Calibra Tour H vs OIV Pro vs MX-P for FH?

Hi,

I am considering switching from Xiom Omega IV pro on my FH to something else.
I am looking for something which has nearly the same speed and (if not better) spin and a bit higher throw.

I am considering Calibra Tour H and MX-P. I have switched to Calibra Tour M on BH and I really enjoy the added control it provides.

Do you suggest trying any more rubbers? (No Butterfly please, too costly)
Suggestions along with the where I can buy them from would be welcome. Comparison to any of M2, OIV Pro, Sigma Euro, Sigma Pro, T05, Acuda S2, Roxon 450, Razka 7 would be helpful.

I haven't heard from anyone using Tour H and many MX-P users say that its a touch hard for looping so I would like to get a second opinion.

Playing style: I loop from both wings. My BH loop is mostly an opening loop after which I try to switch to FH. I try to loop everything I can. Last time I competed I was between 1900 - 2000 and my game has improved  a (tiny) bit since.
Its just that I've been playing with OIV Pro for nearly 1 year now and would like to try out something better.

Thanks

but is it any better. Or do I stick with OIV Pro?

I read in your review that the Tour H had pretty good looping capabilities and decent spin. How does it compare to MX-P? Also, is it any lighter than MX-P?

how about africa e.g tunisia ,egypt ,saudi arabia

i live now in egypt t energy is about 380 egyptian punds while mx-p for example 260 egyptian pounds as well as donic ,yasaka,stiga ....etc

T05 is too fancy for my 1800 level though and that's why I am eying toward the Rhyzm that is not so less expensive ($46 at dandoy but $56 at pp), just better for what I do I hope; still need to try it out; anybody can sell me a used piece of it? ; I am biting my fingers over not buying a couple of them from Dandoy when the super25 coupon was active; $33 for a sheet of Rhyzm was a good deal I was silly to pass.

"Hey, the Tenergy price in Egypt is actually really reasonable"

no matt it isnot calculated like that

the average income in egypt is about 1000-1500 L.E /month

so 380 per rubber is really expensive

however in saudi arabia for example it is 280 saudi ryals  (average income there for foreigns  is 4000-4500 S.R)

did u catch the difference ?

In addition to this, a lot of players spend a ton of money trying to find a replacement which they could have spend on a ton of Tenergy sheets. Just saying...

In India, OIV Pro costs Rs 2200 ($36) while T05 costs around Rs 4200 ($67). Thats a huge price difference bro.
This is partly due to Butterfly distributors being big retailers while other brands are mostly sold by smaller retailers too.

the tour H has decent looping spin but the mx-p is spinnier. the tour h uncut was lighter than the mx-p uncut. the tour series in general are more suited on counter hitting and hitting flat, the mx-p even away from the table is good on a counter looping game and a spin based game

Try nexy.com, they're selling it for $41 and they're placed in Korea. Shipping around $18 and 3-5 days.
