PLASTIC BALL READY
FOR TOP PROFESSIONALS DYNAMIC FRICTION AGAINST SLIPPERINESS UNPRECEDENTED CONTROL AND EXTREME ANGLE SHOTS
Dynamic Friction Technology is developed for the Plastic ball. Plastic ball will replace the Celluloid ball from 2014 in official games. Performance parameters of the Plastic vary from the Celluloid, which mostly impacts on the professional players. Dynamic Friction Technology originally adopted from the Snow Tire physics makes the unprecedented level of friction on OMEGA V. Dynamic Friction of the table tennis is different from the normal friction because the rubber in the fast movement should make the proper friction against the also fast moving balls, without the decline of repulsive power. Dynamic Friction rubber grabs the slippery Plastic balls far more firm and solid at the contact. Control of your ball with Dynamic Friction is simply beyond your expectation. And as a consequence, it increases the spin rotation dramatically - at the same speed.
Thanks to the higher friction you can also catch the ball at the extreme angle, which is truly a professional advantage. Get ready and win with us!
The test setup gave a wonderful direct sensation during topspins, flat hits, and blocks, making it really delightful to play with. In fact, the Omega V Asia might be the best blocking rubber that I have tried. I would characterize the throw angle as medium – plenty of safety over the net when looping, and not too high allowing excellent flat hitting. The presence of a small catapult meant that I did not have to use as much effort in my strokes as with Chinese rubbers, but more than with the Omega V Tour or Tibhar’s MX-P.

This is the rubber which does everything very well, and covers most play styles you can think of. It's a hard 50 degree, porous sponge with a soft topsheet. Zero slip with new balls with a feel of immediate grab and dwell. Like many new ESN rubbers, it isn't very bouncy in the low gears, and the hard sponge makes it very linear and easy to use. On flat hits and drives it isn't as sharp and definite as some rubbers (soft topsheet takes the edge away), and it's a bit reactive to spin in passive situations. On more brushy shots it comes alive, with arc and spin increasing strongly. Service and short game are very impressive, blocking feels slightly indirect but is easy to do. Very strong when in a mixed looping situation with great returns from brush looping and more drive-based looping. Lacks a bit of pace when driving the ball in comparison with speed-monster rubbers, but this increases your percentages and the top-end speed is still fast enough. Definitely worth considering if you're coming from a hard, chinese rubber (although it isn't tacky at all), or if you want a highly linear, spin-focused eurojap rubber.
This is a fast rubber with a hard sponge. The spin is really good but there are other rubbers with more spin like Xiom Omega V Europe but considering it's speed it is well balanced. Throw angle is medium. Overall a good rubber focusing on speed and a hard sponge. Don't use it with stiff blades or blades with little control because in my case i used Stiga rosewood XO and there was a lot of vibration so aside from that a balanced rubber and really good for forehand.
Excellent spin and speed. Works well on a stiff blade. I am using this over Dignics 05 and MXP 50 which was my last two setups. Works well for me short and mid distance. Lobs are not as good as with MXP 50. Really spinny chops and pushes. Good loops and counters.
I've been using this for 1 year now and I have a really good idea of this rubber. This rubbers Pro's are:Speed:It is really easy to both smash and loop. Spin: This rubber has a really good spin. Comparable with the EL-S' spin.
Cons: Control: Hard to control if you are new and requires good technique. Throw Angle: this rubber has a medium to high throw angle but it is hard to hit the table with it.
