Highly doubt that, I remember that a few years ago someone got his hands on a blade that Hugo used in the Bundesliga, it was just a very heavy (96g+) Hugo Hal Also, he was using C55 before it was released in tournaments, with Hugo Hal. He could have just used Hugo TMX at this point too, but didnt

No idea, but what I dont understand is: - Hugo still uses Hugo HAL (I asked his management) - Hugo HAL is still a bestseller (I asked 2 TT shops, it was their best selling Xiom blade) - Among all Xiom players, Hugo is their biggest star and they use them for all the ads And: now you cannot buy...

Hi guys, I want to try out a Hinoki Blade. I never tried one and I read that its feeling is amazing for looping. I am using H3 on FH, Tensor on BH. I looked around and it doesnt seem that many Hinoki blades are available. I am looking for one that has moderate speed, not faster than my Hugo HAL...

Seems like he is now sponsored by gewo, time for XIOM to put those AJH TMX(i) blades on discount

Are you using the Nittaku Violin? I tried Vega Pro H for one session on a faster blade than yours. It was very slow on BH, and even with good acceleration, it was difficult to get decent speed + spin out of the rubber. However, it was very safe though for open ups, short game etc. Depends on...

Any new infos on HUGO TMX, LSS TMX or Omega 8?

yooo you shit so much on xiom gear lately and if we go back a few months you were EJ'ing on those blades? glad you found the path of light just in time

Havent used them but both of these blades will be harder (TMX has both ALC and ZLC) and significantly faster than the ALX 36.5 (based on measurements of https://ttgearlab.com/)

No , I missed nothing. I had a match in our league yesterday, and I used the HAL. Played great with it. I like XIOM, and their products. And I love their blades. I got the ALX for 90€, which is a steal in my opinion. Maybe I will switch to the ALX at some point, but currently, I am using it...

Yes, I mostly agree. Though, I also went from 5 ply limba blade (OG version of samsonov premium contact) to Hugo HAL. It was a big change, but in hindsight, it paid of completly. Therefore, its hard to suggest a blade. He just has to try it out. I would suggest to just go with what you want to...

Interesting that you know about me using the TB ZLF. The TB ZLF and the Hugo HAL are the blades that I used the most. I can try to compare them. All subjective impressions of course. 1. Hugo HAL's handle is alot more comfortable than TB ZLF handle. Hugo HAL handle is more like viscaria, thicker...

Update because relevant, AJH was using GEWO edge tape during current 2024 Asian Championsships in Astana. What did I miss LOL. Also, it seems like he is still using W968

Very interested in this rubber but as always it will come down to durability, and somehow I doubt it will be good in that department Some promo video that I found:

Well I dont really mind putting on a light layer of boost, so the thing that matters to me is, does it play better after I boost with a layer of haifu or is the difference negligible. Imo, for H3, the difference is very noticeable boosted vs unboosted. You CAN use H3 BS unboosted, and it plays...

No, it was a one time thing. First product was like 30-50% off, then second sheet of STN would have cost me 20€. some kind of event until 7th october

Interesting. So it is designed by Sanwei to be like a chinese rubber that doesnt need any boosting? I didnt read much about STN, just trusting on the positive reviews from you guys. Similar to H3 BS and no need for boosting almost sounds too good to be true. Also, it was only 10€ on Aliexpress...

Its not slow without booster? with H3 BS spin and speed are easily accessible only after boosting. its not the same with STN ?

By the way, should I boost with a layer of haifu? cheers

Okay I just got a sheet off Aliexpress, lets see how the STN will compare to H3N BS

Thank you for your help :) Can anyone of you briefly compare the STN with Battle 3, both in regard to being alternatives to H3 Neo? Also, has anyone tried the Nittaku Hurricane 3 Neo 8701 Version? I rarely see anyone using it though it has good reviews online and is cheaper than h3n provincial
