Xiom Vega Europe Hybrid
|
Review of Xiom Vega Europe HybridBought this around 2 weeks ago. Put it on a T11s Yinhe 2 ply 1 carb balsa core (OFF+)
2.0 mm for my BH. This is a rubber that is anything but. Meaning it has only grip and catapult if I use all of my force at the point I have no sense of control.
Try to just lift a ball the mechanical tensor is to hard to activate.
My conclusion is that this rubber might be a dead one at 2.0 mm.
My carb wood blade is slow with slower rubber. I bet a softer more forgiving surface might have been better to activate the tensor.
Reminds me of the previous rubber Tihbar MK Hybrid. Also a rubber that is dead but soft.
I would have said either would have been good if they atleast could dampen a hard ball on a passive block a bit from the table but nope.
So if you are going to try is if you are playing medium speed on a soft wood, only on a harder carb if you push, flick and use your wrist since this rubber needs alot of force to live, atleast in 2.0 mm in BH.
I still think Tihbar and Xiom have great rubbers but I am amazed how bad these two has been.
