Exceptional spin capability by “Aramid Carbon”
Sharp and compact feel for top offensive players

STRADIVARIUS, which has been one of the bestseller of XIOM, was reborn for top players of new era. Aramid Carbon, which is the mixture of vibration absorbing soft Aramid and highly elastic Carbon, provides ideal performance for professional offensive players. STRADIVARIUS catches ball deeply with sufficient deformation, but the residual vibration after impact is greatly reduced by high-tech material. The results are the combination of exceptional spin capability and stable feel. Player can feel the moment of impact directly and clearly without any irritating vibration. The topspin attack close to table or from mid-distance is very powerful and secure. When combined with new “Hyper Elasto” rubber such as VEGA PRO, STRADIVARIUS shows even greater performance.

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.

Omega Series

Historic advantage of rubber technology proven real-play performance after the ban

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

For the true spirit of table tennis

VOC packed speed glues damage the enviroment 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..."

Amazing new technology for the spirit

True spirit of ban can be found in new technology applied to OMEGA series. OMEGA series, are not only clean and safe but also professonally 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.

Kiso Hinoki 5 Ply to win in high speed rally. Incredible feel and momental control.

The birth of JAZZ landmarks a new standard of blade construction. Premium quality Kiso Hinoki out layer offers superb feel and speed at touch with a ball. Center layer of special thickness in balance with Kiso Hinoki layer is harmonized by unique middle layer of hard African wood. Compact head size promotes this unique construction to create more focused feel. Stability in the control of ball direction is simply surprising. Diversified characters are living inside of this unique JAZZ. Ball follows the blade as much as you intended at your topspin. The feel is elegant and very clear. On the other hand, JAZZ repulses the ball amazingly fast in smash, which was not common in 5 ply construction.

Revolutionized Wood Blades In New Harmony With New Generation Rubbers

Ideal blades minimize the loss of energy and promote the rubber to make its intended performance at full. They also should deliver the sense made by the ball impact exactly and clearly to the brain through a body. XIOM developed the unique system to develop the ideal blades by a series of time taking researches. NOVUS SPEEDWOOD series are revolutionized in new system and design to enhance the efficiency in energy transfer and vibration transfer. Each of 3 blade models in the series has its own very distinctive advantages but focuses on the balance with new TENSOR BIOS rubbers of XIOM. XIOM new generation rubbers for 2008 ban of speed glue can be fully exploited with NOVUS SPEEDWOOD series.

Innovated construction of speedwood

NOVUS SPEEDWOOD series are developed to match with new rubber series of XIOM. Escaped from traditional construction SPEEDWOOD series used unique veneers like SUPRUCE and KOTO. SUPRUCE has its own unique character in hardness, density, and vibration. KOTO is quite hard/heavy but excellent in feel transfer to improve the overall balance of a blade. NOVUS SPEEDWOOD carefully selected the natural wood to use by weight and density.

Positioning of Novus wood blades

Novus Speedwood

High performance blades for post-ban era completed by VIBROTECH. 3 models cover the bigger range in character. Very different identities at rather extreme positioning are created all by 5 ply construction. Stable and very distictive characters make SPEEDWOOD series unique.

Novus Swedish

Focused on professional use with very balanced positioning in character. All made with original Kiso Hinoki surface created the new feeling and the new performance. 3 models has relatively similar characters but with delicate differences. Energy efficiency has been greatly improved by SCANWOOD technology.

New Speed Measure

Standard To Explain The Speed

The traditional terms like OFF- or ALL+ confuse the players to identify the real speed character of a blade. So far the table tennis industry did not use standardized and object measure to explain about the speed. As an example, ALL blade is generally accepted as a 5 ply blade with low rebound and lightweight for allround play. But top players use ALL blades to play very speedy and aggressive games. Swing speed, experience, and rubbers can influence more on the speed character. The speed character cannot be defined by simple rebound height of a ball from the blade surface. XIOM adopted new speed measure from 2008 to explain the speed character of all blade series. REBOUND MEASURE indicates the repulsion level of construction influenced by hardness, weight, and thickness. HIGH SPEED PERFORMANCE explains the moment reaction of a blade against a high speed ball in real play paradigm. Good new is now that these measures are object and standardized by testing machines.

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.

Essence of pure power in new 5 ply wood construction. Born to topspin.

• All wood but power oriented construction
• Energy loss from deformation reduced by 12% from XIOM Maximus
• Clear but comfortable energy fell
  

It was the common belief that 5 ply blade has a good control and feel but slower speed. ARIA breaks that myth without any doubt. While keeping the natural feel of 5 ply all wood blade, ARIA has the pure sense of aggressive power. Thicker but character-balanced veneer combination greatly enhanced all the expected speed measures. ARIA re-structured the energy efficiency and vibration performance from European classics. Each layer has a new balance with another to maximize the overall power capability. Such a powerful topspin from the far distance you can make with easier control. Construction aims at the match with softer OMEGA European series.
