Xiom Vega Intro - Medium sponge meets catchy topsheet

The Xiom Vega Intro is characterized by a medium-pored and medium-hard sponge, and a very catchy topsheet. This combination, plus the new Physi-Elasto-Technology, result in a precise and controllable game, which is one strength of the Vega Intro TT rubber. This rubber provides a high level of ball safety (even when doing precise shots located at the corners of the table): This is not only true for counters and blocks, but also for serves and returns.

Also, safe topspin openers following spin are going very well. This is achieved by the catchy surface of this table tennis rubber (topsheet). The Xiom Vega Intro exhibits an integrated speed-gluing effect, however, to a lesser extend compared to usual tensor rubbers. This leads to small decreases of the final speed. This speed deficit can be compensated by using your arms in a more pronounced manner, especially considering fast and aggressive strokes.

The optimally balanced combination between precision/control, spin, and speed makes the Xiom Vega Intro a rubber which is quite "easy to play". Its gaming properties make this TT rubber worth a recommendation, particularly for players who think about a transition from classics toward the new tensor rubbers. Furthermore, the Vega Intro only exhibits a small catapult-effect. This is beneficial for beginners and young players who should first learn a clear and accurate technique.
