Excellent Offensive blade for the short to mid game. It provides reliable feedback and more spin potential compared with other Offensive blades. It is thinner than the conventional 6mm (5.8). The handle is thinner for a more angled hold for more wrist action. So be sure you are comfortable having a thinner handle for this style. This blade pairs well with very powerful rubber on the forehand. The backhand is more up to your preference, as it seems to pair well with most backhand rubber preferences. This is not a powerful blade, but it has good controlable speed at a high level.
Speed: 94
Power: 85
Spin potential: 99
Control: 95
Feel/feedback: 93
Touch/short: 96
This is a high-level blade that I would recommend to a spin oriented player who prefers playing closer rather than distance. It is great for looping and chopping, but has a great range of tactical play.
I use FH: Gewo 53 EL Superselect
BH: Xiom Vega Japan.

Reviews of XIOM Feel ZX1 (2)
Pros: Feedback, control, speed, Flex, Price, sweet spot size
Cons: Lack of power, Emblem will fade in an unusual way,
I have used many blades (over 50) and this one has among the best feedbacks from the ones I have reviewed. It is offensive, despite the thinner plies. However, it is offensive for the short game. It has okay power, but that is not where it shines. Shot placement is easier with this blade if you have good technique. However, I would say it is a good adaptable blade for many different level players (pending on what rubbers are placed on it). Although, I wouldn't recommend it as a first blade. It has decent flex, so shots like backspins and flicks are easier to handle.
I would recommend this to someone who likes to play spin aggressive up closer to the table with rubbers that fit that category as well (such as any Nittack Fastarc, Victas V, Xiom Omega/Vega or Yasaka Rakza), and who is particular about good feedback.
