This blade had a soft feeling and grabbed the ball securely. This enabled excellent control. The upper part of the FL grip was narrow, while the width was thick enough. This grip allowed me to easily perform backhand flick and forehand/backhand changes.

I felt that this blade was suitable for players who prioritize spin and safety over speed and power. It would be a great fit for all-round players who want to play with their own power, emphasizing high accuracy and safety.

Previously, I used the BTY Lin Gaoyuan blade, which offered more speed and power but slightly less control and accuracy than this blade. I prefer the Xiom 3.65 Alxi for gameplay and enjoy the rallies it creates.

This blade is excellent. Mine is FL, with a nice grip, and the handle is comfortable for big hands. The plate is 157x150mm, and mine weighs 85 grams. The frequency is 1356 - 1378 Hz.

In the past, I’ve used Joola Vyzaryz Freeze, BTY Viscaria, Freitas, Korbel, Hadraw VK, and Primorac. I’m trying to adapt to an inner carbon type of blade, seeking more control while keeping a reasonably fast blade. I think the ALXi delivers, because the feeling of the ball is excellent, yet the speed of the blade is high, at the level of Viscaria, confirming some impressions found on the web. I can attack with confidence even far from the table; the power is there when you need it.

I’ve paired it with Dynaryz ACC max on fh and Dynaryz ACC 2.0 on BH. I’m changing from this setup to DNA Platinum M max on fh and nexxus el pro 48 2.1 on bh, so I will update the review.
