Xiom Diva

Solid off-speed, great spin, but not the highest control. Xiom makes brilliant quality equipment, and this was not an exception though. I had an 85 gram ST handle which was slightly head heavy. The handle was pretty flat (29mm x 22mm), but felt good in my hand. I used Xiom Vega Europe rubber on both sides.

My wife (900 USATT) and I (1300 USATT) both played with it for several practice sessions for reference. Our playing impressions were that it’s bouncy, and the flexibility makes it somewhat non-linear. That being said, if you have the patience to learn this blade’s personality, you’ll have a great looping blade with amazing speed potential.

To summarize: crisp feeling, good for aggressive, spin-oriented play, but not for impatient beginners because of its bounciness and non-linearity.

To jest najlepsza drewniana deska w cenie oferowanej przez producenta (175 PLN). Bardzo dobra kontrola przy bloku/topspinie, do tego niesamowite czucie przy bloku. Mogę kontrolować każdy topspin niezależnie czy jestem przy stole czy daleko od niego ze względu na sztywność deski. Największy minus tej deski to to, że jeśli grasz ciężkimi okładzinami, będzie słabo odchodzić przy stole. Polecam zestaw na dole, gra się wyśmienicie.

Dla mnie to lepsza deska niż Stratus Powerwood/Primorac. Mogę blokować każdy topspin, ponieważ ta deska jest sztywniejsza i mniej odskakująca niż SPW, ale ma taką samą kontrolę jak Primo.

Focus 3 Snipe/fh Stiga Power LT bh (boosted) Świetny sprzęt.

Nice blade, with a lot of control, especially for those who search in category speed OFF-. Also a great price for the quality.

Amazing blade for this price. It offers a great deal of control. Perhaps as you progress over time, you may find that it lacks the speed necessary to attack your opponent. Nonetheless, it is still a very high-quality choice for beginner players.

A good blade for all-round players and technique growth, with nice control.

Nice design, as all Xiom blades. This blade with straight handle has great control and is perfect for both blocking and from mid-distance. If you want, it’s easy to put extra speed when needed because of the little extra weight that you feel when hitting at the top of the racket. I use this blade with Xiom vega pro on FH and vega Asia on the backhand. Highly recommended!

Good wood, good feeling, and the handle is nice for wide hands.

This blade is not fast. Its speed rating is ALL++ and weighs 74 grams. The blade has a tendency to absorb the incoming ball. It is not flexy (-5.2) and has a hardness of 5.3.

The blade is very good for blocking the ball. Its construction is koto-ayuos-ayuos-ayuos-koto, but the three layers of ayuos are symmetrical and identical in thickness.

This blade is very balanced and suitable for beginners to intermediate players.

Close to the table blocking and pushing blade that can attack with pace when the opportunity arises.

It didn’t allow me to initiate my own attack in the rally very easily when a player tried to tighten the game up as it has a low arc. But this linear play works fantastically for blocking and pushing, as well as attacking in open play.

It is geared more towards a defensive style, which it is brilliant at. It has a huge Sweet-spot and is very controllable. You’ll get out of it what you put in.

It is the best short game and blocking blade I’ve ever felt. It pairs better with harder rubbers, as soft rubbers bottom out due to the harder top ply.

This is a unique 5-ply blade that is far more stiff and linear than most 5-ply blades. It offers a direct nature giving a ton of top-end speed that isn’t coming back.

Personally, I prefer a touch longer hold on the ball as it is better for looping. But for players who are primarily drivers and blockers, it’s unbeatable! Pure offensive Attackers should look elsewhere.

Blade is okay. Control and block are very good, but more power is needed away from the table. If you prefer to play closer to the table, this blade will do the job. However, if you are a topspin off player, consider something with more speed. I have Tibhar Genius on FH, and Tibhar Aurus on BH.

The second of my all-wood blades, this one provides great control and good speed at a low price.

This blade is exactly what I need for my grip on the handle since I use nothing but flare, but this one has a really smooth flare straight that lets me get maximum speed with half the effort I put in with my old bat.

This blade is perfect for players who start table tennis as well as for amateur players. With DHS G888 rubbers it has decent speed (but not so fast), perfect control in blocking, very good at close to the table game, and is very well balanced. It is not fast from mid distance or away from the table in flat hits, but with the Chinese rubbers it has perfect spin strokes! You can learn very well the movements of table tennis with this blade because it has a big margin of errors! It forces you to swing your arm more because of the lack of the speed, and it is very good for training! With this combination of rubbers, it is medium heavy.

Очень хорошее предсказуемое основание для allround игры.

Excellent base. This is for sure the best for a player who wants to deliver. I ordered it with rubbers Xiom Vega Asia and Vega Euro. I am very glad. Thank you very much tt11.

This was my 3rd purchase from tabletennis11.com; I do recommend this seller. Xiom Diva blade is a superb blade.

It’s so good.

5 star blade

Wow, this blade surprised me. I never knew you could buy good blades for cheap. The control is great.

This blade, along with the Donic Blue Feeling, ranks among the best offensive all-round blades I have tested. While its speed falls short of the manufacturer’s claim of 90, it remains sufficiently fast while offering excellent control.

I have equipped both blades with the same combination of rubbers: 1.5 red Donic Akkadi Taichi on the forehand and 1.2 black Donic Piranjatech long pimples on the backhand. Blocking and flat hits are remarkably effortless, and the long pimples prove far more effective than on alternative blades.

Despite its faster speed compared to the Donic Blue Feeling, both blades provide comparable control. I am highly satisfied with both options, which offer exceptional value for their respective prices.

The great all-wood blade has enough speed and excellent control.

The best configuration is FH Sigma Europe Max and BH Omega IV Pro Max.

This is a great all-wood blade. I have a collection of fine blades, and this one comes on top of my range, beating some classics including the Stiga Clipper Wood. The Diva has great speed but not too fast, very dwelly, high control, and great for loop and spin shots. Also, the sweet spot is really good for a wood blade.

It is very similar to the Tibhar Stratus Power Wood, which is also an unbelievable blade, but the Diva is a touch slower. I have my usual rubber on both sides: Vega Pro. It goes to tell that even less pricey blades can perform better than expensive ones sometimes. For me, performance is the key, not the price. Highly recommended.

The blade is excellent with enough speed and excellent control.

Best value for the price. Easy handling at short game, big dweel time for spin and enough speed, fantastic control.
