Looking for Xiom blades!

[cruzctrl]

Yo! I’m looking for a blade with similar balance, feel, and accuracy to the Tibhar Samsanov Pure Wood, but with more dwell time. I’ve heard great things about the Xiom Diva and Offensive S, and wanted to try one out.

If you have experience with one of these blades and have one to sell, DM me! I live in the US.

There's a thread of someone selling an Xiom Diva on the front page of this site right now: https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/xiom-diva-off-blade.20561/

Xiom Diva and Offensive S available in stores and pretty cheap. No point to look for used one

i'm going to get a lot of hate but xiom blade/rubbers are trash. Rarely do pro uses it, even the sponsor pros uses dhs/bty and swap the handle to scam the public.

That said, if you are a casual player than it doesn't matter. The attires such as shirts, pants, shoes,blade craftmentship is top notch. The only thing they are bad at is actually make a good blade/rubber that can surpass what BTY/DHS can offer.

Think of it this way. BTY is the hardest sponsor to get as a pro and yet most pro uses BTY products. That just speaks volume.

If you change the name from Xiom to any other manufacturer. It would hold true.
Its not really fair comparing the higher end stuff to midrange stuff also.

It just comes out as DHS/BTY > ESN

I have a well beaten Diva, which I can just give away and almost new Offensive S. Sending them to US would be too expensive to make any sense though.

Is the Offensive S a straight or flared handle? I might have a question for ya

Straight

Straight

Aha! Is it the blue or brown handle version? My question was about the balance. Does it feel a little head heavy, or was it light feeling with rubber attached?

I have this one, I believe it's the newer version.
A bit head heavy, head size 158x152
