Review of Xiom OMEGA 8 CHINA

Very bad rubber in my opinion. This is because they called it “China” and it is really not like a Chinese rubber when it comes to hard, direct feel… It has a really soft and squidgy topsheet with a medium hard sponge, but the topsheet is tacky and holds the ball well so they should’ve made the sponge harder (around 55-57) like Stiga did with the dna dragon power. Mind you I feel the same way about Rakza z which is also too soft, although even that is a little harder feeling than this. If you have big proper strokes, get the Jekyll and Hyde instead. I am using this as my temporary backhand rubber but even then it is terrible for blocking and driving because it is squidgy and dead. This is an awkward sticky tensor with no low or high gears. Just medium gears with very squidgy and laggy feel only good for one shot (banana flick), but even then it could be spinnier…
