  1. Best glue to assemble rubbers?

    Gewo Hydrotec. sometimes I use BTY Free Chack.
  2. Xiom An JaeHyun TMXi blades + Jykell & Hyde Z/H review

    when I got it I got it with China Guang fitted on forehand and Omega Euro V on backhand. changed it, because I couldn't connect with China Guang, or better put - China Guang overplayed me. for this rubber, you have to play daily to be able to pull everything out it has to offer. which I would...
  3. Xiom Vega Hybrid Rubbers

    I've been playing with Vega Hybrid series a couple of times now ... two practice sessions and one league match. I fitted Pro H on forehand and Euro H on backhand, at least that was the plan. I realised I like Euro H more on forehand and Pro H more on backhand, but I think this is also related to...
  4. Xiom An JaeHyun TMXi blades + Jykell & Hyde Z/H review

    I have this combo now (with Vega Euro H on other side) and cannot get rid of the feeling that Euro H is better fit. Pro H seems to be a bit ... harsh ... it plays nice, but feeling is better with Vega Euro H. it was pretty much the same when I tried Omega V Europe, Vega Asia DF and Vega Tour...
  5. How does one become a training partner for national team members?

    forgot to say, I could already see it in the first video, in the right corner in the back ... amazing! I always liked to play doubles, basically got my best results in doubles ... :p
  6. How does one become a training partner for national team members?

    wow, no wonder we are lagging in Europe ... :p joking, probably, it's same in other high-quality places around the world, but one thing I never seen is practicing doubles with multiball, that's a thing I have never seen before ... we did practice against single player, but never in multiball...
  7. New Genextion V2C (Hybrid) from Nittaku

    topsheet looks quite thick, so better for short play and not as bouncy? good control, too?
  8. How does one become a training partner for national team members?

    quite the contrary - it was always one of the coaches feeding the multiball, because it was also a process of fixing the mistakes ... because sometimes, hard repetition is needed to fix some deeply embedded mistakes in stroke techniques. sometimes when you are in a drill, at the beginning it is...
  9. How does one become a training partner for national team members?

    well ... I was semi-professional / professional - the only thing I couldn't do, was feed multiball. have no idea why, I just couldn't do it. and I am not the only one ... in my club, maybe 2-3 players out of what, 15-20 were able to do it properly ... so I think it's not such an easy task ...
  10. Xiom Vega Hybrid Rubbers

    I have a Vega Pro H and Vega Euro H on TMXi at the moment for testing. I have no idea, why I prefer Euro H on FH and Pro H on backhand … 😂 but still, I do like the setup, rubbers really do offer a lot of feel and control. speed is not a problem, I can generate plenty of power on my own, also...
  11. Donic Bluegrip

    thanks for this. when I was around 12 years old my dad (he was a tt coach) got me a Friendship rubber and put it on my backhand, because I had some problems with contact and control and this rubber helped me a lot back then (even though at the time I hated it so much). maybe I will go down the...
  12. Donic Bluegrip

    never played with Tenergy, but played a lot with Bluegrip C2 & S1. good rubbers, C2 is a bit on heavier side, but it didn’t bother me. it surprised me when I learned C2 has 55 sponge because it plays softer, a lot softer. spin is great, control for the speed on offer is great. but -...
  13. Be honest guys: you don't need carbon blades

    interesting topic ... I mean, most of my competing career I played with carbon or arylate blade. not, because I would need the speed, far from it - actually, blades were OFF or even OFF-, but I like the feel that carbon or especially in Moonbeam's case, arylate gives. it dampens the vibration...
  14. Xiom Omega 8?

    is that 170g? that is super light, would love to have such setup! but I can't get mine under 180g no matter the rubber combo ... with O8P and VPH which I am trying now it's 185g ...
  15. Xiom Omega 8?

    I can give you an excellent one, with 45 degree sponge: Donic BlueGrip S1. and after all the kerfuffle with Omega VIII Pro, I am really tempted to switch back to this rubber. great for BH, can be used for FH, too …
  16. Xiom Omega 8?

    after reading your review, it seems I made a mistake and should go for the Omega 8 China ... :ROFLMAO:
  17. Xiom Omega 8?

    yes, tmxi, correct. I agree, it's much better on backhand - intention was to use it for forehand but seems to be working better for backhand. would prefer a thinner version for BH but it is what it is ... but the feeling this rubber has, even though the sponge is mega-thick, is unreal! maybe...
  18. Xiom Omega 8?

    playtested even more today and I can say that I "shook hands" with Omega 8 Pro, we are getting acquainted, but am affraid we'll never be friends, much less best friends. it does give you great feeling, though, it's really good feeling when you hit the ball, it's just that 2in1, ice&fire factor...
  19. Xiom Vega Tour Review

    well, I pulled the trigger and bought Xiom Vega Tour. I was going back and forth and back and forth ... and after two good hours of practice I can only say - what a rubber!! I am playtesting the Omega 8 Pro currently as well, plan was for O8P to be FH rubber and VT to be backhand, but after a...
  20. Gewo Codexx Superselect Pro 55 vs Dignics 09c

    I playtested Dignics09c once. it wasn't on my blade, unfortunately, but when I saw the sponge hardness I just couldn't believe it, it plays much softer. i.e., I played quite a lot with Xiom Omega VII China Guang and sponge hardness is similar but O7CG plays much much harder. Donic BlueGrip C2...
