Airoc said it well.
Also the last alwood blade I used for 5 years+ broke at the neck. All the little things that happen over a long time, such as dropping it, it beeing transported in softcase, many thousands of hits ans smashes can accumulate and damage it.
If you take good care of it there is...
Cant think of many outer blades with Limba top, maybe DHS Long 5A or Nittaku Acoustic Carbon.
Not sure about the properties of the fibers used in the Trinity, since it is made out of three materials. I only know of Xioms Trimetrix that has 3 fibers, but I think none of their blades are outer...
Little update on the Hammond Z2, topsheet is still going strong. A couple more months are surely in it.
I'd like to share my current thouhts: I would say that I have fully adapted to it now and perform really well on all the offensive strokes. Flat hitting was an aspect I struggled with but now...
Was looking into this shortly because I had the sudden urge to build some rackets myself. (Wont really happen with my tools currently)
So the yellow once are mostly Aramid just with different weave patterns mixed with carbon. Blue good ol Arylate carbon.
Some pure carbon weaves and was the...
Just by watching the highlights I wouldn't say that the equipment is mainly at fault. He still hit some great shots, its just a matter of adjusting slightly and building confidence fully. Also Dima played pretty well there, good counters, awkward long balls towards Hugos body.
For me, both D05 and Hammond Z2 have good grip.
Z2 maybe a few percentages less sensitive to spin. But I also wouldn't consider D05 bad in this aspect in the first place.
Hello Oscar, sorry if I barge in here.
I noticed a new Rubber "ROJETA" by Nexy on the ITTF LARC and wanted to ask you if you could give some insights, since it is hard to find infos here.
I really liked the ETIKA Rubber, played it for roughly 2 years. And since the ROJETA is also made in Japan...
I really like XIOM, but not using your own products in your promotional shots and instead editing them in (probably with AI) just isn't a good look.
Didn't even bother to blur all of them. The one on the Vega O page is just BEYOND pathetic.
Or does XIOM offer red sponges and green blades...
Saw this one too and the design made me consider to buy it one day. The AcB has blue ALC and this one seems to have a yellow one.
As for the rest, I have no idea. Could be a more powerfull version of the B2X with Koto outer ply
I assume you are a beginner?
These are pretty different style of rubbers, it is hard to tell which one would give you better performance.
Especially if we dont know how advanced you are and what you prefer in a rubber.
I mean based on your statement alone choose Hurricane 3 or Dignis 09c. But...
