I agree. If you like T05 hard and your rubber is worn out, you have to try zyre,. Do what it takes, sell your daughter, mow lawns or get a paper route. Whatever it takes.
Nothing could screw up the feeling worse than putting a rol of tape all over the handle, which is what i have to do now to play it. I might wait till the limba starts perling off to get the confidence to try this.
I remember trying to email some blademakers recommended here about rehabdling...
I might try to have one rehandled. Or pull off the handles and glue 1mm thick balsa veneers in between the blade and handles on each side to fatten it up. I cant stand tape.
I expect Hugo to play shittier on a new set up. I know I normally do, but people will overreact to this like they did to Fan Zhendong losing a few matches in Germany. Hugo will be fine.
If i hit with as much rotation as hugo, i'd rather be playing on DHS tables, too. Hopefully, that didnt mess him up, but maybe Xiom are sensitive. Werent a few xiom pros playing with DHS blades?
Id play a w968 if that handle was t so thin and lame. I guess ST ones exist. But theyre unicorns. I feel like if you can palm a basketball this sport is almost not for you, unless u want to custom handle things.
