Xiom Omega VII Euro

It is a good rubber and here is why. Firstly, it is definitely designed for the new balls (mid 2018 as of today). It does not spin like the spinnest rubber out there, but it grips the ball so well! Thesedays many rubbers do not grip so well anymore. I tbelieve in order to impart spin on the ball for shots like the banana flick, you need to grip the ball in the limited amount of time and space given. This series, Omega VII Pro & Euro, does that well. Secondly, it’s light. I have tried both Pro and Euro, they are a lot lighter than many rubbers out there. So using it on at least one side of the bat will help bringing down the weight and adjust balance of the setup. When used on both sides, you save a lot of weight and can recover from your strokes a lot quicker. Note that for people who prefer heavy setups, you might not want to use it on both side. Personally I enjoy lighter and softer setup as my swings are more compact due to my own abilities. Thirdly, this rubber controls well. The Pro version shoots off quicker, and to some it might be too quick. On the other hand this euro version, it is a little more steady than the Pro, and still give you way more than enough speed to kill and finish the set off. Need not to say that the softness of the sponge helps in the control department by giving you more dwell and feeling. I use it on both sides of my setup. I appreciate Jun Mizutani’s style so I kinda play like him. I do a lot of backhand flicks, punches, loops, sometimes even logs off the table. My girl friend uses this Euro version on her forehand side. She is a close to table attacker, and she is enjoying a lot more safety and dwell time compare to when she was using the Pro version. Apology for lengthy writing. I don’t usually write review, but I felt like this rubber deserves a shout out. Have fun playing table tennis people!

Great rubber, light and powerful despite the 42.5° hardness, which is the same of Vega Euro, on paper, but O7E is harder and more powerful. It's not an easy rubber, not for beginners, but has enough control to give you touch, feeling and power. It's very spinny, throw angle medium-high. My two sheets in 2.0mm version weight 41gr cut on 157x150mm blade. I'm a two wings looper low intermediate level.

I absolutely love this rubber. It is the best medium hardness rubber on the market. I currently use this on the BH of a Stiga Clipper, and hope to keep it there for a long time. For drives and pushes, it is lovely and controlled, producing good spin. For harder shots such as loops and smashes, it has an extra gear that has noticeably higher speed to finish the point. Advanced players usually prefer something harder, but for us amateurs and local league players, this is truly a gem.

A nice rubber. Like Rakza 7 soft with a slightly softer topsheet. Very easy to play with. You don’t have to be powerful to get a lot of spinn out of this rubber. Very speedy close to table In every way and also speedy far from table as long as you relay on topspinn. It is a soft rubber so trying to hit a powershot from far from the table is not that fun. Not a rubber for the elite but for me it is a god rubber. Trying to reglue this rubber on another blade after some time is hard because it shrinks a bit, like 4 mm.s from handle to top.

Great control, very good spin. When you need it is fast. Very good control in passive game. I forgive many mistakes. Very light weight. A great block. It worked great for backhand on a Tibhar Cedric Nuytinck blade which has a second layer of zylon - carbon.
