Indeed ZLX
An IACT-series outer blade combining the stability of kiri with the explosive reaction speed of Zephylium carbon.
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
Of the seven blades on the map this is 1st for speed and 7th for spin. It stands at one end of the range with nothing ambiguous about it.
Control, however, comes in 4th — dead centre. The assumption that a fast blade must be hard to control does not hold here. Zephylium carbon is better read as a material that delivers a lot of return while keeping the scatter in the middle of the pack.
At 5.7mm it is on the thin side of the seven, and it weighs 86g. Getting this much speed out of a thin blade means the fibre, not the wood, is producing it. It is the wrong blade for a player who scores with spin — 7th of seven is not a polite way of saying something else.
XIOM official positioning
#7 toward spin, #4 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
Outer 5-ply Kiri + 2 Zephylium-Carbon plies 5.7mm. Its repulsion of 9.9 ranks 2 of 22 blades, among the very highest. Its catapult & click, by contrast, is 8.5 — among the lowest. Based on the manufacturer’s published figures.
