Xiom Novus 19 Offensive S

I have tried many blades, and I must say that this is the most beautiful blade I have ever played with (Korbel, Virtuoso, Primorac, Acoustic, Viscaria, TB ALC . . . ). It simply does everything well. It has a wonderful feeling, an immense amount of spin, but it is still stiff enough to perform powerful drives.

Paired with Nittaku Fastarc G1 and C1, it is simply perfect for near-to-the-table and mid-distance play (for intermediate to advanced level play, at least). Strongly recommended.

Very good blade, more controlled and balanced than my previous Korbel Japan. I have played with Sweden Classic, Primorac, Stiga OC, Donic WSC, Stiga All Evolution, Primorac Japan, Korbel Japan, and now Xiom Off S. The feel for the ball is excellent. It throws a little lower than Korbel, is faster than Korbel, and is also stiffer. The block is excellent, control is great, and the spin is with a lot of rotation. I switched from the Korbel without major problems. The handle is very good and bigger than Korbel. Weight 88 grams. In short, I am very satisfied. My game is faster, more dangerous, more speed with spin, and with a smile on my face. I am very happy with Off S. Rubbers are FH Tibhar Genius 2.0 and BH Rakza 7 Soft 2.0. Total recommendation.
