This morning, I broke a Nittaku seam 40+ ball using a Schlager Carbon clone blade.

The blade is a Schlager Carbon clone.

I have the Bty Kreanga Carbon, Bty Amultart, DHS Malong 5 X, and Axelo blades. To test their speed, I used the same rubber on each one. The results showed that the fastest blade was the Xiom Axelo.

Most review and recommend this blade as fast as Sardius/Schlager even faster, but I feel it slower than Sardius. I use the same rubber and glue to compare the blades feel, speed, and control. For me, Sardius is still the best blade that I have used.

Notice for Axelo, the handle is comfortable but the edge is still sharp. Need to improve quality.

Well, this is the fastest blade I have used. And because of its outer hinoki layers, it also has decent control. Its block is like a direct punch. Throw is medium to low. Pair it with spinny and not so hard rubbers.

Very fast blade! To be honest, the control isn’t all there. It’s extremely difficult to play short balls and flicks. The best play style would be playing mid to long range. It’s perfect for rallying and smashing back spins. I would rate it 7/10.

It is also noticeable that this blade is heavy when played for over 1 hour.

I also connected this blade with Xiom Omega V Asia and Europe. Hence the heavy smashing and fast pace plays.

Initially, I anticipated that this off++ blade would be challenging to control, but I was pleasantly proven wrong. I am able to execute controlled loops and smashes with ease. Remarkably, even when my opponents are aware of the intended path of the ball during a kill attempt, they consistently misjudge the timing. I have been experimenting with pairing it with the Sigma 1 Pro Max sponge and have found it to be a suitable combination.

I have never had a blade that is as fast as this Xiom Axelo. I found that XIOM has made the highest quality blade for the lowest price. It is FASTER than Schlager, Sardius, Ebenholz NCT 7, and Epox Top Speed, which I have used for a couple of years. I use Xiom Omega 4 Pro FH & Tenergy 05fx BH. This blade is one of the fastest I have bought. I was inexperienced and did not realize the tremendous speed it has. The control is very awesome for blocks. “DON’T MISS IT”.

This is the best Xiom blade ever. I bought this racket this month and this blade is excellent overall. It’s really an off ++ blade and very controllable. Even in my short ball smash or spin is like makes your enemy blind. It’s a good price for an excellent blade compared to Butterfly, too overpriced and low performance. Sorry, Butterfly fans. Xiom is like an underground rock band making names in the underworld, unlike mainstream Butterfly already heard and taking advantage of overpricing.

The quality and workmanship of the blade are excellent, on par with Butterfly but at a lower price point.

While advertised as a very fast blade, it falls slightly short of that claim. It is noticeably faster than the Primorac Carbon but slower than the Schlager Carbon. This could be attributed to the softer center ply, despite its overall speediness.

Despite its speed, it allows for the production of spinny balls even from a distance from the table. Ball feedback is satisfactory, and control is surprisingly high considering its speed.

I am still experimenting with suitable rubbers for this blade.

I recommend this blade to aggressive loopers with sound technique and the physical ability to handle its speed.

If you seek a high-speed carbon blade without the premium price of Butterfly, this is a viable alternative.

This blade is fast! The fastest blade of all time! It is also very awesome. It is also very controllable.

#11 — February 2011

Very powerful and fast blade. With BTY Roundell or Tibhar Sinus Alpha, it’s an excellent choice for aggressive players who attack the ball quickly. However, it is not recommended for all-around players because you cannot keep the ball on the table for extended periods. With this blade, you must finish each point quickly.

#12 — September 2010

Very fast blade, faster and thicker than Schlager Carbon and Amultart. I use it with Omega IV Pro FH/BH. It produces very heavy topspin and the block is very explosive. It is not suitable for all-around play, but is the best for aggressive players who loop mid/far from the table. The control is good and the flared handle is bigger than Butterfly and fits very well in my large hand.

This blade is very powerful and fast, the fastest among the Xiom brothers (Strato, Ignito), which I own. My favorite is actually the Strato, but I often use the Axelo when I play against opponents who put a lot of spin on the ball. I just speed up my blade with powerful smashing to kill all the spin off. I have Vega Europe on both sides, and they are perfect for me. I thought about Omega 3, but I am afraid that it might be too fast for me to control. I will try that combination in the future.

This blade is highly recommended for players who want to hit the ball hard with a lot of spin.

An excellent looping blade. It provides very good control. Paired with Omega 3 rubbers, it delivers excellent loops and spins. When using Zeta rubbers, it maintains good control for blocking and hitting.
