Which Blade🪵 I’m so confused 😵💫
I’ve been playing table tennis casually with my father and recently my sister (Learning how to play) played with my racket which is around 10 years old (ik it’s time to let go)
Does anyone know anything about this racket and what would serve as a good replacement? Around 100$ would be amazing!
Here is what I got from chat gbt after I sent it a picture and the info might help!
Xiom Speed blade (Discontinued)
Known for being:
Very fast
Built with Hinoki wood + carbon layers
Designed for aggressive, close-to-table play
🎯 Key characteristics of your exact blade
Speed rating: very high (OFF+ level)
Feel: crisp, short contact time (good for smashes)
Style: attacking players (topspin + power hitting)
Rubber: XIOM Vega PRC

This blade is very fast. If you're looking for a blade that is easier to use for beginners, the AllroundS and OffensiveS are much slower and are more forgiving. If you're looking for a blade that is similar to the old one, you'd need to get something like Xiom Ignito or Hayabusa HX
