Thanks for the tip! I have some gentle clamps (with rubber on ends) and I will use blocks to protect the handles!

I used PVA. Shall I stick it back in the clamps for 24 hours?

Now this is the blade to end all EJing!!

Well that is that!! Feels great!

I have decided to take the handles of a fextra (which I love) and glue them on instead. The MDF was going to add about 20g and that is nuts. Even Der-Ecte might find that too much!! We will see how it feels. Thanks for the input. The Solo is fantastic and right in my ball park, but the...

I measured the fextra and force pro and they were 22mm and 20mm in height, the Xiom Solo is only 18mm in height, therefore my thought were 2mm each side. If it seems to fat I can always sand it a touch. I think I hold the bat looser when the handle is bigger. Do you think MDF will be ok to...

Heat Gun, great shout. Look how clean this handle has come off? 2mm MDF, one piece each side.

Yes I think this would be the best solution!!

Thanks Der, when you say slowly? How slowly? Presumably the heat breaks the bond from the glue? Just been through all ten pages and found the answer!! I dont want a beast mod, just want a fatter handle on the solo, what do you think about taking handle off, adding a play same size as handle...

What sort of heat did you use? I want to put bigger handles on my Xiom Solo?

FANTASTIC HEREFORD 1 STAR SENIOR TOURNAMENT TODAY. Bubbles of 6 groups based on ranking, all very competitive and enjoyable!!

It is disgusting and disrespectful to give a mercy point to another adult player. It is patronizing beyond belief. I have beaten a player 11-0 in first set then lost 3-1 in match, it means nothing really. Don't do it to kids (beginners) or your granny, but do not give a point, just play a bit...

Maybe if I gain confidence from using pips, and improve on some of the many things I need too. Maybe some day I will use inverted again on backhand, but even then I would go for Chinese rubber or defensive rubber probably for the control it gives a player.

It is not just serve return! If I play those shots with inverted they all come back, every one is used to that. The shots I play with MP are harder for me to play but they are more rewarding when I play them well. I know it does not look that way, but in last 18 months since my switch to...

The only points I lost with my bh that are not in this clip are bh pushes to serves which got whacked past me with third ball winners. And the only other points I lost did not involve my bh. But Zyu if I use an inverted and play a good bh loop, topspin drive I am then the same player as...

Looking at some of my older videos, this stepping back thing is quite a recent thing, I am quite sure it is a reaction to trying to control a more repulsive blade. I am going to remedy this by going back to the Xiom Solo initially, and if this does not remedy the issue I will go back to the...

Thanks!!

I think this is because I was trying to use a faster bat with lower arc and did not trust myself closer in. I don't normally do this, it was strange.

Hmm, I could try I always fear with long serves they will kill it past me. But I could try!!

Come and play at Hereford next weekend. Bubbles of 6, just about as safe as you can get!!
