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.

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.

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.

#7January 2015

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.

#12September 2013

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

Solid Off- speed and great spin are hallmarks of this blade, though control isn’t its strongest suit. Xiom maintains its reputation for brilliant quality with this equipment. My blade had an 85-gram straight handle and felt slightly head-heavy. The handle was fairly flat (29mm x 22mm), but comfortable in hand. I paired it with Xiom Vega Europe rubber on both sides.

My wife (USATT 900) and I (USATT 1300) both used the blade during several practice sessions to gain a better understanding of its play. We found it to be bouncy, and its flexibility contributes to a somewhat non-linear feel. However, with patience to learn the blade’s nuances, you’ll discover a great looping blade with amazing speed potential.

In summary, the blade offers a crisp feel and is well-suited for aggressive, spin-oriented play. However, its bounciness and non-linearity make it less suitable for impatient beginners.

Nice blade with a lot of control, especially for those who prefer OFF- speed blades.

It’s also a great value for the quality.

#15January 2020

A good blade for all-round players.

It is also beneficial for technique growth, with nice control.

#16November 2019

The Xiom blade boasts a nice design, consistent with all Xiom products. This blade, with its straight handle, offers great control, making it perfect for both blocking and mid-distance play.

When needed, it’s easy to generate extra speed due to the slight extra weight you feel at the top of the racket during impact.

I use this blade with Xiom Vega Pro on the forehand and Vega Asia on the backhand. Highly recommended!

#17August 2019

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

#18July 2017

This blade is exactly what I need for my grip on the handle since I only use flared handles.

This one has a really smooth, flared straight shape that lets me get maximum speed with half the effort compared to my old bat.

#19May 2017

This blade is perfect for beginners and amateur players alike. When paired with DHS G888 rubbers, it offers decent speed (but not excessively fast), excellent control in blocking, and excels in close-to-the-table play. It is also very well-balanced.

While it may lack speed for flat hits from mid-distance or away from the table, it generates perfect spin strokes when used with Chinese rubbers.

The blade’s large margin for error makes it ideal for learning table tennis movements. Its relative lack of speed encourages a fuller arm swing, making it excellent for training. The blade and rubber combination results in a medium-heavy setup.

#20April 2017

Very good, predictable blade for all-round play.

#21January 2017

Excellent base. This is definitely the best option for a player who wants to deliver powerful shots.

I ordered it with Xiom Vega Asia and Vega Euro rubbers and I’m very glad I did. Thank you very much, TT11!

#22October 2016

This was my third purchase from tabletennis11.com, and I recommend this seller.

The Xiom Diva blade is a superb blade.

#23October 2016

It’s so good.

#24March 2016

A five-star blade.
