First observations after 2 sessions, one with D80/D64 and one with DNA Pro H/Factive.

I agree with everything that was mentioned above. Deep Soft feeling like all wood. And Crisp/stiff feeling because of Koto. And yes the finish was great smooth all around the handle and faces. The blade is fast. I don't think it should be rated as Off-, but rather Off+.

I don't think its reasonable to rate the blade Off+. That would be in the category of Schlager Carbon, Super ZLC blades etc. - those blades are definitely significantly faster than the Calderano blade. I do agree that the blade is likely more OFF than OFF- thou, but that will also very much depend on your stroke etc.

This blade is koto and feel like limba, sometimes I dont like trajectory from short game in limba topply but I miss this softy feeling.
michael maze alc is soft very bouncy and agressive blade, but short game is bad
Hugo calderano sal is special in this area because it is soft, not mushy, handle is pleasure to hold but it has stiffness from material membrane like very popular zhang jike alc but with less speed it has special soft feel in short game but you can imagine how easy arylate gives you straight bounce from blade. You can see how best players on pressure are playing with straight rebound like it was nothing . Fan zhendong, Calderano, Pitchford, Gauzy, Ma Long. You call that sweet spot, I call that guidance system of controlling ball. When you play with this blade you dont care about your position of blade angle in blocking and short game because you know that you put the ba ll on other side and if you match this with dignics 09c or rasanter 37 This will be like new type of perfect amateur equipment because I hear info from Dima about 09c and looks legit with this automatic throw angle and dont care about Dima but I had Rasanter r37 and has very very easy rebound so if you dont believe Dima, Rasanter put you in control zone system but it will be too soft for serious players so I put Dima words on the table because everybody loves butterfly rubbers. I had first time 729 08 pro on forehand and this rubber is not super tacky but has easy sticking feel on the ball, very good rotation but too slow and Im not chinese rubber lover. On backhand I had 05 and really loved trajectory. I have very good backhand so this is best combination for me. This blade is made for 05 players. Sorry Xiom but you made butterfly players more powerful. I think butterfly players dont care about Xiom blades so sorry butterfly players, you lose here too much, feeling, spin, and everything. I put rakza 7 and fastarc g1 second time, I feel characteristic speed release but only in hard shots, the funny subject in this blade is when you play slow your ball is straight but arc is low so opponent has problems with blocking but when you put maximum effort in spin and your wrist will be moving more in upward way the ball will have more curve trajectory but arc is still be low like in professional video shots so there is massive spin or massive illusion or fastarc g1 is recommended for forehand. Handle absorption is good technology for amateurs, because when you play with butterfly spark bazelart or innerforce al you can feel big vibration and sometimes its annoying here u cant feel handle vibration but more quality of handle and more feeling when rubber touch the plastic ball so this is more personal attitude and love for old balls I enjoyed ZLC material more than ALC but curve trajectory of ZLC and dead feeling sometimes makes me fool,... short game, backhand flick this is not good material for this type of game. Alc is easier in this area and easier to pick rubbers on arylate Any cons? Price, small resell value, soon discountined and my bad english. And I dont know what xiom rubbers will be good here. So I will stick to g1 and 05 maybe too slow for off+ lovers for me this is slower version of zhang jike alc with better feeling and this is blade for guys who loves hard rubber or spin high throw rubber and play more touch shots with different tempo Edited by andzejgolot - 07/01/2020 at 10:22pm |
