External Review for XIOM Aria on March 22, 2015

I am using Aria with Xiom Vega Europe 2mm (both sides).

Former user of a Tibhar Samsonov Alpha SGS with Acuda S2 and Bluefire JP01 Turbo.

I must say that Aria has a lot of control and has enough power to drive untill mid distance in full harmony - remember that i am using 2 Xiom Vega Europe, which are not the fastest agressive rubbers you can get.

Pair it with rubbers according to your needs and you will be fine.

It's light weight and a little head heavy with the rubbers glued, but it has not affected anything of my game (ST handle).

I'd say it's very fast for a 5ply and you should not use it as a first custom setup.

I feel that topspin x block and topspin vs topspin are the principal features. Blocking is OK, but as it is fast, you must pay attention to your racket angle. Lets say... You can easily block a shot so fast that the opponent will make a passive shot and you have the chance to kill the point. However, that speed also can make you miss the table.

Summing up: Blade for offensive style, topspin, smash, until mid distance. Has speed but also great control.
