No. You gotta find a club that wants to hire you. Simple as that.

I just saw Gauzy and Otto got over 170 rps, so 190 doesn't seem as extreme as I thought. (changed my previous message)

You mean the one where he gets like 190 rps on first try? Was that TTD or Pongfinity? Either way, I suspect it was a measuring error. I had one in that range that clearly was a wrong result.

To me the blade feels so unique that it's hard to describe and I wanted to wait and see if others feel the same. It almost doesn't feel like a carbon blade. The speed on touch and slow shots is super slow. I have better feeling than even my all-wood blades. I can feel the carbon kick in on hard...

Gonna have to wait til July if contra online shop availability is correct.

I'm pretty sure Felix Lebrun started with an all-wood blade and that would be the smart choice for any beginner.

I think the Donic Zhang Jike New Era blade. Joola Trinity if it's still produced (this one is from the same factory and uses same fibre as TMXi I believe).

Wow! That's quite a difference. Did you mostly play with older balls? I think I used a lot of relatively new ones.

Thanks for the info. Does yours really still look "fresh"? Here is a look at mine after about 5h of playing (freshly cleaned). That's why I was a bit suspicious of your claim. I'm used to hybrids looking like shit but still playing fine. So it's not a problem for me.

Alright, good to know. Sorry for the blunt question :) Let me ask some questions to get the information I am missing in your other posts. Which rubber(s) did you play exactly? 48 or 42? 2.1 or 1.9? Red or Black (this might explain our different experience with the fresh look)? On what blade did...

Do you have any affiliation with Andro? Your posts here seem a bit like advertisement to me. I played 3 times with this rubber and it looks at least as bad as other ESN hybrids, maybe even worse. You also don't really share your own impressions much and speak in generalities instead.

My frequency is also ~1300hz. So good consistency there. AJH TMXi Pro had more variance i believe. On the negative side, the finishing quality is not as superb as AJH TMXi Pro. Especially the handle. It is rougher and I had a wood fibre sticking out. The blade surface is also a bit rougher. I...

Awesome! My 87g arrives tommorrow. Hope it's the same frequency.

Have you played the XAXi yet or measures the frequency?

What's the weight if your XAXi? Can you measure frequency?

What new techniques did you learn after switching to slower equipment?

Is it supposed to mean that high on the vertical axis means more control and low means less control? And then left side of the horizontal mean more speed/less spin and right side of the horizontal mean less speed/more spin? It's very confusing. Maybe they planned on making it 3D but didn't...

Korea is 45°. The new blade will be sooo much faster. Slightly slower rubbers will still be a lot faster than your current setup.

Now that I know you are coming from 5 ply all wood, I would also suggest slightly slower rubbers on the much faster blade like vossi. I would go Vega Pro FH and Vega Korea BH. Blades still: 1) Chrome XAXi (if available), 2) Artemis ALXi (if available), 3) Hugo ALXi Pro, 4) Hugo TMXi Pro
