  1. Xiom Omega VII Asia, Vega Tour and Vega DEF available...

    The O7P was a revelation ! Are there any similarities at all between the 3 Omegas ? Is there a common feeling anywhere ?
  2. Xiom Omega VII Asia, Vega Tour and Vega DEF available...

    Many thanks for the review The topsheet is softer & grippier than O7A's ? The characteristic "waves" of O7P are still there on the surface ? Is it more spin sensitive than O7P on receives ? Have you check weight the O7T after cutting it to a Xiom blade ? Which of the three Omegas has the more...
  3. Your Favorite Table Tennis Setup/ Dream Set Up

    For me, all the fun is about spin. The "spin everything" culture is something that must inspired by the blade first. I adore the Xiom Feel ZX3 above over 40-45 blades I've used and enjoying testing rubbers on it.
  4. Best Blade for each type of Playing?

    Sorry, unfortunately first time user of Xiom rubbers with the ΩVII PRO but very impressed.
  5. Best Blade for each type of Playing?

    No! It is not so balanced as Vega Tour, but a very different feel. Unique experience. So much FUN ​ I don't know why is so much different, but the upper hinoki ply has a glass-like smoothness and the handles are carved inside.
  6. Best Blade for each type of Playing?

    Quite accurate description ! Sorry for the OFF-TOPIC, I'm very curious for your thoughts about the FEEL ZX3 if you ever give it a chance. Although not for the majority of players ... (BTW do you know any professional who uses hinoki?) ZX3 gives a viciously nonlinear hinoki lovely feeling with...
  7. Best Blade for each type of Playing?

    I'm always looking for max spin and I don't understand why the Limba has such a reputation. Perhaps they mean just lazy loops, while I mean real top spin by brushing.

    Thank you Andy for your response. I have a ZX3 of 90gr going to 188gr with O7P both sides, and another of only 82gr in it's box yet. I'm reluctant about the second and can't decide as yet. I think waiting for some reviews is a good idea, in the meantime O7P provides enough comfort to the heavy...
  10. Xiom Omega VII Asia, Vega Tour and Vega DEF available...

    As you see, I'm using always the same rubber both sides. My searching is about a crispier rubber. Perhaps I'm used to it, or the Hinoki of my blade requires a harder rubber. (although the O7P's absorbing effect is cool, it is not familiar and needs some adaptation, but it is not unstable or...

    Great Andy! But, have you tried before such a great difference in hardness between BH/FH ? Some say this can cause weird vibrations. I like O7P on BH overall, and on FH has great full body top spin especially on underpin, but somehow I'm missing the crispy active block of MX-P, (although the...
  12. Speed from blade or rubber?

    Well, ... you'll have to choose your blade very very carefully. It has to favor and match your style exactly, otherwise no rubber can fix this compromise. By choosing an effortlessly exciting -( not boring and thus limiting your opportunities )- blade, that you can handle naturally and then...
  13. Difference between better and worse players?

    Some blade/rubber setups can't help to discover feeling. Discipline on training makes the most difference. When you're not playing for fun, but enforce your self for precision. Then, your body automatically responds keeping the memory of practice.
  14. I am good at training matches but I am so bad in competition

    * Loose grip * Serve & step back * Hit & relax
  15. Qatar Open 2018

    Hugo is of my favorite players ... but FZD is a new first seen terraform kind of beasty species. An unthinkable monster who is still growing and most likely we ain't seen nothing yet ! I strongly believe he is going to elevate the sport to another level for the generations to come.

  18. Cutting the rubber

    Thank you langel I've just realized, I must break down the razor in the middle and use the half part :o LOL
  19. Cutting the rubber

    Langel Do I'll have to work slowly, cutting only a couple of millimeters each time? Pushing the razor deep cutting the sponge & the pimple part at once? I remember 2 years back, when I have to cut the Rising Dragon (which was my first try since 1986), I've draw a curve with a permanent marker...
