Comment on XIOM Professional Classic Aigis DEF blade by Dancer in the dark

Xiom Aigis is a very soft blade (not medium hard) and it is very flexible too. It has a hollow feeling and vibrates very heavilly (also with softer rubbers). Dwell-time is high and you can make great spin with it, especially far off the table.

You’re right. The guy in the black is tossing the ball backward and not very high. But I’ve noticed the ball is often not thrown vertically even with top players.

Comment on Dr.Neubauer Fighter long pips Review by Defender

For me the fighter is not classic pips. That is hard to return ball after strong topspin. Block is good for weak tops. I have tried with sponge.

Comment on Donic Dotec Persson OFF- table tennis blade Review by Chris Holton

I have been using this blade for three weeks. I pulled the rubber off my DONIC waldner ultra carbon blade so I could compare “apples to apples” LKT pro XT 2.2 blk. forehand…friendship “729″ 1.5 red back hand. the top spin loops have more spin. against chops and top spins, mainly because it is a non carbon blade. back hands are a dream, my grip stays the same and I can crack the ball harder and quicker because of the grip. smashes went into the net at first…but..!…after a little time I am able to quick hit and flat hit a lot stronger than before. this blade is a little slower right off the bounce ( non carbon) but has more top speed, my waldner blade was slower hitting long balls. over all I would never go back to a wood handle again, this DOTEC blade is the future, get one in your hands and you will enjoy the game a lot more. (my rating is 1766) as of 1991. I will be getting current this summer after a 21 year break. practicing 15 hours a week.
