XIOM is really good huh
It's an outer carbon blade but the power and speed are insane.
Also, personally I love XIOM's blade designs. So stylish.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

Overall I thought it was good, but within just a few months the plies started coming apart.
Even with an Anmuro impact, I've never seen Butterfly or STIGA blades like that.
I've seen the same thing happen with Jet and Quad too — this Axiom blade feels like it lacks durability.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

Since the blade is hard, I'd recommend soft rubber. Which side goes forehand or backhand depends on the situation — basically either works. It's interesting because even with the same rubber, the feel and performance differ between the sides. ALC is speed-focused, ZLC is spin-focused. Also, if you think this blade pairs well with Omega 7 Euro, please leave a good rating!

<ALC side>
Drive: Speed is fantastic, but the spin was so-so. I think a softer rubber would make it work nicely. That said, loop drives and curve drives are very easy to do.
Short game: You can clearly control push and stop shots with a nice sense of touch. Flicks are easy thanks to the inherent hardness.
<ZLC side>
Drive: Spin bites really well, there's plenty of it, and speed is more than sufficient. Loops float up a little but still get plenty of spin.
Short game: Both pushes and stops are stable, with plenty of spin too. Chiquitas are extremely easy and powerful with a rubber that has good grip on the ball.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness hard

The arylate side is a bit on the harder side — it bounces when you want it to, and stays controlled when you want to hold back, and the short game was easy too!
The ZLC side was softer and bounced more easily — I think it's better suited for the backhand!
Next I'll try it with Omega 7 Tour and Pro.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

These are my impressions after about two months of using it with various rubbers.
This is a really interesting blade where the feel differs completely between the forehand and backhand.
The ALC side is rock hard, releases the ball quickly, and flies a lot. I think it's suited for the forehand.
The ZLC side has more flex compared to the ALC side and gives a sense of holding the ball. I think it's suited for the backhand.
The ALC side pairs well with strong tacky rubbers like Hurricane. On the other hand, it's hard to get enough spin with tension rubber on that side. For players who mainly smash, tension rubber would suit it too — the speed is very fast.
What stands out on the ZLC side is the spin you get on soft hits. The max spin on hard hits isn't especially high, but even a soft touch easily generates a decent amount of spin. Because of that, pairing it with a straight, fast rubber makes it very easy to combine spin and speed in backhand-to-backhand rallies. It pairs well with the Omega 7 series, also from XIOM.
Overall, the sweet spot on this blade is a bit narrow, which can make it hard to control at times.
The weight was 85g.
The design is very beautiful, and it's fun to use.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness hard

This is a blade I personally like. I'd recommend it for players who have power on the forehand but not much on the backhand (a bit of a chopper thing). It generates decent spin for an outer blade.
