The Xiom Offensive S table tennis blade utilizes traditional 5-ply construction with a special layer construction. It is perfect for speedy drives with great speed performance with excellent control from both forehand and backhand. Soft touch at contact offers amazing ball control at contact. This blade is excellent for both modern offensive players with higher/speedy hits and also traditional style players with lower/controlled hits.
This is a seriously amazing 5 ply wood attacking blade with Off-/Off speed. For the price, I believe you cannot do any better. It's a classic Limba/Limba/Ayous blade that has very highly quality, consistency, and performance. Thickness is in the 6.1-6.2mm range which I think is perfect and allows both great looping as well as enough stability and rigidity for accurate blocks and hits. This blade is slightly faster than a Butterfly Petr Korbel and slightly slower than a Tibhar Stratus Power wood, being siblings with the same wood ply construction. A very well balanced Offensive 5 ply blade for a great price. Nice job Xiom!
Wow, this one is something. It's 5 ply 6mm thick but plays like 7ply clipper cr. The composition is also similar . the xiom has two less ply of ayous than stiga clipper. I call it 5ply clipper cr and plays very similar if not better and the speed is same as clipper cr which i have aswell. my xiom off s is 89g also must say the quality and finish is premium level.
Fantastic all wood blade. Definitely an offensive blade with huge amount of control and off- to off speed. Comfortable fl handle, but could use just 1 more mm in thickness. All in all, i really like this blade. Goes great with Xiom rubbers Vega Pro and Omega Europe, as well as with Butterfly TO5 and Bryce Speed FX and Donic Acuda S2. Didn't try Chinese rubbers on it yet.
