Review of Nittaku Meister Basaltec OuterFirst and foremost, this is an exquisite piece of TT art. Starting with the box which has a sliding panel that retracts as you draw the tray holding the blade out and continuing to the spectacular straight grained spruce of the outer layer and the attractive multi-piece handle with laser etching. Every edge you touch is beveled and polished. The ST handle is asymmetric with a thinner piece on the forehand side and a thicker rounder piece on the BH. I found my thumb resting perfectly on the tapered part of the handle and had a more solid grip than any other ST handle I've tried.The sense of luxury continues when you start playing. The sweet spot is large and even the edge provides enough power to stay in the rally. I liked the sound and feel as it was nice and woody. There is a lot to like about this blade. The speed is pretty good but the hardest hits don't have the same catapult effect as carbon or Zylon/carbon which makes the results more predictable so I gave it a very high control score. I originally used DHS NEO rubber on this but I don't think that's the best fit as the combo feels a bit dead. Rasant and Tenergy were both a big improvement with Rasant getting the nod as my favorite. The target customer for this blade is well employed, appreciates craftsmanship and has a controlled offense game. Works well with Tenergy or Tensor rubber for loop, smash and drive but is pretty stiff so people used to more flex will need to adjust. Update: I put the blade away for a while after this review. Recently I took it out and put some Donic Acuda S1 Turbo on my BH and it was a brilliant match. The speed of the rubber makes for fantastic put away shots and the control of the blade keeps the placement sharp. I can easily adjust spin and power as needed. Oct 02, 2014 | |||||||||||||||

Review of Xiom Vega ProI love this versatile blade. The consistency and control are rare in a blade that is capable of extreme speed. My attacks are faster and more consistent and the extreme control and forgiveness encourage me to play sharper angles.If Xiom finished sanding the edges and handle this would be a 10.
