  1. Vega X weight differences

    its not too uncommon. I dont know the reason behind it. yours is on the really heavy side though. most rubbers i weigh differ up to 5 gram. Same with blades. They can differ alot too. Some brands have some crazy variations (15-20gr). Other brands its very rare to find a blade differ more than...
  2. New Easy blade

    Nice video, thanks for sharing. Most things have been said already so i just add. I would also advocate for a slower blade, id recommend a primorac. The slower blade allows you to get into longer ralleys so you learn more, slows the game and you have more time to react without having to commit...
  3. Mxp-50 boosted or stiga mantra h boosted

    I have tried both, boosted with baby oil. I find mxp50 boosted superior in every aspect. But i prefer the mxp topsheet over the mantra one in general. I also didnt like baby oil on mantra h. Did not feel right to me. Mxp50 felt good on bh too. However id personally did not risk to play it BH in...
  4. Tibhar Evolution MXP or Andro rasanter R47 hard flat strokes

    If you Like the mxp topsheet try Mxp50 for flat hitting. The sponge has small pores. Therefore more direct less catapult.
  5. My Viscaria ST Handle Blade weighs 80 grams

    I could Imagine that the straight Version has hollow handles. Some people on Forums wrote that they they have gotten light ones Like you have. If so you can expect IT to be slower and have more vibrations. But Sometimes the veneers vary in thickness from Blade to blade
  6. Xiom Ice Cream blades, AZX Review

    If its an upgrade is up to your subjective feeling. I can give you a general guideline for your decision process. 1. Ask yourself what it is that bothers you about the boll alc or what it is that you want to upgrade. 2. weigh your blade without rubbers if you know how to glue them to find out...
  7. Xiom Ice Cream blades, AZX Review

    i wouldnt worry about that. High throw rubbers like tenergy on faster composite blades should be fine. but I have not played the icecream blades.
  8. New Butterfly rubber "Dignics 05" 2019

    While i know that i will never pay that much for a rubber as long as all those cheaper and still good peforming alternatives are available, im quite curious how pro players will adapt. I think most Butterfly sponsored players will either change to T05 Hard or dignics 05. Will not sponsored...

    Hello, Has anyone played with aurus and fastarc p1 and is able to give a comparison ? I struggle to find playing impressions of the fastarc p1 in general so i am grateful for any information on that rubber. I have tested G-1 and while it was nice it was a nice the topsheet felt a little to...

    The Natural Progression from the allround Wood could be the allround Evolution or if you want to Go faster the Optimum sync. Both Share the Same composition as the allround Wood but are all little Bit thicker. The Optimum sync is treated. Some of the Others Blades you mentioned (intensity...

    Have you considered to switch to a slower blade? if its too fast and headheavy maybe that could solve your problems.
  13. DHS Hurricane Long 5 + T05 (FH) 2.1mm + Xiom Vega Europe (BH) 2.0mm

    Hey Vik2000. Welcome to the forum. It could be the case that the rubbers werent glued properly. Only way to know would be to reglue with another 1-2 layers on the rubbers and 1 layer on the blade. However the Vega europe can be a little bit under tension and shrink or become a little bit harder...
  14. So bad lose against a veteran player (Match Video) What should I improve?

    probably because his equipment is too fast. I noticed a couple of things after scanning your sets. first off i like your backhand topspin. that one is quite effective if you get to it. Now it appears to me (knowing that you play the HL5) that your equipment is too fast. that is one of the...
  15. Looking for help choosing new blade in off- region

    ive only read the first and last two pages and wanted to pick up on the general discussion with feeling and advice for beginners. But you are right. And i think sealing a primorac is a good idea if it is not too much trouble to do so too. The rubbers really stick to the primorac i own and u have...
  16. Looking for help choosing new blade in off- region

    That is not enough to point out differences. first they should be all about the same weight. second to have any statistical power you would need a really strong correlation and a bigger sample size. third even then its hard to compare because we lack empirical quantification of differences. so...
  17. Looking for help choosing new blade in off- region

    talking about the power of advice. i remember the dominus thread and how everyone told him to just play a slow controlled setup and yet a few month forward he owns 3 different korbels. I get the sensation of a good feeling setup but thats where you drop all your money. as a beginner it doesnt...
  18. DHS Hurricane 3 neo lack speed?

    ejing is fine if you have money and a decent playing level which allows you to evaluate the rubber or blade in a more useful manner. but with forums around it can be really hard as a beginner to know what you want and what you need. So you end up switching betweend hard rubbers, soft ones...
