  1. Boosting European rubbers

    I do not recommend boosting Xiom Omega VII China Guang. it gets uncontrollable after boosting ... and I applied only one layer. I also boosted Tibhar MXP50, and it grew in size for 5mm at least (it was too small for TMXi blade by a lot and now it is big enough for Pro size of Xiom's blades...
  2. I’m thinking about training in Germany

    I think we didn't understand each other - firstly, I am not talking about him getting into WTT tour immediately, of course no. attend smaller tournaments. local, if you please. then advance to regional. and then maybe national. in his own category, of course, maybe a category higher, to get some...
  3. I’m thinking about training in Germany

    I am pretty sure that he got on the radar of some of them … 😉
  4. I’m thinking about training in Germany

    yes, nice example, too ... so, what, he is suddenly rated 2800? and the next time they play and i.e., loses, he is back to his previous rating? that's what I am talking about.
  5. I’m thinking about training in Germany

    honestly, I do not even know how the system works. as far as I know it is measured by who you compete against and who you beat and who you lose against. that's why I gave my example when we played, so i.e. T4 and T10 are 2000 and 2400 players and I am 1900. so after our matches, what are the...
  6. I’m thinking about training in Germany

    it's completely different. results are what matters. with that results you gather points, which then put you on table. like the kid wishes to - to be top 100 players, playing a lot of tournaments will get him there, not getting up to some level ... and as I explained in the past. mini...
  7. I’m thinking about training in Germany

    like I said already. everyone is talking about rating and numbers, and I told you - forget about this. especially in Germany. in Europe in general. here results count. if you practice hard, and play well, do well in tournaments, win some bigger tournaments - that is your big chance. if you win...
  8. New Xiom Blades Series: Hugo Calderano and Lee Seungsoo (TMX / ALX)

    in what way is it different? I know it has two different carbon layers, somehow I prefer softer feel on FH and bit harder, more direct feel on BH. i.e., currently I am playing with ALX and it is quite hard, stiff blade. it doesn’t bother me as much on BH as it does on FH. speed is okay, it’s not...
  9. Warranty on Table Tennis Blades

    it is quite peculiar, because one side of the blade has no problems at all. also, taking rubbers of is much easier on one side, but on that side it was Hurricane, which always almost jumps off the blade when you want to remove it. 😂 almost like one side is protected and one is not. I did apply...
  10. Warranty on Table Tennis Blades

    DHS no.15 which I also bought at their store. btw - like I said - I was under the assumption that Xiom blades come factory sealed.
  11. Warranty on Table Tennis Blades

    well, I have limba blade, too, and doesn’t have as much problems as this one which is koto blade …
  12. Boosting European rubbers

    completely agree! and that’s my whole point! apparently, as long as you don’t touch the topsheet of the rubber, you are safe. don’t blame me, blame the rule setter.
  13. Warranty on Table Tennis Blades

    I’ll look into it, I thought films and sheets are same, thx!
  14. Boosting European rubbers

    well, I don’t have a feeling we’re sitting on the same couch 😂 on the other hand - it’s hard to give a red card without any argument. 😉
  15. Boosting European rubbers

    well, as per ITTF rules, there is nothing malevolent in boosting the rubbers. so I guess the rules are very well written. 😉 again, I am refraining to Falco and how they interpret the rules, and their interpretation seems to be legit. so either ITTF needs to change how rules are written or...
  16. Warranty on Table Tennis Blades

    1) glue is the only option for me. never had any problems prior to this blade, and I used a lot of different blades and rubbers 2) Chinese blades unfortunately don’t have a good handle for me, every chinese blade handle causes discomfort in the wing area, unfortunately, otherwise I would be...
  17. Boosting European rubbers

    well, I don’t know if you know, but boosters ARE generally accepted. 90% of pros are using it, and, as I said - looking at the rules, they are actually not breaking any rules … they are not touching the topsheet, they are touching the sponge, which is actually allowed. don’t know what Hitler...
  18. Warranty on Table Tennis Blades

    aren’t Xiom blades factory sealed? maybe they sealed only one side … 🫣
  19. Warranty on Table Tennis Blades

    so, about a month ago I bought Xiom Hugo ALX Supreme Pro. yesterday I wanted to change rubbers and after peeling the rubber off the blade, the top layer splintered badly. I am attaching some pics as well. I noticed during the first rubber change, that the top layer is quite fragile, but...
  20. Boosting European rubbers

    I got my Falco Tempo Long and am playing with it. in the process of boosting the Hurricane family (3 Neo Commercial, H8 40 and H9 Violet), but was tempted to try it on ESN rubber and I put one layer on Xiom Omega 7 China Guang which is already quite dead, to see the effect it has. it is quite...
