Check out pics of a new Xiom blade range called Omni Hayabusa!
Apparently, there is a new cool composite material called "Zephylium" :-) Hayabusa Z: Hayabuza Zi: Hayabusa Z+: Hayabusa ZX: Hayabusa ZXi:

idk how the blade plays but it looks really good.
maybe this new carbon has zylon in it or something like that. apparently is has a very sharp feel but the carbon is actually very soft and flexible. this looks very....interesting

WOW... pretty...
how much do they cost?
so... what are the differences between "modern", "classic" and "extreme" topspin?

There used to be a Xiom equipment reseller in UK (prott.co.uk), then they went bust, but left a site full of Xiom marketing material around (http://xiomtabletennis.co.uk/?p=76). From there:

Is it just me, or the handle shape seems somewhat different from traditional Xiom blades?

Am I the only who:
1) Thinks these blades look ridiculous and 2) Just wishes Xiom would stop discontinuing blades and stick with some good ones which don't require gimmicky graphics to sell? ... I might be alone

the more I think about these new blades, the less attached I'm becoming to my V-1...
it may go up for sale once I get my Nexy Calix

Hmm, the opposite for me. The more I play with my V1, the more I like it. What's so special about Nexy Calix?

check out the reviews... it's thinner, and the carbon is the 3rd veneer, not the 2nd, so it should be more flexible than V1 but still have the large sweet spot... that's the biggest factor for me. luckily, the one I have coming is 85 grams, just like my V1.
I do enjoy my V1 and at the moment it's my only blade until my OSP Expert and Calix arrive... but after seeing these new Xiom blades... ugh, I use to associate the name Xiom with great quality and prices less than Butterfly... now they're losing esteem with me

I like the handle design on the Zi.
I don't understand the descriptions at all. Xiom doesn't need anymore blades, and most of their composite blades are too stiff, but I can't say I'm not interested in how all of these 5.7-5.8mm thick Limba/composite blades feel. Good thing I don't EJ anymore.

Zi also seems like the most "allround" blade of the series ...

i just talked to ben nisbet from tabletennisstore.us and he said that these blades are supposed to be similar to the timo boll zlf and zlc series. tabletennisstore.us will have them in stock in may.

No one is mentioning anything about the weight. My wrist is afraid of heavy set ups and those can't be light with 158x152cm dressed with a Tenergy and sort a chinese. Apart from it I find them really attractive

.... so here we are in late July... no Xiom Hayabusa... another Vega China story meanwhile, we have time to submit suggestions to Xiom about how they should launch this blade i suggest they give away a t-shirt like this one with the purchase of each blade: and it will be very important that you wear it to each match. ... hey, if your blade is going to scream it, your shirt should also!
