Review of Andro Ligna FR OFF

The Ligna FR has outstanding feeling and control. It's the most controlled OFF blade that i ever tried, definitly way better control then the Viscaria, Garaydia ZLC, Boll Spirit just to mention a few. The shots produced are highly consistent in terms of both pace and ball placement.
The blade produces enough speed to hit outright winners, i'd say it's on pair with the Viscaria at the speed.
The Handle is a bit thin but my hands a re quite big, still i got used to it very fast.
The amount of spin i can produce is just insane! I never made that many straight winners in matches just by spinny balls and serves!
Who ever is searching for a very controlled fast OFF blade should definitly try this one.
Theres a nice review of TableTennisDaily on youtube too.

Review of DHS Hurricane 301

tried it with Xiom Vega Pro and Vega Def 2,0mm on Fh and PimplePark Cluster OX on BH side.
Amazing direct feeling and very good control. The speed variation is great, if you go for power shots it's definitely an off to off+ blade, on blocks and chops with pips it slows down to maybe an all+ blades speed. Spin is on a high level. Compared with Viscaria, Xiom Vega Pro, TB ALC, Stiga Carbonado and many other blades it definitely is my personal favorite blade so far. It can hit as fast as Viscaria and Timo Boll ALC while maintaining the control of Xiom Vega Pro blade and spin potential of the Carbonado blade. And all of that for a way lower price! Think my journey of searching for the perfect blade for my style has an end.
Craftsmanship is good, edges need some sanding and i'd advise to seal the blade, as every other blade too.
I really like the design of the H301 too. My blade is 82g and i think it was 158x151mm head size. Might loose some control and gain speed if u get a heavy blade, but still believe it will be very controllable too.
At professional level of play players might want some blades with more speed and a little less flex, but for average it's great for stepping up form all+ blades without loosing control.

Review of Xiom Vega Pro

i have been testing the vega pro yesterday combined with my normal setup (omega V asia fh and dr.neubauer viper OX bh).
Compareing it to the BTY Viscaria FL which i am useing atm. Speed i would say it's an OFF- blade when rateing the Viscaria as a normal OFF blade, speed feels quite similar to the Stiga Carbonado 145. The Vega Pro doesn't have high vibrabtion at any strokes but still has an amazing touch.
CONTROL!!!! is the description of this amazing blade. even if i was out of position i always got the ball to land where i wanted to.
As for spin i'd say it comes with a high lvl, on pair with the Viscaria, but not as much as with the Stiga Carbonado 145. I will be trying a Vega Japan on the VH with this blade maybe it will make an improve on spin, according to xioms description the omega V asia should be a bit too hard for the Vega Pro blade.
Can't tell much about the pimple play because i didnt play much with my bh this day, but it definitly was very controled too.
Gonna update my review when i got to play more with this amazing blade. Still gonna try the Stradivarius and the Zetro Quad too because thouse sound pretty interesting too.

Review of Xiom Vega Tour

I have played many top blades already strating with Timo Boll Spirit, Viscaria, Garaidya ZLC, Treiber Z, Ligna F.R., Rosskopf Emotion, Carbonado 145+190, Boll ALC and many more, but this one just can't be reached in any aspect by all the other blades i have been useing!
It is really fast, there might be some faster blades but its more then fast enough to hit winners without much effort put in while i still dont have any Problems in keeping the ball short and low over the table. The amount of spin produced is very very good and almost no matter what i do the ball always seems to finds the way on the table! Even with slower blades i overhit way more often!
Playing with Omega V Asia on fh and Bomb Talent OX on bh atm and i dont even feel like needing to change or improve anything, since im playing at my best now.
Highly recommend for everyone that wants a stiff blade with outstanding feeling, dwell and control while maintaining high speed.

Update: I just tested The Hurricane Long 5 and the Jun Mizutani which are nice blades too, but definitly will stick to the Vega Tour, it has the crisper feeling at every shot and seems to be way more versatile. Definitly the best blade available at the moment for everyone that wants to play aggressive shots from every distance while maintaining the option to play high quality touch balls too.
