That could be really cool if it means a lighter weight D09C

Xiom can't hang onto any of it's players

Any clue when the Hugo Inner ALX / ALXi will be available in the US?

Do you know if those are Limba or Koto?

Get a portable ozone generator. I just used one on a car I bought and it removed all the smells of the previous owner.

I think the 8 is spinnier but also more sensitive to spin than the 7. I think the 8 is a bit better for flicks and has better top end performance and a little bit better ball feel. The 7 is perhaps a bit more stable and easy to use.

Beautiful looking blade. I've never tried Hinoki blades.

Are ALX and ALXi really discontinued? They still show up in all the catalogs. If ALXi is discontinued I'm swearing off of Xiom blades forever. I've been using Xiom ALXi for a couple of years and have developed quite a lot with it. It has a great feel and handle.

This has become a problem with many TT equipment companies. They make a blade for a short amount of time, the blade gets a decent userbase and a good reputation and then they yank the blade off the market. Xiom might be the worst offender but it's become pretty bad across every company other...

My longtime friend and training partner plays Chinese penhold, but over the last years he's developed a lot of wrist pain when training due to tendon strain. Do you know of either: - smaller/reduced headsize C-pen blades - lightweight C-pen blades ? He plays mid distance and is a pretty solid...

What's the head size on the Hugo TMXi?

Has anyone managed to try the Omega 8 Hybrid?

I used to have one with the flared handle and the handle was too big for my hand. The big handle combined with the head heaviness made it hard to hold for me. Nice blade otherwise. Thick core and very powerful.

I'm using this combination on my Xiom ALXi and it's awesome. The weight is very manageable for a hybrid rubber.

Tough to say without doing a direct test but I'd say it's similar speed to Dignics 09C. The tensor effect is more present in this rubber and D09c than compared to pretty much every other hybrid imo. The sponge of O8C feels easy to activate and get quality out of.

Yes, more rebound/throw than C55 I need more time to fully understand this rubber but it seems to me like it's spinnier than O7. Nice rubber and definitely an upgrade to O7 I've only tried the C55. I'm not much interested in the J&H C series as the top sheet is very hard and the rubbers are...

I tried the Omega 8 Pro and Omega 8 China on my backhand and forehand respectively today. I'll review the O8 China real quick: - a little more tackiness than the J&H C55 but less than something like Rakza Z or H3. Id say this is a middle of the road tackiness level. - very easy to use as far...

I use Xero (brand) barefoot shoes. Gets you super low to the ground, and allows your body to use it's natural range of motion. I have tried pretty much every TT shoe brand and none of them even come close to barefoot shoes in terms of comfort and performance.

I often struggle to maintain a low stance/posture while playing and it greatly affects my consistency and quality. Can anyone recommend exercises to help me with this? I do a lot of lower body mobility work which helps, but I feel that maybe my lower back is weak and doesn't allow me to...
