EXTRA PLAYING PROPERTIES BY NEW CARBO SPONGE AND TOP LAYER
ADDITIONAL CLICKING FEEL FOR SHARPER CONTROL

EXTRA SPINS WITH NEW HIGH TENSION COMPOSITION

Historical evolution towards full "speed-glue" aggression. Based on Hyper Elasto technology the new top sheet matched with upgraded Carbo Sponge offers extra-ordinary playing properties. Feel at the ball contact fully assimilate the clicking sensation generated by speed glues. New High Tension composition and additional built-in tension make the ball more spinning and its trajectory significantly higher. OMEGA IV PRO stretches the ball from opponent's court very fiercely after the bounce as if launched from speed-glued rubber.
Omega Series

Built-in tension of OMEGA series exceeds the average speed glue effect and the booster effect made by uncomfortable and illegal liquid gluings.

Boosters and Speed Glues are illegal

VOC packed speed glues damage the environment and the health of the people. It has also been damaging the image of table tennis. Since ITTF announced the new regulation to stop the speed glue for the benefit of table tennis, as a bounce back of some habitual gluers, some boosters were introduced to the market. But boosters are still skin-irritating hazardous compounds against the spirit of new regulation. Finally ITTF also banned the boosters along with any substances other than water glue simply to attach the rubber on the blade.

The ITTF regulation 2.04.07 "The covering material should be used as it has been authorized by ITTF without any physical, chemical or other treatment, changing or modifying playing properties, friction, outlook, colour, structure, surface etc..."

True spirit of ban can be found in new technology applied to OMEGA series. OMEGA series of Rubbers are not only clean and safe but also professionally performing at top level of table tennis play. Speed and spin the players used to get from VOC speed glues are fully built into the OMEGA series. Level of built-in-power and spin effect in OMEGA series is even higher than those from boosters and speed gluers. Instead of struggling with toxic substances, you simply put OMEGA and just focus on your game to win.

Safer Spin attack with upgraded control

• More chances and less miss-outs with "big window"
• New Black carbo-sponge to generate more power
• Longer lifetime and durability of rubber

Vega Europe has the highest ball-trajectory to create a larger safe-zone (big window) over the net. Empirical test shows bigger window effectively increases the success rate of your attack and reduce the chance of miss shots. Very easy to make spins Vega Europe also has the deeper ball catching feel at impact for the control. New black Carbo Sponge maximized the internet efficiency to generate additional energy onto the ball. Ball flies with more power as a result. Resilient tensile structure improves the lifetime of rubber by 30-50%.

Professional Spin Weapon!

XIOM introduces a highly durable and strong spin generating tensor rubber, XIOM Vega Asian. Innovative enlarged attack window over the net is a speciality of this German rubber.

The XIOM Vega Asian uses the "hyper elasto" technology and a revolutionary black "carbo sponge" - more power to reveal your skills.

Double lifetime and max durability.

Vega Pro has the deeper and longer ball-dragging feel at impact which reflexes upgraded tensile force of rubber to make more spin rotations. Spin-innovated Vega Pro makes higher and more curved ball-trajectory to create the largest safe-zone (big window) over the net. New black Carbo-Sponge maximized the dynamic efficiency to generate additional energy onto the ball. Accurate response to player's intention also makes more opportunities to lead the rally game. Resilient tensile structure of Vega Pro increases the lifetime of rubber to double.

Cold Blooded Destroyer with Decisive Power. No-retreat continuous topspin to rule the game.

• 7.3mm Thickness Power Construction Hinoki Carbon
• Elasticity vs Weight Enhanced by 3%+ from Competitors
• Pro-Preferred Sharper Touch Feel tha Competitors
  

Accelerated speed from very thick construction with superb feel Kiso Hinoki and energy efficient ENERGY CARBON. You can feel the destructive power even from far distance topspin attack. Counter topspin attack in continuous rally tops your opponent. ENERGY CARBON Innovated from old X-Carbon delivers the soft and clear feel at impact to help your control in continuous topspins. Attacking ball heavily weighted by amazing speed and super spin is extremely destructive. Combined with the soft European OMEGAs or ZETA, AXELO exceeds any competing peers in the offensiveness.

Novus Carbon Series

New Generation Kiso Hinoki Carbon For New Era! Feel Of Wood And Speed Of Carbon!

The solution was ENERGY CARBON. Carbon blades were not preferred by professional players since they could not find the natural feel to control the ball at the impact. ENERGY CARBON is enhanced in energy efficiency from the old X-Carbon to reflect the ball feel more clearly and softly. ENERGY CARBON also recreates your swing power more efficiently at impact. Combination with the legendary blade material Kiso Hinoki stretched the advantage in power. Each model of NOVUS CARBON series has its own unique focus and is in harmony with new generation rubbers of XIOM.

Super Combination

Kiso Hinoki + Energy Carbon

3 Novus Carbon models have faster and repulsive character than key competitors in general while FEEL parameters show very reasonable balance. This creative and distictive positioning identifies NOVUS CARBON as the new carbon blades in post-ban era. Power generated by lighther but energy effifient constructio increases the chance of success in attack. Feel is surprisingly balanced when you hit the ball.

New Feel Measure

Standard To Explain The Feel

Traditional indication of OFF+ or ALL also does not help the players to understand the most important character of a blade - the feel and control. The feel is a decisive factor to select his/her own blade because it influences directly on the control in high speed game like table tennis. Score system like control = 93 disregarding the object and standardized measure also confuses the customers. Feel or control cannot be easily measured and explained in numbers. As an example, 7 ply blade has been regarded to be faster in speed, harder in feel, and less easier to control. But the test proves that 7 ply can provides the clear and sharp feel to promote your control eventually. XIOM focused on setting new objective standard to explain the feel measures through the sound and vibration researches. HIT FEEL explains the stiffness feel of a blade mainly from hardness, weight, and thickness of a blade. TOUCH FEEL tells the sharpness feel at impact influencing more on individual control behavior. XIOM assumed that FEEL can be measured by the vibration behavior of a blade. Control is concerning the weight of a racket , the matching rubbers of a blade, and more importantly FEEL character of your preference.

Introducing Energy Carbon

New ENERGY CARBON replacing X-CARBON from 2008 has ultimate performance character as the carbon. CARBON promotes the highest elasticity with the mixture of wood veneers; higher than ARAMID, ZYLON, and TEXALIUM. The speed character is unmatchable, but the traditional CARBON fiber cuts the vibration too fast at the impact. As a result, players can not get enough information from the impact to react on if not trained for a long time to use the CARBON blades. ENERGY CARBON was developed to enhance the energy transfer rate to the level of 10+% vs X-CARBON. Higher efficiency in energy transfer helped greatly on the vibration problem. More natural vibration you can felt with ENERGY CARBON blade series - NOVUS CARBON. ENERGY CARBON is a key element of NOVUS construction.

Kiso Hinoki for Shakehand Plywood

Kiso Hinoki is being produced from the limited area of Kiso mountain in Japan. High repulsive power, light-weight, and ideal feel characterize this legendary blade wood. Original Kiso Hinoki materials are very scarce and not-comparably expensive. XIOM has advanced in Hinoki wood processing technique for the last years and made the super quality Hinoki veneers to apply at NOVUS series. 0.6 ~1.4mm of various thicknesses are used to create very distinctive performance in each model.

Innovative topspin weapon by “QUAD” technology
Ideal balance for modern offensive players

ZETRO QUAD is a blade for topspin. Aiming of ZETRO QUAD is purely the improvement of the ability of topspin. “QUAD” means our innovative technology of using four layers of artificial materials sophisticatedly. Zylon fiber which directly placed under top layers increases the ability of grabbing ball. Soft carbon fiber under middle layers adjusts overall performance, and at the same time reduces the unnatural feel which is the shortcoming of Zylon fiber. Top layer of selected KISO HINOKI guarantees comfortable feel. The result is great ability of topspin. Making heavy topspin is effortless, and even secure. Players will always be able to take initiative of their game by effective preparatory topspin attack, and keep it by continuous topspin from any distance.

NOVUS HINOKI CARBON
SUPER COMBINATION OF POWER AND STABILITY

The variation of NOVUS HINOKI CARBON is greatly expanded by the addition of new model. NOVUS HINOKI CARBON is the combination of legendary KISO HINOKI wood and advanced technologies. ENERGY CARBON is newly developed carbon of enhanced energy efficiency, and provides better feel and more power than conventional carbon fibers. QUAD is another new technology of sophisticatedly adjusting the performance of table tennis blade. All blades of NOVUS HINOKI CARBON family are fast, and suitable for power play. But KISO HINOKI grants them very comfortable feel and high level of stability.

Compared to NOVUS TOUR CARBON, NOVUS HINOKI CARBON is more “repulsive”. It means that NOVUS HINOKI CARBON gives ball more speed along with the increase of impact strength. It also means that player can easily select his/her technique between topspin and hard smash. The feel of NOVUS HINOKI CARBON is mild and stiff (hard). Though these blades give hard feel except for ZETRO QUAD, they also give mild and comfortable feel. It is the reason of their ease of use.

Boosters and Speed Glues are illegal

VOC packed speed glues damage the environment and the health of the people. It has also been damaging the image of table tennis. Since ITTF announced the new regulation to stop the speed glue for the benefit of table tennis, as a bounce back of some habitual gluers, some boosters were introduced to the market. But boosters are still skin-irritating hazardous compounds against the spirit of new regulation. Finally ITTF also banned the boosters along with any substances other than water glue simply to attach the rubber on the blade.

The ITTF regulation 2.04.07 "The covering material should be used as it has been authorized by ITTF without any physical, chemical or other treatment, changing or modifying playing properties, friction, outlook, colour, structure, surface etc..."

True spirit of ban can be found in new technology applied to OMEGA series. OMEGA series of Rubbers are not only clean and safe but also professionally performing at top level of table tennis play.

Spin Weapon with Upgraded Speed

Higher Success rate with "Big Window" over the net.
New Black Carbo-sponge to generate more power.
Longer lifetime and durability of the rubber.

Vega Asia construction aims at speed performance for offensive players on the platform of spin-innovation Hyper Elasto. Deeper ball-dragging at the surface for spin and fast repulsion from the matching sponge for speed are superbly balanced. Higher ball-trajectory opens the larger safe-zone (big window) over the net. New black Carbo-Sponge maximized the internal efficiency to generate additional energy onto the ball. More Spin rotations also compensate the speed against air resistance. Resilient tensile structure improves the lifetime of rubber by 30-50%.

ZETA Dream Combination

Chinese Tradition reborn in new technology

Dream combination for Chinese playing style. Balanced between extreme power and superb control. Breakthrough TENSOR BIOS for close-to-table offensive plays.

Revolutionized Technology

Impact Mechanism of topspin

The force at the impact with the ball is combined with 2 directional forces. Vertical force N creates some speed and helps the horizontal force T to create more spin rotations. In the modern  table tennis game, T force facilitates the most of agress and power. Speed glue effect enhances T over N. XIOM rubbers in TENSOR and TENSOR BIOS technology also focus on increasing T without speed glue while improving N and energy transfer dynamics at ball impact.

Breakthrough to exceed boosters and speed glues

TENSOR technology replacing VOC speed glue effect and booster effect greatly in the last decade. TENSOR BIOS introduced in 2006 reached the level of maximum spin and speed performance without speed glue over TENSOR 1st, 2nd,3rd generation. ZETA for Chinese professionals adopts the new TENSOR BIOS generation which is more stable in dynamics than its original generation. T and N reached the theoretical maximum and exceeded the level of heavily glued or boosted rubbers in average. The consistency in ball trajectory and the precision in ball control are superb if compared with any oter rubbers available.

Customization in real play

The technology itself is not at all complete to satisfy the player's need. To succeed in making final consumer products, the research on the real-play application is a must. Wide variety in stroke habits and playing skills of different player groups require "customization" of the technology to each group. XIOM divided the various play styles into major groups - European and Asian. Developing the final products into 2 different characters is an outcome of our studies over years. Not only 2 versions vary at the sponge hardness but also by the core characters needed by each group.
