  1. Blade defect after sealing?

    Please let me know what you think. First pic is FH, second is BH. It seems to me that on BH side, it happened again on my second blade that also got sealed today. I hope I am wrong, please let me know what you think
  2. Blade defect after sealing?

    Thank you. It mostly happened on only one side, the other side seems okay. Actually Xiom responded to me that they will send me a replacement blade, acknowledging that because of the 36.5 Cold Press process, it could happen that sealant might cause issues in some cases. Now, I am worried that...
  3. Blade defect after sealing?

    Am I imagining things or did it happen to my other blade too? (I sealed two blades in my local shop today) Are you sure it couldnt have been the sealing? @hipnotic When I slide my finger from left to right, the FH side is completly smooth, the BH side has some bumbs. This blade is totally new...
  4. Blade defect after sealing?

    Yes, this is what the carpenter told me aswell. He said there is a similar effect sometimes with very old regular tables (that are produced in a similar glueing and pressing method) I got in touch with Xiom and the shop that sold me the blade. Hopefully, the problem can be resolved, because the...
  5. Blade defect after sealing?

    I went to the shop again. the staff looked at it and confirmed the wood is coming up. the guy who sealed it even remember that the surface was smooth before by chance, there was a carpenter in the shop. he looked at the blade and said there might be a defect from a faulty glueing process...
  6. Blade defect after sealing?

    Hi, I went to my local table tennis shop to seal two blades, one of them was my Xiom 36.5 ALX. The shop is one of the major table tennis shops in Germany My blade was almost in a perfect condition, and it was perfectly smooth. After they sealed it, it looks like this (see picture). What the...
  7. A light Chinese rubber with a little catapult and decent spin

    Hi L-zr, if you are looking for lighter options, I can recommend H3 Neo 37 (this is surprisingly good on FH too if you boost) or the Nittaku H3 Neo Nr.8701. It has the same quality as H3 Neo Prov. version, but it is lighter than its counterpart. You can find the 8701 version on TT11
  8. Xiom An JaeHyun TMXi blades + Jykell & Hyde Z/H review

    Both of my TMXi are sealed by the same store. So sealing is not the issue There is just that much variety for TMXi Pro regarding speed / stiffness even though the weight difference ist just 2g But as you said before, I think my 88g model is unusually slow, while my 90g model is unusually fast.
  9. Xiom An JaeHyun TMXi blades + Jykell & Hyde Z/H review

    I agree, but 90g version of TMXi Pro with a frequency of 1430hz is also unusually high. To be honest, while I just bounced the ball on the naked blade, the feel, pitch and vibrations are totally different when compared to my 88g version. I decided to search for a backup blade that has the same...
  10. Xiom An JaeHyun TMXi blades + Jykell & Hyde Z/H review

    I read a few reviews about the pro, and it seems like most people that own the pro version reported around 1300hz, while the regular tmxi (non-pro) seems to be avg. around 1400hz I dont really know what is going on with my tmxi pro‘s, getting 1240hz and 1430hz respectively I cant complain...
  11. Xiom An JaeHyun TMXi blades + Jykell & Hyde Z/H review

    Got myself a backup AJH TMXi Pro during black friday sale. I ordered a 90g piece, its sealed and my scale shows 91g. After doing the frequency test, it showed ~1430hz. I am really surprised by that, because my other TMXi Pro (88-89g model) only showed a frequency of ~1240hz. I havent tried the...

  13. Xiom An JaeHyun TMXi blades + Jykell & Hyde Z/H review

    Update after second session: - Backhand is so good on this blade, but you need to squeeze your fingers on every shot to get amazing quality. otherwise the arc is low. AJH bh is very safe - this blade has shown me how trash my Forehand mechanics are. I am tense during my swings, therefore my...
  14. Xiom An JaeHyun TMXi blades + Jykell & Hyde Z/H review

    For anyone interested, I tried the AJH TMXi Pro now. I usually use Hugo HAL. My blade weighs 89g, 1240hz. Glued with H3 37 boosted on FH and Omega 7 Pro, the total weight is 187g. The blade is just beautiful and I love the design + the feel of the handle. To be honest, at first, I didnt think...
  15. Xiom new collection (2024)

    Was checking the official Xiom Korea website. It seems like they released a new rubber for their domestic market. According to the Korean description, this is the successor of the popular Omega 2 Asia. They claim it has better control and better speed, and I highly doubt that this will be...

  17. Xiom An JaeHyun TMXi blades + Jykell & Hyde Z/H review

    Interesting, thanks for your insights. I never tried w968, so cannot compare with it. I just read saw the reviews from gan and tt11 blog, and they were really positive. But I guess, blades are just very subjective and ones playing level and skill must also be kept in mind. For example, gan said...
  18. Xiom An JaeHyun TMXi blades + Jykell & Hyde Z/H review

    How did it ultimately feel for you? Was it hollow, or crisp? 1227hz is alot lower than I expected, some people report 1350+hz on their tmxi pro with just 2g more of weight. yet you felt it was still quite fast and stiff? I got a 88g tmxi pro incoming since I was able to get it cheap from 2nd...

  20. WTT Champions Frankfurt 2024

    Amazing first day for me in the arena. Best matches for me were AJH v Lebrun and Shin Yubin v Adriana Diaz. Mainly because these players and particular matchups quickly got into the rallies, and knew how to hold the ball. WCQ on the other hand just looked tired and slow, without any fighting...
