Anyone know anything about xiom tau ii?
Its on the list of approved rubbers. Tau I isnt even there anymore. I guess they discontinued that with sigma 1s. http://www.ittf.com/ittf_equipment/Racket_Coverings1_print_all.asp |

should be an improved version of Tau, obviously.
Can anyone compare it with OVAsia? I like OVA a lot.

Im using ovP atm. I want tack on my fh. The tau was much more tacky than vega china and asia. I hope tau 2 is at least as tacky as hurricane. Any kind of info at this point would be helpful

how long does the Tau tack stay? my experience was about 1 month on the commercial H3 and TinArcs then they lost all aspects of performance.

Sigma iii wow. I loved sigma 2 pro on my bh. Super durability of near 2 years.
My skyline which is supposed to be less tacky than hurricane, and she is a month and half plus. Still as tacky as out of the pack. Hurricane tack can last up to a year and beyond if you wipe with water after playing. I am rephrasing what I have read about tau from popular demand. Currently looking to buy it.

I wiped mine always after each play, still lost the tacks
can yours pick up a ball completely for 1 second after a firm press on it?

Yeahh I definately can.
Had you used plastic protectors? I use regular protectors even thought I have sticky protectors from my vega pro. Edited by asifgunz - 06/24/2015 at 2:11pm |

Ziplock bag should be fine. Just make sure that the topsheet is stuck to the bag surface.

Wow. Thats crazy. Sorry to hear that man.
I have had two sheets of h3 for 2 years+ and one tg3 neo. Not even one gave me problems. |

Theyre very very very, different lol.
Neo is perfect on table but I feel that it lacks driving power from 5 ft off table. Dont get me wrong, you can probably win the point by spinning it against lower tier players. With NCTTA coming up, I want to leave my mark in the team standings. Hence looking for tau or tau II. |

good luck on NCTTA, let me know if its open to public, I'll come root for you.
Get germany made rubbers if you are competing, relying on TG3 is like gambling red/black.

Haha, definately! yeah its open to anyone to come watch games.
I used to use omega iv pro and sigma ii pro both on fh. Theyre great rubbers but I was having to play passive. I think you have a point there about tg3 neo having double personalities. I just got home from a session. First day back after summer college. I was getting tired easily from playing while fasting. Takes a huge toll on your body. Started noticing random ball drops. Heck it even slipped on me a few times. Need to switch out of it asap! Edited by asifgunz - 06/26/2015 at 9:48pm |

I will update you with info as soon AS i receieve it. And my college , ccny got invited to train at FIT . They recently got a chinese player from Fan zhen dong's practice team. 2300 Chinese rating. Probably a 2500ish here. I want to see how well I par up against her :D |

A 2300 Chinese rating for women is pretty much a player representing a respectable club or province. Good luck! |

I used Xiom Tau I back when I used to play with inverted on both sides. It was just too damn hard. I had a hardtime getting the ball to penetrate into the sponge. When you could enact the sponge, it was a beast. Hopefully Tau II will be softer.

Thank you eric. Did you find it to be harder than chinese rubbers? Hurricane or skyline?

Tau I was harder than untuned hurricane 3. It's was nearly the hardest rubber I've ever tried. Of the top of my head I can't think of any that were harder. I found that tuned hurricane 3 provincial was very nice. I just didn't wanna fool with tuning all the time.
