Xiom Omni Hayabusa - ZLX & ZLPro

[tt_kidz]

Wondering if anyone had the opportunity to use either of the 2 latest Xiom Blades and can share their initial review?

TTGearLab has reported their initial findings about the blade, reportedly an Inner Fibre (without carbon).
Within Xiom's blade, I believe HAL or SAL would be the closest as the wood used is similar except for the Fibres and their location.

I am also wondering how this is being marketed versus the upcoming Hugo TMX (which I assumed would follow a similar build as HAL, ie Z & A without the carbon).

Actually im waiting to know the above info as well

The ZL Pro is indeed interesting. TT gearlabs deems it to be a "deep hold" blade, but since the DHS 301Z that i just bought i to be similarily "deep holding" i will stay away from it .... for a few month at least.

I have the old model and looking to replace it with a new one. So I'm very interested in reading new reviews. Hopefully the new one is same as or better than the old.

Im not that expert in explaining about the blades and its vibration, I got the blade yesterday from TT11, its very nice blade as described, i boosted the DHS hurricae neo3 (Ma Long Rubber) which i had it from before.
The FH was okay but still slow even after boosting the rubber. I cant judge on FH for now until i use my fav rubber V22 or any other rubber the is grippy fast and not tacky.
For BH wow i loved tenergy 05 FX, the BH was something else. Spin, counter and smashes. I think T05FX will be my prefered BH along with Donic Z1 Turbo.
I was using FZD ZLC which is faster blade than ZL Pro, i loved both of them.
ZL Pro with super spinny rubber on FH and spinny control Rubber on BH will give the feeling that, ok i do what i designed for.

since it is on sale on tt11 i bought the ZL Pro and had them add the new Victas V20 Extra (which is also on discount) to it. It's gonna arrive tomorrow and i am looking forward to test it.

I'm sure u will be happy with the blade, i loved it.
believe me the FX05 is something else on BH really very nice alot of control, with amazing spin.
On FH im still trying to adjust with the boosted DHS Hurricane (Ma Long Rubber).
Anyhow i got an advise from on expert on TTGEARLAB to use of FH Rasanter C45 or C48 and he said it will be a great combi.

Bro, i still have doubt for the chinese rubbers on the ZL pro. My Ma Long Rubber is awesome with spin but still needs a lot of effort.
My plan is to 100% keep FX05 on BH and use V22 or Jekyll&hyd or C48 on the FH.

It would 100% work with chinese rubbers, just needs to be a bit heavier, but the heaviest I could find was 87g. If I could find a 92g+ it would be spin machine that the gods of tt would even approve of. Would probably look around again in half a year when they start appearing second hand, might find that grail somewhere by accident.

Wow, good answer.
See i love DHS blue sponge and i still want keep it on the ZL Pro.
Just waiting to see my profromace in upcoming 2 to 3 weeks. Then i will decide.
But, 100% i will try jekyll & Hyd on Forehand later as it could be my permenant FH.

Is yours 92g+ ?

 

[jk1980]

ZL Pro seems really controlled and playing this with a chinese rubber would be to demanding for me.
It is nothing close to the HAL, but rather a way more controlled racket.

 

[Gtsnake]

How does this "Omni" compare to the old regular Hyabusa?

Is yours 92g+ ?

No at all light one, but maybe after i understand your point i a wrong way. After being used it might get more weight this is what i understood from your point and thats y i said i might sell u mine.
