What is the weight of your bo2x?

I asked for a 90g blade, just to be average. But im sorta regretting not asking for a lighter one. Do you think it matters much?

Mine is 88g. I would have liked a heavier blade... maybe 91-93 range because they feel more whole. Not to say that 88g feels hollow I just like the heavier feel of blades.

Weight doesn't bother me. I've hit with a setup that 205g, and i thought that it was a little heavy, but it was fine. It's personal preference. I like my blades head heavy, and in addition- heavy in general.

With B2 however, it's more like HL5 where it's more head heavy compared to the X versions which are more balanced.

I have two HL5 - one is 89g and the other 91g and there is little I can tell between them, to me they are both right around where I like them and lead to a total bat weight of 193-196g. They don't feel heavy to me and are very balanced.

I wanted to address the spin issue that Pongprofessor stated in his review, and that something i also agreed with.

I recently boosted my H8 mid-hard, and I think that the B2X needs to have a softer rubber on the forehand. I typically use around 40deg (DHS scale) and found that it was difficult to spin with. Having a boosted rubber works like a charm because it's generally softer and it's a lot easier spin because of it. I also feel like since my rubber was softer it helped me unlock that extra power/ helped me activate the carbon more.

I'd say if you go unboosted, go for 39/38 deg for forehand
Boosted would be 41-40 and then boosting would soften it up.
