  1. Hybrid rubbers how close to Tacky Chinese or Grippy ESN spring sponge?

    Nittaku with Hammond Z2, and soon Hammond Z6 and Z8 I guess. Sieger PK50 to compete with hybrid rubbers. Yasaka with Rakza Z to compete with the latest hybrid rubber from ESN.
  2. Stiga DNA Dragon Grip

    Why do you want to replace your Battle 2 ?
  3. Unforgiving backhand rubber

    Xiom Omega 7 Hyper. Very fast and spinny, medium throw angle, unforgiving meaning you have to commit to every shot otherwise the ball will smack the floor or the net will catch it. 55° sponge ESN but feels like a chinese rubber
  4. Xiom Tau II

    I forgot to tell you, but the Falco booster doesn't soften the sponge or just a little bit. Biggest difference was how easy it was to do a counterspin after the boost. By far the best rubber for counterspin I have tested.
  5. Xiom Tau II

    I have tested it with 1 layer of Falco Tempo Platinium. Sponge was very reactive. It became a lot bouncier. Still controlable in the short game, but a bit less than before.
  6. new equipment for 2022/23

    I'm pretty sure Joola high quality blades are made in the same factory as Xiom blades. Looks exactly the same, just the handle color is different.
  7. Xiom Jekyll & Hyde Rubbers

    Any news on the Xiom J&H C60 ?
  8. Andro rasanter c series

    Rasanter R= rotation Rasanter V= velocity Rasanter C= counterspin
  9. New Xiom Jekyll and Hyde Rubbers

    Xiom J&H C60. Not sure when they will release it, it's not even on the ittf approved equipment list at the moment.
  10. Why I can't edit my personal equipment setup ?

    Nevermind, you need to go in "general settings" then "edit personal details" and it works perfectly. If you click on your avatar and go directly to "personal details", it doesn't work. Problem solved ! 😆
  11. Why I can't edit my personal equipment setup ?

    Hello, This problem happens quite often for me, making editing nearly impossible. It just loads for hours and hours... Anyone encountered the same problem ? And yes my internet connection is fine, this isn't a internet issue.
  12. Rubber manufacturers

    Some japanese brands like Nittaku have ESN rubbers made in Germany (Fastarc series) and they have Made in Japan rubbers aswell (the New Hammond Z2, Do Knuckle and other pips out...)
  13. new equipment for 2022/23

    What's the meaning of this ? (Xiom catalog) Speed, spin and arc ?
  14. Donic Bluefire M1

    Never tested the M1, but when it happens, it's because you engaged the ball to lightly, it's a common problem with esn rubber. Try to engage the sponge more and not the topsheet only.
  15. Donic Bluefire M1

    Hi ! By any chance, did you test M1 Turbo aswell ?
  16. Set Up with Material like long Pips or so

    Hi there ! It seems you want to play at the table, so I'd suggest an 0x long pimple. You can try Thibar Grass d tecs, always a safe choice. For the blade, to increase spin reversal you need a hard blade like Dr.Neubauer Matador, OSP Immune Pushblocker...
  17. Best blades for 0x pips?

    Have you ever tried a Nittaku Goriki ? 7 plies of walnut, 4.9mm thick (ot 5.0mm thick if you use the Goriki Danshi), quite heavy (~105g). I'm playing with a frictionless anti so I need maximum spin reversal. And it is one of the best blade on the market if you need maximum spin reversal. But it...
  18. How do you prevent smelly shoes?

    You need to treat them well. Like high end 400$ leather dress shoes. First, buy a pair of shoe trees, in cedar. It's very important to choose cedar, because it is a wood which has antibacterial properties and absorbs a lot of humidity. You can find good one on amazon for ~25$. Whenever you are...
