Oh , come on my dear friend . Do not make a big fuss about a few gramms . As you can see they are ordinary kitchen scales and not those used at pharmacies after all Furthermore subtle alternations may occour during production process. It is the superb feel (and distinctive sound) produced that makes me wanna hit, smash and enjoy the game. |

a french guy wrote that on the 1st French tt site:
ZEPHYLIUM ® is a polymer exclusively developed for XIOM blades and has a tensile strength 1.6 higher than Aramid. Vibration gives a natural feel and ball speed is improved. Ball control is amazing. Carbon fibers with ZEPHYLIUM creates extra energy and improved ball feeling. ZEPHYLIUM is a trademark of XIOM. XCARBONE is the name of Carbon materials developed exclusively for XIOM. Carbon is the basis for increasing the speed and resistance. Carbon fibers can develop different properties, methods of training. XCARBONE is a superior fiber that fits well with natural wood. Driven into the wood or polymer materials, XCARBONE creates a better and softer feel than other Carbon fibers. |

From the picture looks like the ZXi hhas Koto top plies, and the ZX has Limba. Is this correct? Which one of the 2 is camparable to IF ZLC?

I read before that yes, the ZXi has koto outer plies; in fact it has the same composition than the TBS if you replace BTY Arylate Carbon by the newer material that Xiom introduced: Zephylium.
In both cases the Zephylium is right behind the outer ply while the IF blades have the composite carbon stuck to the core. The TB ZLC has Koto outer plies so my answer would be that the ZXi is closer to the ZLC. |

It's just a blessing (for me) that Xiom doesn't (CAN'T?) make good decent Anatomic handle version for some of these "High ends".
I hereby lay my EJ "dream" for this Xiom to rest.....

I am confident you are mistaken about the Zxi: look at those pictures of my 1st Zxi: and the close up picture right after that post (plies). |

In the ZX it says 'Zephylium Carbon character in the second layer makes ZX feel sensibly sharp but unbelievably softer than other composite blades', what does it mean? I wish some one who has the ZX can confirm the structure. If ZX is indeed has the Zephylium close the CORE, then it looks like they have the descriptions mixed up, and the ZX is a lot like the IF ZLC, which I maybe interested in.

you make such a strong point!!! maybe they did invert the descriptions. We need to put our hands on a zx now.

Hello mhnh007
I went to xiomtt.com and here is what I see; obviously different than the picture in the OP ('third layer' instead of 'second layer'); they made corrections. Thank you for underlining the problem. So I guess your answer is that the ZX is closer to the IF ZLC and the ZXi closer to the TB ZLC. The description of the ZXi still mentions zephylium "towards the center" though; I am receiving a 2nd ZXi very soon so we'll see if I get the same composition structure. |

the Zi has an ayous core sandwiched by Zephylium (not Zcarbon); a strong candidate for Innerforce lovers who do not want the hardness of carbon.
koto - limba - Zephylium - AYOUS - Zephylium - limba - koto reminder: Z = Zephylium (competitor of Zylon); ZX = Zephylium Carbon (ZLC competitor); I have not figured out what the i stands for in Zi and ZXi. any idea? |

by the way my favorite handle in terms of fashion (...) is the ZX. |

for Internet, like in iPad, or for Intake, like in XDi SUVs
And what does X stand for, in that chain of thoughts? I don't see X in "carbon".

So from what I understood Zxi is softer, lighter and faster than Mizutani? If yes then it's definitely for me

it is DEFINITELY softer and lighter (at least my 2 blades are almost 4 to 10gr lighter than the 4 MJ I have owned in the past).

I guess you meant only faster than the Andro blade then, right? So is it slower or same speed then?

I have the Z+. Its a great blade. Per your question:
"the ZX it says I believe that my Z+ PLAYS THIS WAY: Its very crisp and sharp. It is also very solid feeling. I have the TB ZLF and the Xiom zetro quad. This blade feels like an Off - to me. Both the ZQ and the ZLF feel slightly faster but only barely. I agree, that it feels like the ZLC. The ZLF feels softer and less crisp but its just not as fast as I expected.

OK, I think it all makes sense to me now. They did not just get the description mixed up, the Description is correct for the name. However, they got the name mixed up LOL. Whoever setup the printing, is probably going to get canned :). I think the 'i' in Zi, or ZXi is supposed to stand for inner, just like the Innerforce in BTY blades. The 'X" I think is suppose to be Extra, for the added Carbon.
So this is what I think they want to do:
Z = TB ZLF
Zi = IF ZLF
ZX = TB ZLC
ZXi = IF ZLC.
However, they got the 'i' and the non 'i' mixed up. I did try the IF ZLC, and really like it. I hope if anyone has play with both IF ZLC and the ZX and confirm their similarity.

So, this is the actual list then? Z = IF ZLF Zi = TB ZLF ZX = IF ZLC ZXi = TB ZLC So where does the Z+ fit into this? |

This was a great signature until I realised it was overrated.

WOOOOWWW!!! mhnh007 this makes a lot of sense; if it is true then it means the whole series is all mixed up and yes, somebody might start applying out there. they will probably argue the "i" means the zephylium and zeph/carbon is right after the top ply; the "i" means something like "instant" to express the zeph or zeph/carbon material acts more...instantly because so much closer to the point of contact with the ball. would you buy it? |
