Xiom ICE CREAM AZXi

The Xiom ICE CREAM AZXi is a meticulously crafted table tennis blade that strikes a perfect balance between speed and control, tailored for both aggressive and precision-oriented players. This blade features a unique composition of five plies, incorporating limba wood on the outer layers and a combination of ALC (Aramid-Carbon) and ZLC (Zylon-Carbon) materials, interspersed with a kiri core. This blend not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also optimizes its performance, making it a versatile choice for various playing styles.

Weighing in at a comfortable 88 grams and with a thickness of 5.8mm, the AZXi falls into the medium-weight category. Its design and material composition provide a flexibility rating of 4.8, allowing for excellent dwell time and enhanced ball feedback. Reviewers consistently highlight the blade’s incredible spin capabilities, especially on the ALC side, paired with the control and feel offered by the ZLC side.

Notably, the AZXi excels in the short game, offering precision on drops, pushes, and flicks, while also providing sufficient power for looping and smashing. Players have praised its ability to generate high arcs and impressive control during fast exchanges. Those looking for alternatives in the same performance range might consider the Viscaria or the Hurricane Long 5, yet many find the AZXi surpasses these options in terms of spin and versatility.
