XIOM

Chrome XAXi

An inner-carbon blade for beginner to intermediate players — carbon power at an accessible price.

Performance

XIOM IACT official (scale maximum not published)

The manufacturer does not publish a maximum for these figures. This chart therefore uses the actual range of its own published values across the same family as the ends of each axis. It shows relative position within that family, not an absolute score, and because the origin is not zero the differences look larger than they are. See the manufacturer figures below for the exact numbers.

About this product

On the map it is 1st for spin, 1st for control, and last for speed. It is the only one of the seven to top two axes.

Read that alongside the price — ₩260,000, the most expensive XIOM blade here — and something becomes clear: the priciest blade is the slowest one. The assumption that expensive equipment means fast equipment does not survive this product. The money here buys spin and stability, not pace.

It is also the only one of the seven built on aramid carbon; the others use Axylium, Zephylium or Trimetrix. A different material landing in a different place is exactly what you would expect.

It is plainly wrong for a close-to-the-table hitter. It suits a player who wins by stacking spin until the opponent is pushed out of position — and for anyone between those two descriptions, the price is hard to justify.

XIOM official positioning

#1 toward spin, #1 for control, among the 7 IACT blades

Relative placement read from the positioning map XIOM publishes for its IACT line. The horizontal axis runs from speed to spin as a single axis, so ranking higher for spin means ranking lower for speed. These are positions within these seven blades, not scores, and cannot be compared with other brands.

What the numbers say

Inner 5-ply + 2 Aramid-Carbon plies 6.1mm. Its ball grab of 10.0 ranks 1 of 22 blades, among the very highest. Its repulsion, by contrast, is 8.6 — on the low side. Based on the manufacturer’s published figures.
