TMXi and HAL, speed wise, are actually quite similar. also control. the feel and vibration are quite different, though. if TMXi is not so problematic with rubbers, I have a feeling that with HAL it has to be harder rubber. D09c pairs wonderfully with HAL, J&H, harder versions, 52.5 hardness...

ah, okay, I didn't understand you correctly, ESN hybrids, not ESN in general, got it! but you have a lot of contact with K3 - is it really that bad, durability wise?

I totally feel you! I used to be - the blade has to be 90g or more ... but then hybrids came and rubber weight went up. the whole combo ended in 200g range, sometimes even over. lastly I played AZXi, blade 91g and whole combo was 200g. and then same rubbers on HAL, 84g, 185 total weight - and I...

K3 is the most successful one? not MX-P or Yasaka 7/9? I always thought it would be one of these ... China Guang was 55 and was amazing to play with ... while it lasted. and it lasted about a month, had it for about 2 weeks on FH, then realised it amazing for BH, too and had it on BH for two...

sorry, need one for backup! 🤪

haha, ok, can I send this to the importer for Slovenia? maybe I get one HAL as a token of respect for my praise of the blade. 🙈

why? 🙈😂

I was afraid the weight would be above 195 as I was reading the reviews, but it has a relatively small head (157x152) TMXi is a little bit bigger (159x152), and AZXi is even bigger (160x152) … 😁

Dignics05 both sides?

one thing I learned through the last year of testing (I prefer to call it testing, instead of EJing :P ) - there might be similarity between rubbers of the same manufacturer, but not between different ones ... I was looking for something close to D09c ... tried H8, boosted H8, H3N commercial...

Dignics 09c is a match made in heaven for HAL. definitely, in short time I have it, it needs to bee a rubber above 50ESN hardness, 47.5 if it is a harder feeling rubber (Vega Pro H fits the bill nicely). I have Dignics09c on FH and it is a great combo, on BH I started with Dignics05 but it is a...

didn’t yet play with H8-80, only Hurricane 9 Violet.

also, booster (Falco Tempo Long) doesn't do anything ... at least on Hurricane 9 Violet, which has the #80 sponge. nothing. rubber is very nice to play out of the box though, but was extremely heavy. 57g after cut to Xiom TMXi. 59g after applying booster.

I simply call it "the honeymoon period" ... :p

I mean, I bought the Dignics because of the good price I got - quite some discount included. yes, I will most probably buy another one (because I realised I prefer D09c on both sides not the standard D09c/D05 combo) ... but ... two things that bother me with Zyre - price, and sponge thickness...

you don't play table tennis a lot, do you?

wouldn't say it's different, just aged a bit ... layers seem to be the same. as for the handle - I have TMXi and HAL, both FL, and are quite similar in hand. both hold great. also - limba? isn't top layer Koto on HAL?

2.5 or 2.7 ... damn ... that's thick ... and to add 44 hardness ... 🤯

yes. on DHS #15 it even says to add more layers for more speed. 😉

I have 84g blade and it is really nice. I mean, official spec says 85g, if that means anything, so ...
