  1. Xiom Vega series

    I had mixed feelings about OVA, it had a good meaty and stable feeling but to me it ended up feeling like a less exciting MXS. OVT in comparison is more in line with a strongly boosted, dynamic modern topspinners rubber
  2. Next step after Xiom Allround S > Offensive S or Ignito or other not Xiom blade

    Ignito will be a massively different blade, after all it is a thick and very stiff 3 wood 2 carbon. The feeling is relatively mild because the carbon is buried underneath a decently thick veneer of a very soft wood, but the speed is much higher than that of a regular 5 ply wood and it plays much...
  3. Xiom Vega series

    VE felt much softer and mushier to me, and more spin-sensitive. I was surprised at how crispy and snappy the C1 felt when I first tried it despite its relative softness. I think another similar rubber is the Ventus Limber, its softer sponged than Vega Euro but the toosheet is tougher like that...
  4. Xiom Vega series

    Omegas are where its at imo. I've heard a lot of good things about Omega VII but I've only used V Asia and V Tour, V Tour is one of my favorite rubbers but it didn't last that long for me.
  5. Has anyone tried Hurricane 9 Pink ?

    I have blue and green 729 Cross, I think they were both marked 44 but the green one comes with orange sponge and the blue one comes with blue sponge, I honestly can't tell the difference in the sponges, and at the end of the day they are still just regular 729. With all these new Chinese style...
  6. Defence with Short Pips Advice

    I believe its not the same as pimplemini but the Nittaku Do Knuckle series seems relatively popular for an mp nowadays, for purposes of defense.
  7. I wanna play with the big boys!

    It might only be tangentially related due to the pips content but I think this OOAK thread is probably one of the highest level accounts on English speaking forums of a chopper/defender training and playing with sp and ox/sponge lp- https://ooakforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=58&t=18471
  8. 2.1 or 1.9mm on T05H (FH) and D05 (BH)

  9. Do Roundell rubbers have less spin than Tibhar Genius?

    Genius is pretty grippy, Roundell is more of an allrounder rubber imo
  10. Most reliable and long-lasting non-tacky rubbers other than Butterfly.

    Fastarc G1, Ventus Extra, Hexer HD. If you're looking for a medium hardness rubber that is still reasonably solid feeling look at Baracuda. No, at least not the original Aurus series
  11. Closed: LF Xiom AZX with flared handle

    LF=looking for. OP is not selling anything
  12. Miracle of Long 5

    These things may be true, but are by themselves not helpful to playing. When you have these thoughts, I think it might be helpful to follow them up with constructive approaches to these seeming quandaries of yours. Even if it is a simple approach like "I'm not familiar with the serve but I will...
  13. Share your Racket's Photo

    It looks reasonably authentic, did the verification code not check out or something?
  14. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    Unboosted, I think LAC is a much stronger pick than GTX for spin and control. For me, GTX is actually pretty fast and springy, GTX is more automatic in driving blocking and smashing, but it feels like it doesn't have the strong grab or pronounced arc flight that is characteristic of Chinese...
  15. Joola customer support - Joola Dynaryz ZGX

    Gewo recently released the Codexx Superselect series which includes 53 and 55 versions, as opposed to the regular 52 and 54 versions. I'm keen on trying these sometime in the near future
  16. Mizuno Q Quality a cheap and performant tensor that matches Tenergy 05 at half price

    Does it seem that the weight difference comes just from the topsheet? I have two sheets of MX-S, one red one black both max, I haven't weighed them but the sponge on the black one is denser and visibly less porous than red, and the red one is a bit more dynamic.
  17. gewo rubber

    I think unit price depends on location. Gewo rubbers are pretty reasonably priced from Table tennis store.us, and some ebay sellers moving product in the US. But the price is not as attractive from TT11, and the selection there is much lower than in the US. I haven't done much research on...
  18. Fast blade

    Boll T5000 is discontinued. ZJKT5000 is probably your next best bet but I think its also been recently discontinued.
  19. Need your help in BH rubber.

    If you really want to be like Aruna, you have to use Nexxus Superselect 😉
