Xiom new collection (2025)

[doppelmoral]

Are Xiom An Jaehyun TMXi PRO and Xiom Hugo TMXi Pro pretty much the same blade?
The differences I see are the thickness 5.9 mm vs 6 mm, and the weight 84 gr vs 90 gr.

Is Xiom LSS ALX LITE a Viscaria clone?

AJH TMXi Pro and Hugo TMXi Pro are not the same blade. AJH version has a thinner core, is more linear, and plays very similar to w968

Hugo version, which I tried out recently thanks to a clubmate, has a thicker core, feels alot harder and more catapulty. reminded me of ovtcharov alc

LSS ALX should be comparable only to light versions of viscaria. LSS ALX is the successor of 36.5 ALX, which was a good blade but required heavy models around 90g to feel solid.

LSS ALX is a good choice if you need a light blade

O8C durability is definitely poor. I had a lot of issues with it after 2 months.

C55, I can get around 3-4 months usage for 4-5 days a week, but as soon as the topsheet goes, it's time to change. The rubber does feel inconsistent from sheet to sheet in terms of grip.

C55 is a very good rubber, but if durability is what everyone is looking for, its not it. I used my sheet for 15-20 hours and the rubber had alot of marks on it while the grip seemed to decrease.

Most people here know I really like XIOM products and I use their blade + rubbers, but the current ESN hybrid rubbers are simply too expensive for how long they last. The normal grippy rubbers like vega, omega 7 on the other hand have good durability and are priced reasonably.

If anyone can handle to boost every 2-3 months, I recommend to just buy h3n blue sponge from aliexpress, got my last sheet on sale for 33€. that rubber always grips the ball and lasts me 4-6 months

O7P lasts around 3 months at 3-4 times practise per week
