Amazing synergy of wood and composite material from new construction. Zephylium Carbon towards the center made ZXi feel more solid but very genuine. Spin loading was leveraged by new construction and became easier to perform. Accurate and powerful ball control makes the player keep up and win over the longer rally. Control phase of the game improves along with the winning opportunities. New paradigm defines Hayabusa optimizing controversial properties to make the unprecedented table tennis weapon.
Wow. What a blade. Topspins, smashes, serves, push, everything is a breeze with hayabusa zxi. Very fast but with amazing control, the ball just lands where you intended it. Slow drop serves followed by topspin finish is successful everytime. Some friends found it very fast, but then if you want to win a race, you have a better chance in a Ferrari! Use it with tenergy 64 on forehand and tenergy 05 on backhand. Used it with gewo hype 47.5 on forehand and dhs hurricane neo 3 on backhand with great result. Planning to try spinart on backhand next. If you want a fast blade with super spiny Topspins, this is the blade. Upgraded to this after timo boll spirit and am loving xiom hayabusa zxi currently
This definitely work with tension type of rubbers with medium speed or more ( not recommended for super speed rubber) , blocks are perfect , if you combined with butterfly raystorrm or flarestorm II in backhand , chop blocks are crazy , i tried it and it was awesome , but you need to adjust your wrist and angle of your hands while you perform flicks and topspins , since it is really fast and yet have a better control for most OFF+ blade . I find it is easy to play with this blade .
Pros : High durability , Chop Blocks , Flat Shots and Top Spins, and Speed
Cons : Vibrations ( You need to grip the handle firm and strong ), Decent control, heavy when you place 2.0 or 2.2 thickness of rubbers, and slighter chance of succes of counter at close to table ( mostly will do with blocks)
He usado esta madera por 1 año y medio. Hace 9 años entreno tenis de mesa y es una madera excelente para atacar de media o larga distancia, tiene un control muy bueno en comparación con la velocidad que alcanza, yo la he usado con tenergy 80 FH y tenergy 64 BH... Y es excelente combinación de poder y precisión.
Awesome blade. Compared to TB-ZLC (same blade composition), the Zxi has a bigger sweet spot (biggest i have tested so far, have not tried the super ZLC from butterfly). But the blade offers more flex, more feeling for the same speed than the TB-zlc. The biggest sweet spot gives more control, more consistency. The blade offers the speed of TB-zlc with the feeling of Arylate carbon blades like viscaria, TBS, TB-ALC so i recommend this blade for "Viscaria like" users wanting more speed, or for the TB-zlc users wanting more feeling, same power and ever bigger sweet spot with higher throw angle.
Top quality blade, i'm thinking about letting my beloved TB-ALC for this blade, i have the feeling of more power for same control with better consistency thx to the incredible sweet spot.
Tested with many Vega/Omega rubbers, T64, Barracuda, sinus alpha & Razka7.
