  1. New Xiom Blades Series: Hugo Calderano and Lee Seungsoo (TMX / ALX)

    It measures the natural vibrational frequency (in Hz or MHz) of the blade when it is tapped or struck—usually measured with specialized equipment or even smartphone apps using the blade's sound. The higher the frequency, the stiffer the blade, the lower the dwell time and the faster the rebound.
  2. Butterfly to relaunch custom-made blade service.

    Take a look at this video. However, I wouldn't put my blade in boiling water under any circumstance.
  3. How to repair wood dents/cavities in racket head?

    This is by far the best way I've seen for repairing edge hits, but it requires skills that quite frankly very few have.
  4. Butterfly to relaunch custom-made blade service.

    I have done it yes, but not myself but a carpenter i know. It was very easy, I saw the process: He removed the old handle with a chisel and used D3 wood glue to glue the new one. It was really easy, i could have done it myself
  5. Butterfly to relaunch custom-made blade service.

    And why on earth would you pay 350€ just to get an Innerforce with Viscaria blade? Just buy a normal Innerforce, then a Viscaria handle (or any other that you like) from AliExpress and you're set. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008417075111.html
  6. New Xiom Blades Series: Hugo Calderano and Lee Seungsoo (TMX / ALX)

    Most probably, that's it. Used to be 30% off with 300€ for Europe as well, but it was a long time ago since they've ceased this discount.
  7. New Xiom Blades Series: Hugo Calderano and Lee Seungsoo (TMX / ALX)

    Hm, that's odd. I only see 25% as maximum discount.
  8. New Xiom Blades Series: Hugo Calderano and Lee Seungsoo (TMX / ALX)

    Love to hear your review after you get them, cause I've been playing with AJH TMXi as well for over 2 years, and I haven't played any other blade that I like so much! PS How did you get a 30% discount from tt11? The max volume discount is 25% and they don't have Hugo TMXi Pro in their Special Offers
  9. New Xiom Blades Series: Hugo Calderano and Lee Seungsoo (TMX / ALX)

    In a previous message, you had stated that regular AJH TMXi feels like Harimoto ALC, while AJH TMXi Pro feel like W968 and that in general have a totally different feeling. I see that you've playing with the Pro version. Have you actually tried the regular AJH TMXi with the same rubbers as in...
  10. cutting knives for rubber

    That's a cool gadget! I am using a thick wooden cutting board from IKEA (leaving the handle outside the board) and works just fine.
  11. cutting knives for rubber

    I am using 25A but I'm switching to No23. Also No 18 seems perfect
  12. cutting knives for rubber

    Which number scalpel blade are you using?
  13. Should I seal my blade?

    I wouldn't suggest sealing your blade as it alters its characteristics, making it more stiff. Moreover, If you put too much lacquer, rubbers will not adhere very well and you'll have problems. It's not really worth it, given the fact that Stratus Powerwood is a fairly cheap blade.
  14. New Xiom Blades Series: Hugo Calderano and Lee Seungsoo (TMX / ALX)

    I was comparing Calderano TMXi Pro with the normal version of AJH TMXi, not the Pro. AJH TMXi Pro has bigger head size (160x152) as opposed to Calderano TMXi Pro that has head size 158x152, so they should not be compared. About the AJH TMXi and the AJH TMXi Pro, you are wrong about the...
  15. New Xiom Blades Series: Hugo Calderano and Lee Seungsoo (TMX / ALX)

    Yes I know what you mean, blades do not have exact weight and there are discrepancies. But AJH TMXi had a nominal average weight of 88gr and 5.9 thickness, while Calderano TMXi has a nominal avearge weight of 84gr with same dimensions and 6.0 thickness. 4 gr to the nominal weight is a big...
  16. New Xiom Blades Series: Hugo Calderano and Lee Seungsoo (TMX / ALX)

    2 questions that come to my mind: 1. Has Calderano TMXi the exact same composition with AJH TMXi? If yes, how come the Calderano TMXi is so much lighter, given the fact that it is also thicker than AJH TMXi? (6.0 vs 5.9) 2. Will AJH TMXi be discontinued? AJH left Xiom a while now.

    What amazed me the most from this incident, was not the fact that Felix was crying like a 5year old, but the fact that Alexis was celebrating like crazy DESPITE the fact that his brother was crying his heart out! I mean he was seeing he just didn't give a sh*t about his brother's feelings...

    It's not an isolated incident. If that was the case, I would understand it as we all have bad moments. There are numerous occasions where both brothers are behaving like crazy. Take a look at this one, where Felix lost to Duda and threw his raquet and broke a tv screen After the incident he...

    I think Kao Cheng Jui has switched from HL5 W968 to Xiom TMXi
