  1. China Smash 2024, Beijing, 9/26-10/6

    Oh man, a real local league smash-net-edge from Dima there at the end of game 2. That's a sickener for ZQ.
  2. China Smash 2024, Beijing, 9/26-10/6

    Hahaha his interview. Instant legend.
  3. XIOM C55 Impressions and Comparison with H3N

    I've had more sessions with it now. Comparisons aside - it's a really good rubber, offering a great combination of drive power and spin on brushy shots. It feels direct at times - it's still a hard rubber and there isn't loads of low-end catapult. It gives it a tight feel overall, which does...
  4. Friendship 2-in-1 new sponge?

    Depends on your own personal preference I think. I like soft outer on bh, hard outer on fh, when close in. But I've always preferred softer rubbers on my bh side so that makes sense (or became a self fulfilling prophecy).
  5. Tibhar Hybrid K3 FX

    My sheet is Red, 2.0mm, 63.1g uncut.
  6. XIOM C55 Impressions and Comparison with H3N

    I've got 10 hours in the bank with C55 now. It's very spinny, hard, linear. I can see where the H3 comparisons would come from based on that, but I don't think it's a good comparison really. This is definitely more on the hard esn hybrid side of the fence - I think the older hybrids like K1...
  7. WTT Champions Macao 2024, 9/9-15

    This Gauzy match is worth a watch, some amazing stuff going on.
  8. XIOM C55 Impressions and Comparison with H3N

    My sheet arrived this morning, 2.1mm, black, 72.5g uncut. Only very, very slightly tacky at the moment. My favorite hybrid is still Rasanter C53, will be interesting to see how it compares....
  9. Review - Xiom Vega Pro H

    Could be production differences I guess, or terminology, but Xiom describe it as a sticky hybrid, it comes with the usual ESN hybrid protection sheet, and if I press down on it with my hand it feels slightly tacky (unlike original Vega Pro, which is obviously just grippy). Just like your 09c...
  10. Review - Xiom Vega Pro H

    Yes it is. Slightly tacky, similar to your Glayzer 09c.
  11. Paris Olympic Games 2024

    An amazing match, shame one has to lose after all that.
  12. Paris Olympic Games 2024

    Maybe, or maybe China won't be in the men's final at all. Anything could happen. Taylor Swift releases a surprise album the night before the semis and boom.

    Noshad is really messing Harimoto's rhythm up
  14. Paris Olympic Games 2024

    Woooooo what a result
  15. Paris Olympic Games 2024

    I don't speak or understand German but I've joined you....
  16. Friendship 2-in-1 new sponge?

    I had a further session over the weekend with them. They do react well to booster and it made a noticeable difference, I could use either of them on the FH side now. They're too tacky for my BH side, I don't think any amount of booster would resolve that for me. The soft-first definitely has...
  17. Friendship 2-in-1 new sponge?

    Yeah, I've accepted that there's no blade fast enough so I've slapped seamoon onto them now. I'll give them a try when boosted over the weekend.
  18. Friendship 2-in-1 new sponge?

    I've had a couple of sessions with these rubbers now, first on my regular Synteliac VCI, and then on the fastest blade I have - an outer ZLC. In each session the overriding impression I had was - very slow. There is a difference between the two versions - the hard-first sponge (i.e. closer to...
  19. Friendship 2-in-1 new sponge?

    They have arrived. Came in a sealed package, quite smelly once released from their plastic prison. I have Red 37/39 and Black 39/37, both weigh 69g uncut,164mm x 164mm. Topsheets are tacky, you can see from the images that the "layers" of sponge aren't evenly distributed (although I...
  20. Friendship 2-in-1 new sponge?

    If you look at the packaging, both 729 and KTL are mentioned...a collaboration perhaps? Igor might call it a deal with the devil ;-)
