My First Tournament with the Nexy Spartacus

Hi everyone! I've been inactive for a while, but I just played my fiirst tournament with my new setup:
Blade: Nexy Spartacus
FH: Evolution FX-P
BH: Nexy Elpis

I played under 2000 and 1540. Although I did not advance past the round robin in the 2000s, I won the 1750s! Here are my thoughts on the setup:

- If you setup for your shot correctly, there is no way you are going to miss. The setup is consistent, so there won't be many unforced errors.
- On the backhand close to the table (it has a slower Chinese style rubber) you need to generate your own speed looping against underspin. For me, at least, this is not a problem. I have been working on my backhand loop for a while now, and I feel like this will really make me learn the stroke, and allow me to make it really powerful.
- Counterlooping, fishing, lobbing, anything away from the table is simply AMAZING. I switched from the Viscaria to this, and this is, if anything, better. The throw is higher, the speed is better while there is MUCH more control, and there is perfect placement.

I'm really happy about the switch so far/ Thanks so much!!!

Darn, I knew I should have fought harder. I never should have let AGold get that blade from me.

Now he's learning the value of a controlled offensive setup and I'll never catch up to him.

How do you like the Evolution FX-P? What does it play like in comparison to the Tenergy you used to have on BH and the H3 you used to have on FH?

That blade did feel pretty nice to me. Glad you got it set up with rubbers that work for your game development.

Winning U-1750 is pretty darn good. Your level is going up.

I asked Ludovich and he said he sees you sometimes at Wang Chen's still and that your skills are going up. [emoji2]

Now I just have to figure out how to get that setup away from you to use it myself. Hahaha

Haha thanks . I really like the FX-P on the forehand. I don't know how much of it is te blade, but it seems easier than the Hurricane. I haven't really tried it on backhand.
