Performance
XIOM NOVUS official, 1-5About this product
Limba five-ply, 5.5mm, 85g, ₩60,000 — the cheapest in the NOVUS line and among the thinnest.
The all-round classification follows directly from that. A thin all-wood blade does little to push the ball away; instead it flexes a long way and holds the ball. Hit hard and it does not fly; hit softly and the ball still grips. That is precisely the behaviour that helps while you are building strokes.
For a finished swing, the ceiling is low. This is a blade you outgrow — not a defect, but the job this price point does.
It is also a reasonable place to retreat to. Starting on a carbon blade and then fighting balls that keep sailing long is a common story, and this undoes it.
What the numbers say
5-ply all-wood (Limba) 5.5mm. Its sharpness of 6.0 ranks 2 of 8 blades, on the high side. Its reaction, by contrast, is 2.0 — among the lowest. Based on the manufacturer’s published figures.
