  1. FT: Defensive Classic (new), Freeze HRD, Legacy Carbon, Acoustic G-Revision (new), Alexis Krypto Carbon

    I have a FL FZD ALC (85g) and FL MK Carbon FL (87 grams). Both in good condition. US based
  2. Performing Handle Modification - Thin to Thick Handle?

    Why can't you microwave a composite blade?
  3. Stiga Inspira CCF Review

    I am also wondering this. Can't seem to find that information anywhere...
  4. US Based Custom Blade Maker

    I know someone who ordered from Sergio who paid over $120 USD in tariff and import costs on one blade. Crazy :/ I’ve thought about getting one on vacation, but the timing would be tough as would paying for international travel 😅 I’m not skilled enough to make my own, but maybe one day!

  6. US buying from Dandoy tariff problem

    I bought from them not too long ago, and there was no shipping cost from Dandoy, but I was made to pay a $34 by UPS to get it in the country. I use TT11 now because they'll charge $17.50 flat rate for shipping to the US, no hidden costs.
  7. US Based Custom Blade Maker

    I am in the USA and with tariffs in place, it is tough to get a custom made blade from overseas. I was looking around for US based blade makers, but haven't seen many. Charlie (blades by Charlie) retired, and Ross Leidy doesn't seem to be very active either. I want a simple but specific all wood...
  8. Joola Tronix CMD - Short Review

    I removed the backhand side for Xiom Vega Europe to get a higher arc. The removed Tronix CMD Red was 42 grams cut to a Timo Boll Spirit. Just fyi!
  9. Joola Tronix CMD - Short Review

    After 1 month, the grip is still excellent with only slight discoloration around the sweet spot where I hit the most. The speed level has not changed and still has a good 'pop'. It is also remarkably hard to chip and tear. I had several table hitting accidents and it still looks untouched. I've...
  10. Changing from tibhar samsonov pure wood

    Ah, nice! as long as you're confident and comfortable in your play then who cares? GO WIN!!!
  11. Changing from tibhar samsonov pure wood

    I wouldn't recommend switching if you still haven't. You have an ALL+ blade with 47 degree rubbers, which should produce plenty of power. Keep working on your technique and you'll be fine. I used the Tibhar Pure Wood for a year so I'm familiar with its feeling. If you JUST started doing...
  12. Joola Rhyzen Fire - Short Review

    I actually tried a sheet of Rakza 7 on the same blade I had Rhyzen Fire on, so I can compare it directly. Rakza 7 definitely had more catapult, but the top speed felt about the same with Fire having more in the lower gears. The grip/spin was about the same though.
  13. Joola Rhyzen Fire - Short Review

    Specs: The uncut weight of a 2.0 sheet is 68 grams. The surface is very grippy and the pimples are not visible through black or blue sheets. It feels like a 45-47.5 degree hardness rubber. Closer to the 47.5 mark. Playing: Used on a Xiom ZL Pro. In both MAX and 2.0 on both FH/BH at various...
  14. Joola Rhyzen Ice - Rubber Review

    Not at all! I used Barracuda on my Forehand for about 3 months, and it was fine but definitely felt like it missed something. The topsheet grip is about the same, but the Ice has less bounce and a flatter arc so it is much more controllable. The increased dwell time on Ice meant I could load up...
  15. Joola Rhyzen Ice - Rubber Review

    Joola Rhyzen Ice - Review Specs: The uncut weight of a MAX sheet is 68 grams and 64 grams at 2.0 mm. The topsheet and sponge don’t feel as soft as the Tronix CMD or Xiom Vega Europe. The sponge feels closer to Donic Barracuda (45 degrees) and the topsheet is also somewhat hard, but does not...
  16. Joola Tronix CMD - Short Review

    I’ve noticed that, very odd considering the quality. I’ve tried Joola Ice, Fire, and now Tronix CMD. Great price, performance, and color options. But the reviews are SPARSE. I’ve tried to write good reviews for all 3 to help! PS - The One Piece is real
  17. Joola Tronix CMD - Short Review

    Hmm, I’ll get back to you all in about 1 month, then 3, then 6, then 1 year. Tronix did not have a bowing upon opening the packaging, so I don’t think it was really all that factory boosted. After about a week of play, it still feels new out of the box!
  18. Joola Tronix CMD - Short Review

    Sure! My TBS with this rubber feels perfect. I haven’t had a single thought about changing it. It’s lightweight, grippy, and the input feels equal to the output. I do plan on using this long term! Again it’s all subjective, so it feels great for me but others may not agree 🤷‍♂️
  19. Joola Tronix CMD - Short Review

    Good questions! Recommended for intermediate beginners on either side, not complete beginners. Or advanced intermediates on the backhand side. I'm about 1600 USATT, and this feels fine on either side. I don't see a need to change at all, and my 1800+ friend agreed. Not sure about the rest of...
