Review of Andro Rasant GripI think this is a very fast rubber. Great spin and control is OK.

Review of JOOLA Maxxx 500This rubber is really good for forehand!
But I have to say that the rates about its weight and hardness is definitely inaccurate!!! First, this rubber's weight is very similar to XIOM Omega V Tour and Pro, the max of it might be 46-48g cut on a shakehand blade! But here the weight rating is 6.2, far more than Omega V Tour's 5.0 and Pro's 5.3! Second, the hardness is 50 degree printed on the package, a little harder than Rhyzm's 48 degree, and maxxx 500 feels not as hard as a hardness rating of 8.1, quite similar to XIOM Sigma II pro or Omega IV Pro! the rating is ridiculous.

Review of Nittaku AlhelgThe average weight of 2.0mm after cutting is about 46-47g on shakehand or Cpen backhand. It is not insanely heavy for sure, just a typical medium-heavy rubber weight.
Top sheet is a little bit sticky, but could be neglected.
Throw angle is clearly not medium-high, lower than fastarc series and other famous rubbers, but not too low, could be 4.3-4.5. When you attack in right way, it is interestingly over the net all the time, especially pushing is fantastic, very confident to push to the deep or to wide angle!
Due to its 1.9mm diameter of pips, this rubber is mainly designed for close-medium table game. You can tell this from Nittaku's words: Since firmly grasp the ball in the hitting point of early timing, you can get a more speedy in a wide range of tactics. I believe Nittaku makes it successfully.
Its sound is great, which is a perfect indicator for your hit, I do enjoy the different sound with various power.
Sponge is typical medium, but the thick top sheet is kind of strong. Nice combination, general feeling is very sweet, so Japan.
Speed is definitely enough-9.0, also is spin-9.1. I rate control at 9.7, very very stable with all kind of shots, e.g., aggressive block is as precise as you wish.
All in all, very good rubber for close-medium table games. But do not hope a really high throw angle from it.

Review of Xiom Omega V ProGreat rubber.
Top sheet is clearly soft, and the pips (column) are quite slim, both of them give nice feeling. Sponge is medium in my opinion. Sponge pore is small, similar to classical Japanese rubbers, which feels very unique and makes you confident with your stroke.
Many gears definitely.
Speed is fast but not super fast, good for hard and fast blades.
Throw angle is medium, not too high like Tenergy series. But it could loop very well thank the quality top sheet and good sponge.
Only thing I want to correct is its weight: this rubber is NOT average weight, it IS heavy! the cut weight on a typical Cpen blade is 46-47g!!! just a little lighter than T05, Sigma II pro and most of DHS H3 rubbers.
After Omega IV pro, V pro is my favorite rubber for FH, since my blade is very hard and fast. Some fans could use this on your backhand if you do not mind the weight. Mine is max, but next time I will try 2.0mm, that will be interesting.

Review of Xiom Omega V TourDefinitely a very grippy rubber! I got 2.0mm on a fast 7-ply wood blade FH, super steady and spiny. I did not pay a lot attention to the rating of control, but my counter loop is really better than before when I play with same form!!! I do not know if it is because of the great top sheet or the sponge, I just did it.
I love it! And I will use this one as my FH rubber, replacing Omega IV Pro max (2.0mm will be better though).
Power is good enough, surely better than "OK"; Speed is same to power rating.
The weight is OK, 2.0mm on shakehand blade is 44g. That is why I gave it 9.9 overall rating, it would be 10.0 if it is 40g.
Nice job by XIOM!

Review of Xiom Omega V EuroCut on a standard shakehand blade, weight is 50 grams (max thickness). So it is indeed a heavy rubber, when fastarc s-1 is 41 grams (2.0 is the thickest).
Super spin, you can tell the tremendous spin in 10 seconds for sure. Speed and control are great too. But again, if you can create a lot spin, control will not be bad, and speed after hitting opponent's table will also be good.
Hardness of top sheet and sponge are really medium as rated in this database IMO.

Review of Xiom Omega 3 EuroThis is definitely a very fast rubber. The speed rating here is way too low!
Control and spin ratings are valid.
