Xiom Axelo

The Xiom Axelo is a high-performance table tennis blade acclaimed for its exceptional speed and control, making it a favorite among aggressive players and loopers. Constructed with Energy Carbon, this blade offers a unique blend of power and precision, allowing players to deliver rapid and spin-heavy shots from both mid and long distances. With a thickness of 7.3mm, the Axelo remains a formidable weapon on the table, marrying the qualities of a classic wooden blade with advanced carbon technology.

Weighing in at a medium level, the Axelo provides a solid yet balanced feel that appeals to those who prefer a slightly heavier blade. Reviewers have noted its impressive stiffness rating of 7, which contributes to its explosive power while still offering decent feedback on touch shots. This blend of stiffness and a moderately soft center ply enables players to generate heavy topspin, making it an excellent choice for those looking to dominate rallies with attacking play.

Flexibility is also a noteworthy characteristic of the Axelo, which, despite its high-speed rating of 9.4, surprisingly maintains ample control (8.3). While some players have pointed out its weight during extended plays, the control on blocks and loops is frequently praised, making it easier to execute intricate shots. For those seeking alternatives, while the Axelo can be compared to blades like the Butterfly Schlager Carbon and Sardius, it stands out for its affordability and performance ratio, catering well to players transitioning from other blade brands seeking value without compromising quality.
