Hayabusa ZLX
Soft yet sharp — the Hayabusa flagship. Combines the reaction speed of Zephylium carbon with the feel of a koto outer ply.
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
Koto five-ply with Zephylium carbon on the outside, 5.7mm and 83g — identical in size and weight to ZL PRO and ARX in the same line.
With thickness and weight held equal across the three, the only variables left are which fibre and where it sits. Zephylium is the material XIOM uses toward the lively end, and here it is on the outside, so this is the springiest position in the family.
83g is light for a carbon blade. Outer-carbon designs usually add power through mass; this one does not. It suits a player who wants return while keeping swing speed high, and not someone who likes pressing the ball with blade weight.
XIOM publishes no performance figures for blades, so we cannot put a number on how fast this is either.
What the numbers say
Outer 5-ply Koto + 2 Zephylium-Carbon plies 5.7mm. Its precision of 9.1 ranks 7 of 22 blades, on the high side. Its ball grab, by contrast, is 8.5 — on the low side. Based on the manufacturer’s published figures.
