Do xiom rubbers carry a lifetime warranty because on the rubber cover, it has "lifetime" written on it but I'm
Not sure what it's pertaining to. I tried looking it up but it doesn't say anything about it. |

it's a trademark name LifeTime+ it suggests that the 'Tensor' with the 'LifeTime+ ' logo should last longer than normal tensor rubber. if it has lifetime warranty i would receive free rubber from them every 4 months, since i change my xiom rubber every 4 months due to wear. i play about 10-12hours a week ------------- RSM Special Platinum T64 |

i have never bought Tenergy before, i have only used it thru a friend. at first, i noticed that the tenergy 05 has a higher throw. I cannot tell you anything about the weight... BTW my friend uses tenergy 05 on FH and BH. my spin rating Tenergy 05=Omega IV pro>sigma euro>sigma pro Sigma is meant to be a better version of omega iv but not in this area. speed sigma europe>sigma pro>omega iv>tenergy 05 the xiom rubbers are the fastest that i have used. i have tried Stiga Boost series, rakza 7, nittaku fast arc s-1, roxon 450, hexer ( not HD ). sadly i must say that i am not too thrilled with the Sigma Series so far. it might work for someone else tho. the above rating are what i feel not scientific. all rubbers used were Max or 2.1mm depending on the brands. ------------- RSM Special Platinum T64 |

Maybe the warranty lasts for the life time of the rubber!  ------------- Nexy Arche & Nittaku Violin LG. Join the forum_posts.asp?TID=47778" rel="nofollow - Nexy Clan ! Also member of Violin & 1-Ply clans. |

| My Ω4 Asia lasted for around 2 months of average training on my forehand. I am an offensive player using mostly my fh for loops and powerloops. I bought it 6 months before but i have been training with it for the last 1,5 month and i add 15 days of training before that time. A rough estimate of hours would be nearly ~40 or less. The rubber has lost the grip significantly and it is useless. It was good for the peak performance period but nothing more. I wouldn't buy it again. |

I have been playing with Omega IV Asia for the last 5 months (but not all the time - I have a second setup which I use at least as frequently) and I estimate it has around 80 hours (real hours - at the table!) on it. The topsheet is really wearing out but the rubber is still playing quite decently - somewhat less spin of course but same speed and control. It is time to put the new rubbers on, however. ------------- Single Ply Hinoki Club, Founding Member Say "no!" to expensive table tennis equipment. Please... |

Having worked in retail, that is typically what lifetime means. It means the typical expected lifetime of the item you purchased. I used to get a lot of complaints about that in various industries. ------------- Wavestone St with Illumina 1.9r, defender1.7b Please let me know if I can be of assistance. |

On another note warrantees usually cover complete failures of the product due to defects.. not failure due to wear-and-tear. Plus after 4 months your rubber is still usable and functioning, it's just not as good as it was when new. E.g if I had a car warrantee for 5 years and brought it in every year and said that it doesn't drive as well as day 1 and i wanted a replacement they'd laugh in my face. If however the transmission gave out after a year then they'd replace the transmission. ------------- Forehand: Hurricane 3 Provincial #20 sponge Backhand: Rakza 7 Max Blade: Xiom Aria |
