Blade description:

The Xiom Zetro Quad is an exemplary table tennis blade recognized for its unique construction and impressive performance. Designed primarily for attackers and loopers, this blade features four plies of Zylon carbon sandwiched between layers of Kiso Hinoki, resulting in a blend of speed, control, and remarkable spin capabilities. With a thickness of 7.0mm and a weight averaging around 92g, the Zetro Quad offers a solid, balanced feel that caters to various playing styles, particularly those favoring offensive strategies.

The Zetro Quad stands out with its intermediate stiffness rating of 5.9, giving it a lively bounce while still maintaining the necessary flexibility for a vast array of strokes. Players have praised its ability to generate spin on serves and during looping, which is particularly beneficial for those looking to place heavy topspin shots. The blade’s construction allows for excellent dwell time, enhancing control during both aggressive attacks and subtle touch shots. As a result, even players who rely heavily on looping and counter-hitting find that their performance improves dramatically.

For those considering alternatives, blades such as the Butterfly Primorac Carbon or the Butterfly Michael Maze may be appealing, yet the Zetro Quad offers a unique blend of softness, speed, and feedback that distinguishes it from other carbon blades. Whether you’re an advanced player or someone looking to elevate your game, the Xiom Zetro Quad is a remarkable choice that excels in versatility, spin, and precision across a range of offensive play.

This blade is a literal pain in the butt. The serious problem with it is that it makes your setup more bouncy and spin-sensitive, and by a lot. This can be a pleasant thing for looping and adding spin to serves, but dealing with an opponent’s heavy spin is a nightmare when using ZQ. On an advanced level, using this blade can mean an automatic disadvantage for receiving serves, pushing, countering, or blocking spin-loaded loops. No wonder a former $150 blade was sold for a mere $50 before it was discontinued. I can name at least a dozen other similarly fast blades that are much better in the mentioned fields.

This blade was groundbreaking, and I understand why Xiom discontinued it since comparable blades are significantly more expensive. It features distinct zylon and carbon plies rather than being interwoven.

Top. I own two of them, and I feel very lucky to have them. Attackers and spinners dream…
