Xiom AJH TMXI

Hello! I got used to it for a long time (2-3 months) after Zetro Quad. In short, the blade has both delay and good speed on hits far from the table, making a great sharp discount at the net. Recommendations for mastering a blade after another (such as Zetro Quad) - take the time to flat hit, feel the ball hitting the carbon to feel the strength of the blade. I had problems the first time because Zetro Quad vibrates and the ball flies off by itself, but here you need to squeeze it and then the result will be good. No, it is not slow - you just need to move confidently and wherever you want - the ball will fly there. ST handle - could have done more, like Timo Boll. Once you feel its power, you will no longer need anything else.

Xiom AJH TMXI is a pretty normal blade for the Xiom blades I’ve grown accustomed to. I’ve played the first generation Stradivarius, and the Zetro Quad. All blades from Xiom have excellent build qualities. This is no different. The blade is beautifully crafted and feels overall very well made. I would say this blade is probably on the low side of OFF. It’s faster than OFF- I would not call it OFF+ but Xiom has always had kind of a strange rating system with blades listed as OFF++ so maybe this is why most of their blades have a different type of rating. If I have a complaint I would love for the handle to be just a bit bigger but my guess is most people like smaller handles. This blade isn’t as stiff as indicated in the ratings. There’s good dwell on loops. The loops are snappy with good kick off the table. The blade gives good crisp feedback without vibrating too long. You’ll know how well you made contact in the feedback for a split second and stops pretty quickly. My pet peeve with Stiga blades is its vibrating a longer period of time. I want the feedback instantly and on to next shot. This blade does that pretty well. Serves are good. Flat hits are pretty good. Loops are great. Pushes can be easily varied. I’ve played a lot of blades over my years. This is my favorite. I would highly recommend this blade to just about anyone. If you don’t loop I bet there’s a better option but if that’s a major part of your game this blade will do the job all day long. It also does nicely with pushes. Start and heavy spin.

I played a whole season now with this blade, and XIOM did cook something amazing with this blade! it plays like best wooden blades when you need good touch, good feeling and control, when you are playing short game or need that precise gentle feeling. but when you are at mid-distance from the table, looping, the TMX layer helps you. it gives you just the right amount of power and stability, but still with great feeling and great control. so, if you want an extension of your arm, this is the blade. at least to me, it is not rubber sensitive as I played well with 37.5 ESN rubbers (Rakza 7 Soft) to 55 ESN rubbers (O7CG, C55) ... this blade really pairs well with hybrid rubbers. C55 on FH and Vega Pro Hybrid on BH - that's it. get this combo and thank me later. I was back in my 20's when I was still a semi-pro, confident with openers, confident with counter-topspins, blocking - this is really a players blade combo. it really makes you enjoy table tennis. played a couple of tournaments with this combination and it was really a pleasue, even if I lost, I could play good game and always left the table with smile on my face. as C55 is quite expensive and durability is not really the best, other option is also to put Vega Pro H on both sides or you can opt for Donic BlueGrip S1 on BH. also works like a charm. bottom line - this is a great, controlled, topspin machine, which brings a smile on your face every time you play.

I have xiom ajh TMXi 90 gr with 05 bh - mercury inhe hard boosted fh ( versus ) or after ===== zjk alc 90 gr and viscaria 89 gr with 05 boosted both and mizutani szlc 92 gr with bh barracuda - fh rasanter 37 and zjk szlc 92 gr both 05 boosted and tb zlf 84 gr with 05 hard unboosted . XIOM TMXi is overall my best choice and i intend to change mercury with mxp normal .xiom have a little more speed ( smash ) and high throw and accuracy placement ( topspin - receive - retopsin ) than viscaria 90 gr versus xiom 90 gr . negative xiom is a little head heavy . is a innerforce blade but timetrix is between alc and zlc . update baracuda fh cut 45 gr high throw with gewo nanoflex 40 have 47 grams with xiom tmxi 90gr = 184-186 gr glued very good in all situation on the table- near -away very good sweet spot better than viscaria a little bit more stiff xiom tmxi . Xiom tmxi on smash tmx is activated and you can hear it . retopspin is easy . control very good . loop against backspin balls good .

Currently I'm using Xiom AJH TMXi with straight handle and I love it. I have used so many blades including ZJK SZLC, JM SZLC, Viscaria SALC, FZD SALC, FZD ALC, Viscaria to name a few and I consider TMXi is the best. I love the feel and control of this blade. I have ordered TMXi with flared handle in tabletennis11 and I'm expecting it to arrive 4 days from now.... Greatest blade ever made...
