Stradivarius (Xiom)

Written by neversolis - Top 5 reviewer - View all my reviews The xiom stradivarius blade is a very good ofensive blade.

it is a very good feeling offensve blade, not too fast with a very good touch and feeling. in terms of looping, i think it is one of teh best blades out there for nice consistent loops. the only downside is it is not a very powerful blade. if you style of play is kind of consistent looping and outhitting your opponenet, thi9s blade is probably very good for you. The blade is on the lighter side, and the hardness is about average. it is a verty nice blade, and good for offensive player of anyskill level. it is not too expensive

Written by t3h anarchist - #1 reviewer - View all my reviews The xiom stradivarius blade is a very standard offensive blade. I think it is made a little more for european style of play rather than the chinese style. What i mean is that it is a little better for a war of attrition strategy of playing. It is not terribly fast, but it has rather good control. instead of like chinese style of looping as hard as you can and trying to end the ball as soon as possible, the stradivarius is good for keeping a very consistent rally to out rally your opponent. It has a very good touch for looping all sorts of shots, though it is somewhat harder to make a killer loop.

It is a good blade for offensive players and it is about the same speed as a butterfly m maze.
It works very well for the modern topspin game and the blade has a nice flexibility with a good feel and control near the table, it is a blade to play active with, in the passive game it is a little less easy to control, hitting is ok with it but it depends on your rubber, it can be used by beginners and by more advanced players with ease. It is a very very good blade in my opinion, nicely balanced
