This blade is also on Prince of TT £45. Thing is I would have the limba on fh and koto on bh. ;)

Does anyone know if anyone makes a combination blade, preferably 7 ply with a limba outer and a koto outer? or Koto one side and Ash or anything else more loopy other side. I have decided I need a nearly stiff 7 ply with limba etc for fh and koto for bh pips! There must be something out there...

IB66 did you try your R48 today.

1 step forward two steps back, lol

And 6 of those were from the first set which I actually lost 12-10.

A bit more bh pay with mid pips!!

Airoc but if it is mushier and I am putting it on a blade that I am feeling is too hard maybe it will be ok. My Xiom Solo is outstanding on my bh pip hitting to the point that I must use it and find something to work on my fh. 05fx just feels like its gone from the blade a bit too quick, it...

I refuse to do passive blocking even in practice, it is futile and pointless.

Lasta going 'bareback' means something quite different in the UK and has no place on a table tennis forum!!

whilst 05 is faster on attacking strokes, i assume it is easier to block and counter with as its harder presumably it is easier to control incoming power loops as it is less bouncy is this a correct assumption

If I adopt this attitude I think I would use Xiom Solo as my pip hitting is just insane when its on and the look on opponents faces is, wow!! Even if my forehand is about 10% accurate!

I think you are correct BRS. What I need to decide though is what I want. Do I want the best bh pip hitting blade and make compromises on my fh which I think might be the best thing to do. But my fh cost me matches on Saturday, but maybe on a more balanced blade my bh would not have got me...

It is blade dependant too. So I have discovered that part of my problem with my bad pimple hitting was my blade choice. Tibhar Force Pro is really not that good for mid pimple hitting. Xiom Solo is on a different planet of awesomeness for pip hitting, but something about it is playing havoc...

ha ha ha ha, hi Carl!

I just am so surprised on tibhar force pro how different 05fx felt too 05. It might be irrelevant as force pro is weak on bh with my pips, Xiom solo and fextra are both incredible on bh pips. This has improved my bh pip hitting massively. Whether I can control 05 on the fextra is a big...

yes been down that road before tbh

but then a player would need good feet and movement to be correct to play those good shots and i lack this

I tried 05 for the first time tonight on a friends bat, but a bat I am very familiar with. I have often used 05fx most of the last 4 or 5 years. Well it seemed spinnier and more arc on big swings, is this correct in general? It seemed less mushy? It seemed a bit firmer at blocking incoming...

Can we start an Short Pimple/Medium Pimple Clan? Please write a comment about your pips and combination. Can everyone who uses short pimples on bh especially, say which blade they use and why? Best for bh pips? Best for fh topspin, still good for bh pips Balanced between the two. From my...

Lasts long enough. Think it is a bit bouncy at times, but maybe that is what makes it good and bad. It is a beast on Sanwei Fextra!!
