XIOM Cho Dae-Seong TMX PRO ST: A New Launch Worth Documenting
Featured Item: XIOM Cho Dae-Seong TMX PRO ST
Quick Thoughts
-
Ever since the inner carbon Cho Dae-Seong earned market recognition and a devoted following, XIOM has been on a roll—outer carbon Cho Dae-Seong, Ice Cream Pro, Cho Dae-Seong Pro, and now the new Hugo… one release after another. A customer mailed us this blade for a rubber change, so we took the opportunity to put together this equipment log.
-
Trapezoid box in blue-green. The straight handle is similar in shape to the Zhang Ben ALC’s round ST. The blade retains the large 158 x 152 mm head size.
-
The face is printed with Cho Dae-Seong’s signature and an exclusive logo. The handle uses five colors—black, orange, teal, white, and deep blue—and the labels on both sides are oval-shaped.
- Looking at the structure: KOTO face ply, with outer carbon—a combination of three materials (aramid fiber, ZL fiber, and carbon). An outer-layer composite on a large-format head is actually fairly uncommon.
