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.

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.

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.

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.

Made from best celluloid and checked at every stage of production, therefore there is hardly any variation in diameter, weight and roundness from one ball to another. However, the decisive factor for the use of a ball in top performance table tennis is its consistent hardness, as this is the only way to guarantee an even ball bounce and the best practice. Therefore every ball is tested again using this criterion and only the best are selected. JOOLA GOLD, the ball of the best!! JOOLA GOLD is the ball chosen by the EUROPE TOP 12 tournament in Frankfurt 2008 and the German Cup winners 2007, the TTC Zugbrücke Grenzau.

The Stars on the table tennis ball indicate the quality of the table tennis ball: 3 stars is the highest, indicating that it is of the best quality, 2 stars is for practice, 1 star is for family and recreation.
