Light, fast and very sensitive carbon blade for aggressive players
Mixture of powerful attack and very precise block

Very light carbon blade for aggressive close-to-table players. V1 is very hard and speedy blade. But, its thickness is only 5.4 mm, which allows sufficient deformation required by modern aggressive players who play with topspin. Special hard wood is used as surface material, and “Energy Carbon” which provides very high energy efficiency is inserted directly under the surface. The result is the combination of high speed and compact feel. Both of close-to-table topspin and hard smash are very easy. On the contrary, players will easily be able to enjoy extremely precise ball placing of block. The stability and security of V1 even let players win the battle of topspin against topspin. The most recommendable rubber for the combination with V1 is VEGA ASIA.

HIGH-TECH BLADES OF SUPERB SENSITIVITY FOR TOP PLAYERS

NOVUS TOUR CARBON family is designed for skilled, professional players. Advanced technologies are applied to the blades of this family for realizing the optimal performance. Their relatively thin construction provides sufficient deformation and sharp feel those are preferred by top players who mainly play with continuous topspin. They are faster than most of all-wood blades, but the ease of making strong topspin is the same level or even greater. Also, their large sweet spots will make table tennis more stable and more enjoyable. Players can easily dominate the high speed rally of modern table tennis, even with less effort.

Compared to NOVUS HINOKI CARBON, NOVUS TOUR CARBON is more captive. It means that NOVUS TOUR CARBON blades catch ball more deeply along with the increase of impact strength “captive”. It also means that these blades are basically very good for continuous topspin play. The feel of NOVUS TOUR CARBON is sharp and stiff (hard). The information of impact is transferred to player’s hand directly and clearly.

Tenergy 25 - More Spin and Speed for Close-to-the-Table Play

Tenergy is a revolutionary inverted rubber. It combines the original "Spring Sponge" and High Tension-Technology designed by Butterfly. Why 25? That was the code number used in the development stage and it proved to be the best for playing close to the table following extensive tests by both technology and players. Tenergy 25 enables the player to attack with both spin and power whether close to the table or at half distance. It is the perfect answer for the player of today and tomorrow.

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. 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.
