Xiom Fuga

The Xiom Fuga is a refined table tennis blade designed for players who favor an aggressive, spin-oriented style of play close to the table. This lightweight blade, weighing in at approximately 79g, boasts a thin thickness of 5.6mm, contributing to its flexibility and exceptional dwell time. Made from a 5-ply wood composition, the Fuga enhances the player’s ability to generate spin, making it especially appealing for those who prioritize looping and placement precision during their matches.

With a speed rating of 8.3 and control at 8.1, the Xiom Fuga strikes a balance between manageable speed and reliable handling, offering excellent control for its users. However, it has a stiffness rating of 4.3, indicating that while it is flexible, this may slightly compromise its effectiveness for blocking shots. The blade’s lower throw angle allows for aggressive shots that are difficult for opponents to return, although players may find it challenging to execute long-range shots due to this characteristic.

Players seeking alternatives might consider the Stiga Infinity, which provides a firmer feel and quicker response, catering more to those who utilize both forehand and backhand equally. Overall, the Xiom Fuga is an excellent choice for forehand-dominant players who thrive on proximity to the table and have a dynamic attacking strategy, while those looking for equal performance on both wings may wish to explore other firmer blades in the market.
