@yogi_bear, how would you compare the Xylo 7 with Force Pro Black Edition?

That handle is freaking awesome! Really a great looking blade .Kudos to the designer and the builder!

I really don't care about the new colors and my next rubber will be red anyway....but this green color for Tibhar Grass rubber is the perfect combination without doubt!! Really nice :)

Vega Europe and FX-P are pretty much in the same league. Vega Europe can still easily be used today and is not underpowered. Keep in mind, that performance does not come from just the rubber as the blade plays the bigger part. Sidenote: now and then, I grab my YEO with FX-P on both sides and...

Hi Michael, Few tips from my side. 1) Footwork: I mostly agree with Gozo, especially on the footwork. Use your legs/feet to get into position for each stroke. 2) Stand: Instead of standing up straight, bend a bit more foreward and take a more active posture. You will notice that your topspin...

...must...resist... 🙈@sergio, nice looking blade! Looks like, the logo on the bottom of the handle is glued on top. Would be nicer/better if it would be placed in the bottom.PS: head size 157x150 ?

Was waiting for this one 😉Thanks Yogibear!Looks like this blade is a decent Innerforce type blade. It's just not clear to me what justifies the (very) high price tag.

Warm welcome to all the new forum members! 👋

Thanks @yogi-bear. Looking forward to your review!

Did anyone tried the (new?) KTS Core ALC ?

Koto is a relative hard type of wood and suitable for fast offensive blades. For example: TB blades and Viscaria have koto as outer ply. Ayous as outer ply is not very commonly used these days I think. It's a soft wood and mostly used as core(or center) ply. Limba is somewhat in between koto...

Wow. Nice design and cool color combination. Great looking handles. Are you selling these?

There is no "best" innerforce blade. It depends on personal preference and playstyle. Without knowing what you are looking for in a blade and your playstyle. there is no way to recommend any of these 4 blades. Yes, they all have ALC near to core layer, but they behave differently. Furthermore...

Thanks for sharing this video Brian. Some nice gameplay. I agree with yoass on the development of the playstyle during the match. When a component is able to disturb your gameplay, it's important to adapt and bring some changes to your own gameplay. I noticed that your opponent midsection (area...

Update. Used the Etika 47 on Stiga Infinity VPS (85gr).The Infinity can be a bit "nervous" in the short play, but the Etika 47 takes cares of this. As it's less sensitive for incoming spin and because of it's firmness, short play is more solid and easy. In my first review I mentioned the lack...

I'm afraid the Etika 51 would feel like concrete for me, as I normally play soft rubbers. Maybe when I'm more familiar with the 47, I might give the 51 a try.

PS: tried many ways and I'm getting really frustrated not being able to get the pictures showing. 🤬 Any tips on what I might be doing wrong, are greatly appreciated.

@airoc Now you mentioned, I forgot the say I used the 47 version. (will change it in my review) Thanks.

Normally I don't use (medium-) hard rubbers, but I did wanted to try the new Nexy Etika. Version: Etika 47 Thickness: 2.1mm (as far as I know it only comes in 2.1mm?) Weight uncut: 68 gr Weight cut: 46 gr Playtime: approx. 7-8 hours Blades used: Xiom SAL, Yasaka Ma Lin Soft Carbon, Stiga Energy...

It's not a very cheap set, but also not that expensive. IF the rubbers are indeed Aurus Select, that's approx. 85 EUR for 2 rubbers (when not discounted). Costs for side-tape and glue is marginal, so that leaves 34 EUR for a 7 ply blade. Not that bad. Just a thought: if the rubbers are indeed...
