Defeated male should just take the L and leave

That Hugo is so allergic to carbon that he prefers to use a Xylo 7 brings a tear to my eye.

We all know pros don't use same blades as us. So it's not Xylo 7. It's special custom blade with Xylo handle.

Why on earth would anyone make a custom blade with a Xylo 7 handle? 😂

I mean it's Xylo 7 but different plyis thickness, different glue, special wood nobody has. You know this. It was explained here many times. If you don't believe ask Zeio

A few comments popped up after that, with a rare Tieba user taking a liking to the previous prototype!

(He's afraid to even put power into his backhand. I don't know what good this equipment is for)

What weight is it, though?

It’s just a standard commercial blade, there aren’t many of them left but I’m assuming he tried Vitor’s and felt stable with it for now so we hustled to send some more of whatever is left.

 

[JackJohnson]

It’s a Xylo 7 lol

It’s going to be interesting to see what Hugo chooses for his official blade. His previous blade was Koto so switching to Xylo 7 with Limba top instead is not something I expected from him.

To be fair, Xylo's handle is actually great 😅
