Xiom Vega Pro

I love this versatile blade. The consistency and control are rare in a blade that is capable of extreme speed. My attacks are faster and more consistent and the extreme control and forgiveness encourage me to play sharper angles. If Xiom finished sanding the edges and handle this would be a 10.

Update: I am very disppointed with Vega Pro. It could not survive a single blow and got split into two (just 2 months old). That hurts, you see the cost of the blade. Its so unreliable and requires a substitute blade ready before a big tournament. Agree with Rustt... its truly a versatile blade. Update: Comparing to Viscaria, Vega pro is slightly stiffer and slower in away from the table game. Last 4 years, I have been playing with Donic Ultra Carbon Senso (WUCS) blade so my review is rather relative. Its faster than WUCS and better in almost all departments. OFF-/OFF blade despite being light weight. Very well balance blade. I am Impressed with XIOM quality. Wonderful craftsmanship. Very good with Looping + Blocking game that exceptional quality. Very good for on the table play. Certainly good sweet spot but not as much as I expected. Throw angle is lower than WUCS. Very good feeling, you feel like connected with it. Overall this blade is just awesome. Its fast, but not super fast type. It allows for a very good overall offensive game. With this blade I have low error rate. Since I purchased this blade for enhancing speed, I am little bit disappointed since its not that fast. Someone has done a comparison with BTY Zhang Zike Super ZLC on OOK Forum at following link.

Thanks.

i have been testing the vega pro yesterday combined with my normal setup (omega V asia fh and dr.neubauer viper OX bh). Compareing it to the BTY Viscaria FL which i am useing atm. Speed i would say it's an OFF- blade when rateing the Viscaria as a normal OFF blade, speed feels quite similar to the Stiga Carbonado 145. The Vega Pro doesn't have high vibrabtion at any strokes but still has an amazing touch. CONTROL!!!! is the description of this amazing blade. even if i was out of position i always got the ball to land where i wanted to. As for spin i'd say it comes with a high lvl, on pair with the Viscaria, but not as much as with the Stiga Carbonado 145. I will be trying a Vega Japan on the VH with this blade maybe it will make an improve on spin, according to xioms description the omega V asia should be a bit too hard for the Vega Pro blade. Can't tell much about the pimple play because i didnt play much with my bh this day, but it definitly was very controled too. Gonna update my review when i got to play more with this amazing blade. Still gonna try the Stradivarius and the Zetro Quad too because thouse sound pretty interesting too.

I bought this balade recently and my performance increased a bit instantly. i use it with t05 it weights 84 grams, st handle. the handle is indeed a little thin ( i have fairy big hands ) , control is amaizing. speed around M Maze. but control is better. for both slow and high speed game. throw angle is medium. and compared to other blades, this one, mentains its throw no matter how hard u hit ( flexibles blades, have higher throw the harder u thit.. and hard blades, have low throw when u hit hard ) this one is great in this regard, mantains a constant throw

Obviously all reviews are somewhat subjective. This blade to me is the holy grail. I've tried them all. SZLC, ZLC, ALC, Barwell Fleet, Acoustic Carbon, Dima Carbon - all of them faded in comparison. The Vega Pro has a unique combination of a huge sweet-spot (common in super composites), a speed characteristic that is enough for the 40mm ball without being completely bonkers and a level of control that I did not think was possible in a blade with these offensive characteristics. The only annoying aspect is the less-than-perfect finish. Some sharp'ish edges that need to be taken off with a grinder or sandpaper. Besides that, if you are a decent player, end your search here and get it. Fantastic price-to-performance ratio as well.
