Xiom new collection (2026)

[W3R]

Xiom have the best blade handle designs in the market, hands down. Compare Chrome's or Artemis's handle to blandness of HL5 or Joola ZQH handles ...

Yeah, Agreed.. I remember thinking about how beautiful these handles where when I first saw them many years ago.. and the overall graphic design and packaging was the best at this time.. everyone seems to catch up now with modern and minimal packaging design. Btw it is amazing how bad some handles are lol.. Yasaka for example - and even Sweden models are so bad.. (Sweden is supposed to have good design)

Whats the difference between Artemis and Chrome besides headsize? Aramid and Axylium should be pretty similar right?

ABsolutely, I was tempted to buy a xiom blade for more more money (than the alternative) just because of the design

As a Hurricane 3 user, i am very interesting to see test, and seller for Tau 3/5. I have a golden Hurricane long 5, similar to the chrome blade. Thay say 968like, but Hurricane long 5 is already 968 like in a way. Korean were using 968, let's see if they switch to xiom. But i am really interested by the test of chrome and Tau 5 review.

Do you think with the arrival of the 2026 collection, the prices for the exisiting blades will drop? Looking for a zl.pro right now

very unlikely, this rarely happens in my experience. but blades like ZL PRO are on sale quite often, can get that blade for 60-70€ new. you could wait for the tt11 sale

Thats a good advice. Just have to check what shipping to germany will cost. It is a pity, that cannot find it used anywhere.

Does this mean Xiom Striker will be the only available hinoki zlc blade that is from a mainstream manufacturer

 

[MsBonky]

If I read it correctly, pre sales start today in korea. Can take a few months before it is sold worldwide

Spin factory has it for 79 Euro, I believe.
I also find Xiom handle/blade of exceptional quality, even comparing to Nittaku and Btfy.
Trying hard not to buy Solo.

After losing Hugo, and also KNY (South Korea), Xiom really needs to find players who they can sponsor ….

Joola might still be manufacturing the Nobilis

I made the wrong setup. According to others' experiences, this racket is not suitable for ordinary amateur players.

Why do you think the ZQH blade is bland by comparison? The only difference is there was an extra colour line down the center of the handle, it's not radically different.

It's a subjective opinion obvs. Purple is really not my color

Anyone has found where to buy the new Tau 5 rubbers ? I am genuily interested to replace my H3 in FH. And Xiom Tau seemed to be very similar to H3 but without the boosting needed. With different hardness you can pick the one that suits you.
