XIOM Stradivarius Shakehand Blade

An offensive blade with Aramid Carbon placed toward the outside, offering rebound and low vibration

The Stradivarius is an offensive shakehand blade with 2 layers of Aramid Carbon placed toward the surface. While it bounces well, vibration at impact is kept down, and its distinctive trait is the quick way the ball leaves the blade. It suits players who want to generate speed while still attacking with stability.
