Hi all, I have two Xiom Zetro Quad blades. One of them feels super crip and awesome, the other one sort of feels like a brick. Why is that? ------------- Current Setup: TBS FH T80/BH D80 Official USATT Rating 1815 Current estimated level: 1800-1900. |

Inconsistency in the quality of wood? It makes a difference when and where the plies come from, especially because this blade has so many layers. I really liked this blade when I got to try a friend's! ------------- Xiom Omega IV Euro | Freitas ALC | Xiom Omega IV Euro https://tinyurl.com/yaoh8suu" rel="nofollow - Feedbacks |

thats why you have technology to measure stiffness and weight |

So how exactly do you measure stiffness in particular at home? ------------- OSP Ultimate; Dr. Neubauer Dominance Spin Hard max, Dr. Neubauer Troublemaker 0.5 http://mytabletennis.net/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=55835&title=feed-back-for-matt-pimple" rel="nofollow - My Feedback |

It doesn't matter. Keep the heavier one, discard the other one. use the one you picked forever. |

This is very common across many companies. I remember owning a Stiga Ebenholz V that I got in a 79 gms range from TT11 and it turned out to be a piece of crap. I had bought the Ebenholz only because a friend of mine had a really nice one at about the same weight range (which was interesting) and it played completely differently than mine. I got rid of it.  ------------- Butterfly Viscaria FL FH - Undecided BH - Undecided |

the manufacturer must measure the stiffness so the blades can be close in terms of playability |

I have had that experience with pretty high end blades like Viscaria. So when you find one you like, keep it forever and never change. |

The idea for the second one was to have a second blade for trying out new rubber and to simply have a back up. ------------- Current Setup: TBS FH T80/BH D80 Official USATT Rating 1815 Current estimated level: 1800-1900. |

| I know. One reason I have had so many Viscaias was trying to find a second one as good as my favorite one. I spent a lot on blades I dont use. But I did eventually succeed. |
