Xiom Novus Ignito

Many of you might think: "A Carbon blade with good feeling and control? Impossible!" Well, the Xiom Ignito is quite different! It is a table tennis blade from Xiom which indeed provides substantial feedback, despite the Energy-Carbon reinforcement (3 wood layers + 2 Energy Carbon layers).

The Carbon reduces the weight to only about 85 g (Carbon is a very light material). This results in a smaller physical effort necessary to perform quick and highly accelerated strokes. But Carbon also exhibits many properties making the Ignito suitable for (extremely) offensive players (Off, Off+). These are an increased directness, speed, power, and stiffness. The combination of the highly offensive Carbon component with the 3 natural wood layers result in above mentioned feeling and control.

In addition, this combination makes the Xiom Ignito a blade which significantly reduces unpleasant vibrations. This further improves its ball feedback, no matter what situation you are in. As a consequence, serves and returns are good to control. Additionally, topspins are another strength of this TT blade. Generally, one can say that this TT blade allows a high speed of topspins (at low physical effort), no matter if aggressively playing close to the table, or from the mid distance.

For the above mentioned reasons, it can be said that the Xiom Ignito is optimized for the variable and topspin-pronounced attacking game. Due to the good feedback of this table tennis blade, it exhibits a better control compared to other Carbon blades. Hence, the Ignito is also suitable for players who used an all wood blade in the past (in fact, the Ignito is a good recommendation in case you want to change to Carbon blades). For an optimal performance, you could combine the Xiom Ignito with rubbers such as the Xiom Vega Pro, or the Xiom Omega V Europe, for example. The Xiom Ignito is available with a straight or flared handle.
