Artemis ALX

The ARTEMIS ALX is a high-performance offensive blade from XIOM, engineered with an outer Axylium Carbon composite layer that delivers exceptional speed and power. Axylium fibers, known for their high energy efficiency, are woven together with carbon to create a sharp, powerful ball release with outstanding repulsion. The 5+2 ply construction (five wood layers with two outer Axylium Carbon layers) provides a direct, crisp feel ideal for aggressive attackers. The blade features a standard head size of 157x150 mm, offering a generous sweet spot and excellent consistency. With a CATAPULT speed rating of 83 and BALLGRAB control of 84, it balances blistering speed with surprising control for an outer carbon blade. The REPULSION stiffness rating of 9.3/10 (93 on a 0-100 scale) reflects its rigid, high-repulsion character, making it perfect for powerful topspins, smashes, and quick counter-attacks. The ARTEMIS ALX is suitable for advanced and professional players who demand maximum speed and a crisp, direct feedback without sacrificing too much control. Its outer carbon placement ensures immediate activation on impact, making it ideal for a fast, close-to-the-table offensive game. The blade is available in FL (Flared) and ST (Straight) handle types. With an estimated weight of around 88 grams and a thickness of 5.8 mm, it offers a solid yet maneuverable feel. The release is scheduled after August 2026, marking XIOM's continued innovation in composite blade technology.
