New Xiom blades?

[Colin Ksh]

I just had a peek of those on ig yesterday and seems like there’s gonna be new xiom blades coming up soon. Is xiom trying to develop the TMX material to get better? An Jaehyun was using w968 across the entire world championship tournament recently instead of his TMXi lol

Looks like it, I currently LOVE the Cho Daeseong TMX Pro right now.
Compared to viscaria, it feels like an amped up viscaria. Add in the extra headsize and its forehand beats out viscaria.

The TMX LSS should be interesting, Would like to see the difference between it and tmx outer.

The head size’s gonna be smaller compare to cds tmx pro but the same as regular tmx outer. I really like the look of AJH tmxi pro. fun fact : I actually asked xiom via dm on ig why AJH is using a w968 instead of his personal blade (TMXi) and said there were some error occurred before the competition regarding his personal equipment and was forced to use a w968. But he’ll be using his own blade moving forward in the future competition.

Yup Im just interested to see how much a blade can change with same materials and composition.

I noticed that xiom tends to use a lot of vibrant colors in their apparels as well as blades which is not very common compare to other brands.

Thickness/density of the composites, directionality can all make a difference. While the thicknesses look pretty uniform, do we know for sure the composition is the same? The Hugo TMX and TMX LSS look like the blade surface has less visible wood grain compared to AJH/CDS blades. Combined with the blurb mentioning “rich sensation” I actually wonder if they have hinoki outer plies.

That sounds fishy. Why wouldn't he have multiple TMXi's as backup? Even the more hardcore EJs on this board get a backup blade lol, though mostly to try out different rubbers.

I have no clues. But I saw in a clip during the training before the actually competition, he was using TMXi. Left me curious as well

Maybe he's trying to get his WTT bronze medal juju with w968 again.
Then Xiom is doing PR.

Anyone have an idea on the Xiom blade with Xiom rubbers combo? Probably premature question as there is a whole new line of rubber coming up with Omega VIII and Vega Pro H etc.
Butterfly has a guide where for example, Inner Carbon blade Harimoto - D05, FZD ALC Outer Carbon - D09c FH, D05 BH.
