditional wiper serve and he had all sorts of strange serves. You were right though, I was so...
