New Xiom Blades Series: Hugo Calderano and Lee Seungsoo (TMX / ALX)

[Arkady]

Bulk discount my man. Buy 300 euro worth of stuff and it applies 30% off.

Hm, that's odd. I only see 25% as maximum discount.

Maybe it's geographic dependent. I'm in the US and get 30% off with 300 euro

Most probably, that's it.
Used to be 30% off with 300€ for Europe as well, but it was a long time ago since they've ceased this discount.

My Hugo ALX has arrived. 87g, 1520hz.
Sadly, seems like I lost again in terms of blade lottery. My blade has a scratch on the forehand side, a few centimeters long (see picture)

If I slide my finger over it, it is easily noticeable that there is a „dent“

I am so annoyed by this for obvious reasons, other than the long scratch the build quality seems great. I will send the blade back of course and get a refund, its ironic to call the blade „pro, supreme“ whatever and then allow such an obvious flaw on your product

not sure if I will try to get a replacement on my hands since its hard to find 87g+ hugo alx, but we will see

sorry guys, review wont happen for now.
and hopefully, you will be more lucky than me with your new blade 🙏

Wow 1520 hz is quite something for an alc blade with 87g

in what way? I remember my old 83g 36.5alx to have a similar frequency (~1500hz)

 

[gottalain]

The Alx of mine are both over 1500 hz (83 and 84 gr), the tmxi (85 gr) is 1467 hz. (with spectroid app). One of the Alx koto is partly fishscaled. Will play with them on tuesday.

What's the head size on the Hugo TMXi?

Ah ok, so frequency wies the new Hugo tmxi is a copycat of ajh tmxi normal version and not the pro version (which was much lower!)

 

[Yurifi]

what do this frequencies tell us? never bothered with this and am curious ... and how do you measure this?

thx

 

[Creek]

Frequency gives a tendency about the blades stiffness and base speed.
It is not accurate and therefore it is really only about a tendency

 

[z0uLess]

Since Xiom Hugo HAL had a ST handle with 28mm width and 23mm thickness, I hope that they are sticking to the same dimensions with this

 

[Arkady]

It measures the natural vibrational frequency (in Hz or MHz) of the blade when it is tapped or struck—usually measured with specialized equipment or even smartphone apps using the blade's sound.

The higher the frequency, the stiffer the blade, the lower the dwell time and the faster the rebound.

 

[doppelmoral]

Ah ok, so frequency wies the new Hugo tmxi is a copycat of ajh tmxi normal version and not the pro version (which was much lower!)

though they added the terms „pro“ and „surpreme“ to the new hugo tmxi, which is confusing.

Sad to hear the ajh pro version will have no replacement

 

[TIME]

Love to hear your review after you get them, cause I've been playing with AJH TMXi as well for over 2 years, and I haven't played any other blade that I like so much!
PS How did you get a 30% discount from tt11? The max volume discount is 25% and they don't have Hugo TMXi Pro in their Special Offers

I just put two of the new Hugo TMXi Pro blades in my cart and it gave me the 30% discount at checkout.

 

[mamedium]

how does the Hugo tmxi pro play with tacky hard rubbers? has anyone tried?

 

[Arkady]

That's very odd. They must offer 30% only to USA customers.
As you can see for Europe max discount is 25%.

If it's not too much trouble, please take a screenshot of the cart with 30% discount.
