This is a very interesting blade from Xiom.
The blade is an outer construction with NO Carbon, only a synteliac fiber.
The blade has good speed and a great feeling. In comparison to other outer carbon blade the SAL is not so fast and has a longer ball contact. Compared to innerforce blades the ball contact is shorter.
It has more control than outer carbon blades. But the SAL is direct and crisp overall.
The blade works very good with hard rubbers.
It is maybe 5-10% slower compared to the HAL from Xiom.
