Something wrong with Xiom Ignato’s data. Maybe in Ep value is mistype?If I want similar in feeling but slower blade? What is your advise? I think about blades with similar composition but with less thickness.Here some of them:1) Neottec “Amagi Carbon”: 80 grams; 5.5 mm; Hinoki-Carbon-Kiri-Carbon-Hinoki.2) Yinhe “T-6”: 80 grams; 5.8 mm; Hinoki-Carbon-Kiri-Carbon-Hinoki.Maybe you have data for this models or can you predict something about them?19:55

The Ep of Ignito is right. The blades you mentioned are not comparable with Xiom Ignito. Xiom Ignito is much thicker and faster blade. (Thickness is around 6.3~6.5mm.)

IGNITO (avg. 80g) : Ep = 2.23, Ec = 2.51 (Ec/Ep = 1.12), Vp = 1.61, Vl = 1.49 (Vl/Vp = 0.93)
that from “Novus” article
2,51/2,33=1,08 not 1,13
from that I think that Ep = 2,23 for Ignito might be correct

Thank you! 2.33 was mistake in typing. 2.23 is correct.

My buddy used to use Ignito but now wants to try a similar feel but slower blade. Could you advise which one to offer him?
LikeLike
In fact, it is very difficult to find the one similar to Ignito but slower, because Ignito is a quite unique blade in current situation.
But, I think that Tibhar IV-L Light can be a solution in this case. It may feel different, but will be adapted soon.

Don’t you have numbers for Tibhar IV-L Light?

Following is the average data of IV-L Light and Smash.
(avg. 77g)
Ep = 1.14
Ec = 1.34 (Ec/Ep = 1.17)
Vp = 1.21
Vl = 1.09 (Vl/Vp = 0.90)

I think you you meant “IV-L Light Contact”? According to Tibhar catalogue IV-L Light Contact is lighter but faster than Smash. And both of them have 4-ply construction, is it correct? And what is your thoughts about Xiom “Allround S” as slower substitute of Xiom Ignito?
LikeLike
Sometimes table tennis makers write different indices to actually same products. It is sometimes due to deviation, and sometimes just for differentiating products. Smash is the low cost version of IV-L Light Contact, and for that reason the blade constructions of those two are 100% identical. But, probably the quailty of IV-L Light Contact is better. We can think that the quality is the only on factor that differentiate those two products. (And, in my opinion, the quality of Smash isn’t bad although it is cheap.)
Allround S is much thinner than Ignito. And, probably the playing style should be greatly adjusted if Ignito is replaced by Allround S.

Hello!
Can you predict which blade is faster, Xiom Ignito or Andro Treiber FI OFF or FO OFF/S?
I want to try a blade with Hinoki top ply but not extremely fast.
Maybe you can suggest another model?
LikeLike
There will not be much difference if the player just pulls the ball by the surface of rubber. But, if the hitting angle becomes flatter, Ignito will make faster ball. I don’t have data of two andro blades, but because of the kind of fiber, those two can’t be highly elastic. The speed is expected to be moderate, while Ignito is a fast blade without doubt.
