Xiom Athena RSM Platinum

This blade is beautiful and plays like a dream. I love the feel of it when looping and counter looping. I believe this will be the JPen that I will use for many years to come.

This blade is simply amazing. Lately, I have tried several J Pen blades, including the Cypress Max, Cypress-R, Cypress Alpha S and R. This Xiom makes all of them look like a cheap blade, including the Cypress Max.

The Hinoki used is very dense and perfect. The feeling is great and enables total control. The sweet spot seems to be enlarged, and even when I hit off-center in a rally, the feeling and the shot are consistent.

The days of trying other blades are over. I have even bought a second one that I will vacuum seal and keep for when my current Xiom gets worn out. It is worth spending the extra money to get a genuine J Pen blade. Congratulations to Xiom.

This blade is designed for fast-paced, attacking playstyles. It excels at powerful smashes, looping shots, and quick counterattacks.
