Xiom 36.5 ALX rubber

tt_beginner · Aug 15, 2020

I've been playing with the Xiom Solo blade for a few years now using the Reactor Tornado 5 rubber, tried a cheap carbon hybrid blade, liked the feel and speed of it

was thinking of getting the 36.5, what rubber would be great pair for it? Vega Pro?

thanks!

Depends on your level but i have played with 36.5 with vega x, vega pro and vega japan with no problem at all.

thanks for the reply, what is the biggest difference between the 3 rubbers?

Vega japan is the slowest, vega x is more durable and by my estimate the fastest of the 3 with a small difference compared to vega pro. Vega japan is the easiest to loop.

thank you so much for the explanation, I never considered vega Japan, I'll check on these more

Vega Japan is underated. It is much spinnier than Vega Pro bit slower.

I also find Vega Japan to be easier and more fun to play than Vega Pro and Vega Asia DF which I own as well. Haven't tried the X though.....

thank you guys for the replies, i went for the Vega Japan , the X and Pro might be too fast for me

Please do tell us about it after you have played with the combo.

yes I will, should take a week, they only got max thickness, but shouldn't be a problem , I only realized I've been playing with max rubbers all along lol

Take your time. There's no need to rush with the feedback.

You will need to give time to adapt to this new setup and at least a few good sessions to really open up the blade.

thanks, eagerly awaiting the ALX, in the meantime , I just realized I basically learned playing table tennis using the Solo, and just picked it because it had high marks at a low cost, also the Reactor Tornado v5 rubber because it was amongst the cheapest

no consideration if the blade was fast or the rubber was hard or soft lol

I had no idea before about all these stuff, I wondered before why my balls were all going out when I first started

I basically started from zero, had to learn the correct strokes [emoji28]
