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

    clearly feedback is much better with heavier models of the same blade, but the stiffnes, overall speed and kick goes up a lot and the throw will be lower too. lighter models can feel hollow sometimes but they are more 'controllable' and 'easier to play' for most players that don't train 5x per...
  2. New Xiom Blades Series: Hugo Calderano and Lee Seungsoo (TMX / ALX)

    thank you for the pictures! finally we can see the real handle shape. i was so confused when i saw the really bad 3D image and how the handle looked like. but they stayed with their nature of having a butterfly 'clone' handle with wide for outer and thin for inner. i personally like the idea of...
  3. My 15 month EJ journey in table tennis (Xiom offensive S+ Xiom 36.5 ALXi + TMXi + Viscaria)

    please don't... you are a beginner and since you changed so much in this early times it is quite easy to imagine that you still not developed any feeling or idea of the game. instead of training hard with one equipment and creating a game plan you just chasing the honeymoon phase. i told you in...
  4. Best glue to assemble rubbers?

    yes you need one, it is still a contact glue
  5. Best glue to assemble rubbers?

    sueke is thicker then revolution but takes a bit more time to dry. but doesn’t matter if you use a hairdryer anyway. it is the easiest one to remove by a mile from any glue i had in the years like nittaku, andro, revolution, xiom and donic. the only difference to other glues is that it will...
  6. Xiom Omega 8?

    anybody any updates on durability of the new omega 8 series yet? especially omega 8 china. i want to switch my bluestar a1 and looking for something around the same hardness. the best rubber for me was hybrid k3 but the durability was horrible. bluestar was okay, same as any other modern...
  7. Donic Bluestar vs. Bluegrip?

    i tried all three versions and played with a1 for one season but will actually switch again. as @Scarfed Garchomp wrote they differ very much. the topsheet of A series is softer and the sponge is more porous and softer overall. it feels like an easier to play and more durable version of rasanter...
  8. Looking for a BH rubber that has higher throw then Rakza 7, suggestions?

    more catapult that starts earlier (still a lot less compared to modern rubbers) easier to generate spin but not that high peak like g-1 a bit lower throw that makes backhand techniques easier backhand stroke is more compact, the timing is harder and therefore it less likely to generate the same...
  9. Best glue to assemble rubbers?

    oh really? luckily my batch didn't smell at all! but my old glue revolution no3 smelled so much that people entering my room after glueing rubbers asked me if i had a cat toilet in my room :D what you all like better about dhs 15 compared to sueke?
  10. Best glue to assemble rubbers?

    sueke no.2 amazing glue, sticks well, easy to remove, leaves no residue on blade and best thing is it's sooo darn cheap!
  11. Looking for a BH rubber that has higher throw then Rakza 7, suggestions?

    +1 too on fastarc C-1. it basically what you described and a perfect backhand rubber. but if you really want to go for high throw and catapult then try omega v tour or tenergy 05. most modern rubbers besides hybrids have mostly lower throw. and with hybrids you have not the catapult you wanted
  12. Xiom Vega Hybrid Rubbers

    i didn't try but can imagine that it will work good with one layer. only problem is that it is already pretty heavy rubber, mine was 53g on my hugo hal
  13. Xiom Vega Hybrid Rubbers

    vega pro H was a really nice rubber with a lot more spin then any rubber in the vega series, but yes it was rather unresponsive. if you have a fast blade then it could fit
  14. Blade with cracking feeling

    not only speed, the whole style this blade behaves is different and you would need to change your whole technique and that would make no sense if you didn't want to have this change or a coach told you that. so better stay with the blade and feeling you are used to and just change to lighter...
  15. Blade with cracking feeling

    why not buy the alxi again? it is still available everywhere and is an amazing blade. viscaria requires a totally different playing style compared to your blade and is not for beginners. if it is too head heavy you could change to lighter rubbers like omega 7 euro or pro on both sides.
  16. Spinny, medium soft rubber for bh recommendations?

    aurus soft is a really good and extremely spinny medium soft rubber that is easy to control. omega 7 euro is also a great and super fast but lacks a bit of spin compared to aurus soft. fx-s same as aurus soft but a bit more spin and speed and less control. quantum x pro is only really good if...
  17. Performance of light vs heavy pieces of Viscaria

    heavier pieces always tend to feel better to most players no matter what blade. but it is always a compromise of how agile you wanna be and how much hardness, speed and bounce you can control. heavier blades of the same model are harder, stiffer faster and this does not result in better play...
  18. Xiom Omega 8?

    i played with omega 5 euro on my backhand for a long time and the difference between max and 2,0 was basically non existent... i think the pimples are so long that max is already around 2,0. the pimples of omega 8 pro are shorter, so more room for sponge and max will be something like 2,2
  19. Practice style dilemma - full force or playing nice

    i mean depends on what you want to train. if you train footwork then you concentrate on your feet not on power and vice versa. but what has that to do with the age of your practice partners? and if you can only play max 3 of the slow shots already, then they are maybe still too fast for you. i...
  20. Trying to fix my robotic forehand

    exactly! get your foundation right first, then the rest will come on the way. don't overcomplicate it and try those three things (relaxation for transfering power from the hip, wider stance, weight transfer) and this will be enough to make a lot of progress already. someone on this forum send a...
