External Review for XIOM Jekyll and Hyde C55 on December 9, 2024

I have done three training sessions with this rubber, this rubber is impressive. Suitable for my level of play, enough speed, great control! It is good to pull topspin, it is good to play counter-balls and blocking is also great with this rubber!
One of the best rubbers. Before that I played Nittaku Fastarc G1.
My personal opinion is that Xiom Jekyll & Hyde C55.0 is even higher than Fastarc G1.
The artificial intelligence AI has done a pretty decent job.

This rubber for me is better than Dignics09c and easier to use than blue sponge national hurricane neo.

You need to have good fundamentals to combat the relativly low throw angle and get a lot of speed out of this rubber (chinese hit brush technique is perfect for this rubber). If you hit hard it has excellent power and arc and light brushes are also better than on a lot of hybrid rubbers. The feeling of the rubber goes more towards tacky chinese rubbers, although it has less tackiness. Maybe you can even play it on your forehand and backhand, if you are a high level player. For blade combinations, I would choose a flexible blade, that is not to hard and not to slow.

Good hybrid rubber that requires good technique. When you do the right thing, the ball quality is insane, but if you play lazy the ball just dies on the bat because of the tacky topsheet + hard rubber. It is also very spin-reactive, especially on incoming topspins you have to close your bat more or go more towards the net when hitting.

It has very good control in active blocks, it's very direct and has very low throw (which sometimes makes it a bit harder to lift backspin). It feels like a hurricane 3 sometimes, but a lot faster when you go into the sponge.

Because of the hardness and spin sensitivty, this rubber should be used by advanced players.
