Xiom new collection (2025)

[doppelmoral]

I can't find Xiom TMXi An JaeHyun in the catalogue. Does it mean it's discontinued?
Maybe I should grab one while the TT shops has it in stock.

​

yes, it has been discontinued

 

[Table10Ice]

yes, it has been discontinued

Time to shop while it's still available then!
I know dandoy (and others) carry it with flared handle, while tabletennis11 only has the straight version.

I highly recommend to go for the pro version, its one of a kind

I dont understand their metrics at all, and to be honest it doesn't seem to make any sense. Let's take a closer look:

Omega 7 Pro - Spin 5.4
Vega X - Spin 5.4
Vega Japan - Spin 6.0

Omega 5 Tour - Spin 7.7
J&H C55 - Spin 7.7

Vega Korea - Spin 6.4
J&H Z52.5 - Spin 6.0

The Omega 7 Pro, which was their high-end rubber lineup until a few weeks ago, is as spinny or less spinny than the cheap vega line? (Vega Korea and Vega Japan are even supposed to be spinnier)

Omega 5 Tour, a rubber from a few generations ago that no one is using anymore, is as spinny has their top-end rubber right now? (C55).

Vega Korea, a random 30€ rubber, is spinnier than a rubber that is supposed to be a "custom model for National Team Players"? (Z52.5).

Why are Spin and Arc even in the same category. Would be nice if they'd care to at least explain somewhere how to read those stats

 

[TTLOVE]

totally agree, stupid marketing.
I don't understand why they don't use standard value such as speed spin sponge hardeness like butterfly does.
Even the blade metrics are completely insane.

I have the regular version, Pro wasn't available in my region - what is the difference? I read it's same blade, Pro is a bit bigger and that's it.

but yeah, I can agree, this blade sure is something else and probably really one of a kind ...

Pro version does not only differ in headsize in comparison with regular tmx (160×152 vs 158×152). The pro version core veneer is about 10% thinner, while the veneer between fiber and outer veneer has been reinforced.

I played with w968 twice this week (2016 version). The AJH Pro version feels very similar. W968 forehand is more powerful, but AJH backhand feels more crisp. The regular tmxi supposedly feels more like a harimoto alc, so quite different to W968

 

[You're Tacky & I Hate You]

I have a hunch that the new Hugo TMXi pro could well be the AJH TMXi pro with a new handle.

Details in Xioms catalogue for unreleased products don't seem to be set in stone.

Ngl the lens on AJH tmxi pro looks so much better than on hugo tmxi pro. The red lenses on ajh blends in well with the handle.

 

[CallMeZaddy]

Looks like new Hugo TMX blades are finally coming soon

looks pretty much the same as AJH TMX … is it the same blade, just rebadged/renamed?

yeah I guess it is the same blade really with just different stamp and lens.

 

[Yurifi]

Xiom, why you doing this to me? 😂😂
I love my TMX, but am huge Hugo fan, so I guess I will have to change my AJH version for Hugo version. 🤪

Received my sheet of the new Vega China + today. Vega China + was released 2-3 weeks ago in Korea. The original Vega China is an amazing replacement for boosted H3 Neo on FH. Will playtest the VC+ soon and write a review + comparison.

looking forward to this!!

Where did you order the VC+ from? Or do you have some connection to Xiom?

Looking forward to a review. How heavy is it?

I ordered from TTNPP
I haven't opened it yet, will probably glue tomorrow. XIOM Korea website says that uncut weight of VC+ is about 69g. The uncut weight of my regular Vega China was 73g.

I will playtest over the next week and then share my impressions

 

[chinacurious]

69g would be insanely lightweight for 57.5° rubber. Saw a video that had it at 73.5g:

I agree.
Here the picture from official website of XIOM Korea so you know where I was getting this info from
I also saw a picture of a Korean reviewer, attached to his racket VC+ was 49g
When I glue it to my AJH TMXi Pro we will know more

 

[doppelmoral]

Just an update: VC+ uncut weight was only 66g for me, which is a bit unbelievable considering its a 57.5 hard sponge. Glued to my AJH TMXi Pro (160x152 headisze), it only weighs 49g. The rubber comes with an QR code, and its original.

Review will follow over the next 1-2 weeks
