External Review for XIOM Jekyll and Hyde V47.5 on September 21, 2024

I stuck this on a Yinhe T11's blade and instantly liked it but after 2 months of using it I found that my technique of hitting through the ball more than brushing the ball made me hit the ball to long when I had not got enough time to return the ball in the middle of a fast rally. Its a very nice rubber but it is not as spinny as I hoped and I have used many more rubbers that I can generate more spin than this.
If you want spin then the Andro Hexer SFX range is quite a bit more spinnyier than this and is easier on the wrist with being lighter.
I did enjoy using the XIOM Jekyll & Hyde V47.5 which gave me a great feel, touch and control but with me using it on my forehand I was not able to generate enough spin with my forehand serves which was disappointing for me. I did try it on my backhand but I much preferred the one I already use.
In summary spinnyish, medium Hvy, quick and consistent if you have the time to play the correct stroke, was good at both attack and defence but was not for me.
It's med Hvy and I will update this review once I find the weight's uncut and cut.
