Rubber Xiom Jekyll & Hyde Hyde C55

The Xiom Jekyll & Hyde C55 rubber is the first dual tension rubber with X-factor that does not require an optimizer booster and is already built in. This was only possible thanks to artificial intelligence. Jekyll & Hyde C55.0 has a thicker top layer, shorter pimples and a more compact pimple arrangement.

The top layer is coated with optimized tack and minimal gap and optimized integration between the top layer and the sponge that allow for a clearer and more intuitive feel when hitting the ball.

Inside the Epsilon sponge, our new sponge engineering technology, the bubbles are smaller and more evenly distributed. The low pimple geometry increases the energy transfer of the Epsilon sponge, so even when hitting far, the Epsilon sponge can send power more directly to the ball.

Hugo Calderano's choice for both the forehand and backhand, Jekyll & Hyde C55.0, is the result of years of AI-aided experimentation, leading to the development of the Epsilon sponge.

- AI X-FACTOR:

Jekyll & Hyde C55.0 is the first dual-tension rubber to feature the revolutionary X-Factor technology. This innovative rubber eliminated the need for external reinforcements, offering built-in dual tension for superior performance.

- More control close to the net:

Densely arranged pimples reduce void spaces within the top layer, allowing players to feel the impact of the Epsilon sponge more intuitively. The optimized structure of the top layer intertwined with the sponge allows for more precise control at close range to the net.

- More power from distance:

The newly developed Epsilon sponge contains small bubbles, structurally arranged to synergize with the short pimples and minimize energy loss. This special combination produces powerful shots even from far away from the table, something that was never possible with past technologies.

Sponge hardness: 52.5 degrees.
