Xiom Hayabusa ZLX
Blade description
The “Xiom Hayabusa ZLX” is an outer-fiber blade featuring Zephylium Carbon (Zylon Carbon) as its artificial material. It shares a common design concept with the rest of the new “Hayabusa” series, symbolizing a falcon in flight. The ZLX has a distinctive color combination of white and burgundy on a black background. This blade offers high performance at a reasonable price, positioning it as one of the most important outer-fiber models in Xiom’s blade range. The blade’s construction, with Zephylium Carbon placed directly under the top layer, ensures excellent playability and power, making it suitable for professional-level players.

The blade is quite fast with great control. I had a ZL Pro before it, which was slower, but with even better control. For now, I have glued hard 55 degree XIOM Omega VII Tour and XIOM Jekyll & Hyde rubbers to the ZLX—it works amazingly with them. The handle is very comfortable, the feel is soft, you can play at any distance with it, without a problem. Its forehand arc is high, and the backhand is easy and gives you great confidence. It is easy to cut the ball, and the block is unique. This is the type of blade that, even after hitting a few balls for the first time, you fall in love with it. At a decent price, it has many more qualities than much more expensive blades. I recommend it to everyone!

Firstly, the blade looks beautiful and has a comfortable ergonomic handle; I got the AN. The blade is fast, yet very controllable. The decent delay allows for high-arc topspins, which reduces errors. I played with the MX-P for the FH and the D05 for the BH — the combination produces a lot of spin. The chop is also quite controllable for an OFF+ racket. When settled, it produces a fast loop and a very cool sound; I haven’t experienced this sensation from any other racket, and I’ve played with many: Viscaria s.ALC, Lin Yun-Ju, Mizutani, PG7, Zhang Jike. I might replace the MX-P with a JOOLA Tronix ACC, Rakza 7, or G1 for FH later. I think this is the best wood I’ve played with in the last 10 years. :) Well, and in addition, with strong blows the whip starts to work, a feeling of incredible inertia, this is not an ephemeral whip, but a real centrifugal acceleration.

My first blade upgrade. If u dont like any vibration feeling then dont take this. So far for me, great upgrade from my previos all wood blade. Not too fast blade, can feel the ball. Xiom omega FH, neo 3 BH.
