Xiom Hayabusa Zi

My blade weighs only 80 g, so the weight-sense does not help in strokes. The whole blade area works quite similarly to Andro’s Zylon blade. It feels like a whole-wood blade in topspin.

It is noticeably slower than Hayabusa ZX, but the ball control feels similarly good.

I like thick rubbers and this lightweight blade works very well with thick Xiom Sigma rubbers. This blade requires much faster rubbers compared to my second favorite blades Tibhar Stratus Powerwood and Andro Zylon Kinetic.

(Updated 1.11.2015: Still using this blade, but it requires fast rubbers to compensate for the low speed of this blade.)

Super control!

This blade is perfect if you are looking for excellent control, paired with enough speed and power for offensive play. The blade is very well balanced and feels great in the hand due to its small head size. This allows for precise shot placement and quick reactions.

Overall, this blade is a great choice for all-round players who want to improve their control and accuracy in their game.

Slower than ZXI, but much better when it comes to control.

This is an excellent blade for me. With its versatility, you can use any type of rubber with it and it will still work great!
