XIOM Jekyll and Hyde C55
by XIOM
XIOM developed Jekyll and Hyde C55. This is the first dual-tension rubber with X-Factor that doesn't require booster dual tension and is already built-in. This was made possible only by artificial intelligence. Jekyll and Hyde C55 has a thicker top sheet, shorter pimples, and a more compact pimple arrangement.
The Jekyll and Hyde C55's top sheet is coated with optimized stickiness and minimized gap, ensuring an enhanced feel when hitting the ball. The optimized integration between the top sheet and sponge further enhances this experience, providing a clearer, more intuitive feel.
Inside the Jekyll and Hyde C55, XIOM's new sponge engineering technology, Epsilon sponge, features smaller and more uniformly distributed bubbles. This, combined with the low pimple geometry, increases the energy transfer from the sponge, ensuring that even when hitting far away, the sponge can power more directly deliver to the ball.

Reviews of XIOM Jekyll and Hyde C55 (8)
this is such a great rubber! short game, it offers nice touch, great control. when you need control, it gives you control, when you need speed and power, it will give you speed and power. when you are caught in a bad moment, it will help you. ok ok, you still have to play, it's not rubber that will play instead of you. but it will help you. and most importantly- it will make you enjoy table tennis.
not a beginners rubber, though. still fast, still need some good technique to extract all the potential out of this rubber. plays way softer than 55, feels like 50 rubber. catapult is sort of progressive - the more you ask from the rubber, the more it will give you, ie, close to table, blocking, you are in control, but if you want to add more power, you will have it. if you are in mid distance, just putting spin on the ball, it will do just that, but if you engage more sponge, add more power, it will engage catapult and help you. boy oh boy, do I enjoy playing with this one!
unfortunately, I hit the table after 14 days of playing and cannot vouch for durability, but will probably get a new one soon (have some other rubber to test first).
blade used - Xiom AJH TMXi.

new NEWs! ... dear Hugo Calderano, dear Xiom Team, ... dear KI, ;-P thank you so much for this amazing rubber !!! Facts: minimal sticky black rubber with 55 degree sponge, 2.1 mm. 106 g. in original packaging and 72 g. uncut. Cut to 157 x 150 mm, 48 g. (second one: black, 47 g. by 155 x 147 mm.) Tested on an XVT ZL Koto. (... very fast outer blade, rubber glued with solvent-based glue!) FIRST impressions:This rubber plays very controlled and not as hard as advertised. What was particularly striking to me was that my first topspins flew very, very far, which initially required some adjustment. The trajectory was more medium high and the rotation absolutely outstanding. - I think we have "THE NEW SPIN MONSTER" here. The sensitivity to incoming rotation seems quite low. Short game over the table is very easy to controll. Serve and Counterspin are amazing !!! A few days ago, I (to my shame, finally) learned the difference between the terms tackiness and stickiness in a video. In this regard, I had to change my rating for the 55.0c (as is now necessary for several of my other reviews!!!) I will compare him with the (a bit slower) Dig. 09c, which I've been using most recently, in the next few days. Addendum: If the rubber wasn't so heavy, I would also stick him on my backhand. :-D ATTENTION !!! ... very important note: When comparing the C 55.0 with the Dig 09c against a pimpled player, it turned out that the C 55.0 actually takes on considerably more generic rotation than expected. I was completely more confident with the Dig!!!
I've been using it on my fh for about 2 months. At the beginning, the rubber was medium tacky and slightly sticky. It could barely lift the ball. The sponge is very hard and dense, but the topsheet feels soft. It felt softer than the J&H Z52.5 when pressing with my fingers. This combination has a lot of advantages in my opinion. It offers great feeling and you can do slow loops without needing to engage the sponge every time, making it more forgiving compared to other very hard chinese or hybrid rubbers. Drives have medium trajectory, with a very loud clicking sound, which means it come heavily boosted. Topspins have a medium-low arc with a lot of spin and a strong kick once the ball lands on the table. It behaves very similar to H3, but much faster and longer trajectory. You need to perform full strokes and use your legs. Serves feel amazing and are loaded with spin. I can place my serves wherever I want on the table easily. Receive is also great, as you can keep the ball short, however you need to be a little aware about your angle when you push backspin serves as they can go into the net. I assume it is because of the medium-low arc, but overall, the control is amazing. FH flicks clear the net quite easily and feel really good, even without proper technique(I suck at this) or engaging the sponge. Blocks are easy to perform and have ok speed. I recommend active blocking because it absorbs a lot of energy. Durability wise, I am a bit disappointed, as the topsheet seems to be worn out already because it has huge white spots and I can see the pimples through it after only 2 months. I clean my racket after I play and I use protective films. Overall, this is a great and intuitive fh rubber for fairly advanced and fit players(you can't be lazy), with similar characteristics as Chinese rubbers, only much faster.I will give it another try because I really enjoy it. It feels very natural to play with it. The blade I am using is a Nittaku Septear Feel Inner.
I don't know what these reviewers are smoking but this rubber is unusable if it's not boosted. After boosting it's fantastic. Without boosting, throw it in the garbage. If you are into boosting then you know what I'm talking about. By the way, every pro boosts the rubbers.
