Scorekeepers/umpires are the same thing in European culture, if you are a scorekeeper then you have the ability to call someone up on an illegal serve, net, time wasting and the score.

For context, I’ve been watching many videos of USATT tournaments from ratings of 1500-2500 and I’ve noticed that in 90% of the games, there is no umpire. This really surprises me as someone from England who’s been playing almost 7 years and never had a game that didn’t have an umpire. I feel...

I’m not attacking my sponsor, in fact they are incredibly helpful but I just wonder whether people have encountered problems with xiom blades

I’ll definitely ask!!!

I recently bought an xiom Hugo tmxi pro for about £50-60 as a ‘sponsored’ player and I really like the blade feels really good but after 3 weeks of use, one of the sides of the handle has come off. The same thing happened to my old blade but I’d been using that for 3 years so it was...

👍

Xiom Jekyll and Hyde c52.5

Let me guess, it’s custom table tennis? If so then I got sponsored by them and I’m almost the same as you on my Bh but resorted to xiom omega 8. I’ve been using it for a week now and it’s great, 45 degrees and can be used well in all gears. Very light aswell if your into that

I’m currently using a Hugo tmxi pro, does it compare well?

I’ve always shown interest in the long 5 as a blade due to how it plays when you hit through it from testing. It seems that when you hit hard, that sound is almost magical and it’s soo satisfying!! Although, would it be a better idea to go straight for a w968 clone, something like an xiom an...

I got sponsored by a partner of xiom so if I would be to use tacky rubbers, it would be something from the c series or omega china

Thanks for the feedback 🙏🙏🙏 I’m basing usatt rating off of comparisons, I’ve seen much technically worse 14 year olds over 2000 rating than me. Then again, it would be interesting in time to do tournaments over there and see how I compare

Don’t train enough really. About 15-20 hours a week. My aim really is just to get to a high level in England

I’m really sorry if my estimate is off, like I say, I don’t live in the us, my rating could be completely different than what I say!

I’m no equipment junkie, I know my stuff but recently I’ve been thinking about using tacky rubbers. I use an inner carbon blade with xiom rubbers, you can see on my account. It’s decent but certainly nothing special. I play in England but if I was to go off of USATT ratings then I would say I...

No need to be rude friend

Sorry, forget to mention that it was the tmxi

Personal advice is always better 😁

I just picked up this blade and going to use it for the first time on Friday, I feel like I made the wrong decision with my rubbers already. Omega 8 pro fh and omega 8 Europe bh but I guess it’s somewhere to start Has anyone got better recommendations for the rubbers that go hand in hand with...

I don’t know much about these two blades specifically but from my research, the two most popular blades in the series is the tmxi and chrome xaxi
