don't need to focus on that, just have a wider stance, a loser arm and do the right weight transfer. here is a video of tomislav pucar, that is the same height as you and maybe it helps for reference of how wide you need to stand

i would second that and add that you round your shoulders to compensate maybe for your height and then your stroke is compromised. you should definitely work on your stance, really important!

you can try to be a bit more relaxed. i think your roboticness comes from beeing to tense. first thing: try to let your arm and hand be loose and let the movement start from your hip. your arm should follow your hip naturally and this creates the swing. the only moment you tense up is in the...

that is right, vega pro is sometimes only 29€ here in germany and last a long time, so definitely a great deal and sometimes even better then stuff from aliexpress. but vega x and ventus extra are also doesn’t cost much more and is holding on just fine with ventus extra beeing close to famous...

something that people forgot to write here, is that the newer generation models having a better feeling, are easier to activate and easier to play for their respective speed. let‘s make this more clear in the way of showing the 3 most famous older esn tensor: donic barracuda, nittaku g-1 and...

definitly the rubber is a factor too, but i would argue that the blade plays the biggest factor in perceived speed and according to the measurements of ttgearlab that is what we feel when we talk about dwell. the actual dwell of the ball on a bat including rubbers is basically non existing and...

someone in this forum send me this website: https://ttgearlab.com/ and it pretty much explains the feeling of dwell/hold that also matches my own experience with blades. it basically says that if the speed with slow strokes not accelerates with hard strokes, then the blades gives the feeling of...

maybe i have old information, in the catalog of 2024 the omega 8 hybrid was declared as 50 degree

thanks for the recommendations, i will look into that! are they like modern dynamic rubbers?

as i wrote, the hybrid is 50 degree and semi-tacky/super grippy and the china is 52.5 and tacky/semi-tacky. maybe they have a different pimple structure and i can imagine the hybrid is more high throw, while china beeing medium throw, but who knows? we need to wait till omega 8 hybrid comes out…

vega asia DF is a normal grippy tensor rubber that is really soft around 42 degree. far away from the china guang that comes at 55 degree. xiom is not super specific about the names like euro, pro, asia and so on. it is more about a playing style then actual hardness or categories like that. so...

maybe it wasn’t the right term because english is not my first language, but i like rubber with a lot of dynamic and katapult on my backhand, but i don‘t like it when the catapult starts to early like on short touches or serves. that is known for tenergy05 and several other rubbers. vega x, vega...

can you compare O8pro vs O7pro a bit? i liked O7pro in active play but in serves and passive strokes it was a bit to bouncy for me. i wanna go away from vega x and need something faster but without having a trampoline on my paddle like with O7pro or tenergy05

hybrid: donic bluegrip c2 (close to d09c, closer to hurricane) donic bluestar a1 (closer to tensor) andro rasanter c53 (closer to tensor) tibhar hybrid mk (even closer to tensor) andro nuzn (closest to tensor) xiom j&h c55 (closest to hurricane) xiom omega 8 china (closer to d09c) tensor: andro...

with g-1 you can just go with 2.0 i played it a lot and couldn’t feel any difference to the max one (that is also not available anymore). perfect setup for a loooooong time or for ever. have fun!

good point! but what i think the difference lies more in the playing style. outercarbon blades is a different style of play and when you wanna find a blade that suits that style then you only have two options: 7ply or outercarbon. but outercarbon are hard to control and fast rebound while 7ply...

i don’t understand why they made them thicker? one of the biggest arguments for a carbon blade over an 7ply ist the added stability without a thick construction… i would have understood if they choose softer wood and make them slightly thinner like 5.7 the idea is good and since xiom don’t sell...

best BH rubber by victas is definitely Ventus Extra! amazing modern rubber with good grab, bounce, curve and extremely durable

yes i saw that but i get 25% house sale from my tt shop and don’t have expensive shipping cost, so that was sadly never an option just for try something out. not that big of an EJ :) but thanks for your answer! fingers crossed they release all models

do you also know if omega 8 euro is coming too? …since you never know with xiom. i would have been interested in x47.5 and that never made it to germany
