Xiom Vega - Find the best table tennis rubber for your individual style!
The rubbers from the
Xiom Vega series are one of the most popular and most common rubbers worldwide. They not only convince with an
unbeatable price-performance ratio, but also with their
excellent gaming properties, and a
long durability.
The very first Xiom Vega table tennis rubbers appeared in 2010, and they are a solid part of best-seller lists ever since. Particularly, the
Xiom Vega Pro as a top rubber should be mentioned at this point. Other very popular table tennis rubbers from the Xiom Vega product line are the
Xiom Vega Europe (a very balanced medium-soft rubber), or the
Xiom Vega Japan (designed for the medium-fast attacking game).

The fastest version of these rubbers is the Xiom Vega Asia. It behaves in a highly uncompromising manner, especially from the mid distance. With the Xiom Vega Asia, you can exert much pressure on your opponent! In case you prefer soft rubbers and allrounders, the Xiom Vega Elite might be an interesting and easy-to-play table tennis rubber for you. By the way, the Xiom Vega Elite is the only Vega rubber which does not contain the black Carbo sponge.
Due to the permanent developments in terms of rubber technologies, the initial rubber versions Xiom Vega Pro, Xiom Vega Asia, Xiom Vega Europe, and Xiom Vega Elite were complemented by further products. First, there were the already mentioned Xiom Vega Japan, and the Xiom Vega China. The latter table tennis rubber is very hard, and exhibts a highly sticky topsheet. Hence, the Xiom Vega China behaves in a slightly different way compared to the typical Vega rubbers, and was mainly designed for the Asian ping pong market.
As you might know, the introduction of the new ping pong balls made of plastic caused some changes in terms of their flight and jump behavior. Therefore, also Xiom revised their rubbers Xiom Vega Europe and Xiom Vega Asia. As a consequence, the South Korean table tennis brand introduced the Xiom Vega Europe DF and the Xiom Vega Asia DF to the market. The DF technology (DF stands for Dynamic Friction) promises more dynamics and an increased catapult effect to help making playing with the new plastic balls easier.
When searching for the best suitable material, the other approach is to reduce the speed-gluing effect of the rubbers. This causes an increased control during the game. Furthermore, the transition/change from a classical rubber to a tensor rubber with speed-gluing effect is quite large. To deal with this issue, the Xiom Vega Intro was developed. With its medium-hard sponge and the reduced speed-gluing effect, allrounders can breathe a sigh of relief, finally! This is because they prefer harder table tennis rubbers (and not soft rubbers with much catapult), but don´t get along well with the high speed and dynamics of high-end tensors.
The latest addition to this product series is the Xiom Vega Tour. The Xiom Vega Tour is a table tennis rubber equipped with a medium sponge, but it exhibits an extreme amount of catapult & speed without neglecting control. Hence, this rubber is perfect for an uncompromising ping pong game using the new ping pong balls made of plastic.
As an addition to the rubbers with pimples in, the Xiom Vega SPO (short pips) and the Xiom Vega LPO (long pips) may be chosen. These high-quality table tennis rubbers are designed for material players.

Der zweite Belag der neuen Omega VII Serie, der für das Frühjahr 2018 angekündigt wurde, ist der
Xiom Omega VII Pro. Wie schon bei den Vorgängermodellen ist auch diesmal die Pro-The second rubber from the new Omega VII series is called

With the
Omega VII rubber series, the Korean company
Xiom achieved the absolute breakthrough in terms of modern table tennis rubbers with an integrated speed-gluing effect. This is also true for the
Omega VII Asia, which is very fast, highly spinny, and extremely light. The
Omega 7 Asia is equipped with a very hard sponge (52.5 °). This results in much directness, much speed, and lots of power: Perfect for modern attackers with a good technique. Control, however, is decreased in this TT rubber (although control is still ok considering the very offensive style of this rubber). We only recommend this rubber for players who are able to control this weapon (in other words, who have a high training workload, and good skills).
Xiom also implemented new technologies when creating the Omega 7 Asia (by the way: pimples are in). The so called Elasto Futura generation (with Cycloid) enables several positive developments. First, there is a better accuracy (balls are more accurate, and hit the target) and an improved trajectory. Second, the game can be designed with more pressure you can exert on your opponent. Powerful topspins, even at high speeds, result in a sinking trajectory at the end of the flight path. This ensures that the balls have a good length, and improves the safety (smaller error rate).
The hard Carbo sponge, as well as the highly catchy (lot of grip!) topsheet were perfectly matched to each other. Due to Dynamic Friction, there is a better synchronization with the Carbo sponge. Hence, this combination results in much power, and an enormous amount of rotation. This makes this rubber perfect for modern, aggressive attackers (Off+). In addition, the weight of the rubber was reduced.
Find a summary below, which tells you the main differences between the Xiom Omega 7 rubber series (note that all rubbers are basically "Off", and exhibit a low weight):
- Xiom Omega VII Euro: The Omega 7 Euro corresponds to the "softest" rubber within this series. Note that it is still medium-hard (45°)! The 7 Euro is mainly made for variable attacks. This rubber is very suitable not only for safe blocks, but - of course - also for dynamical topspins from the half distance. Also, the Omega VII Euro exhibits an elastic topsheet & thin pips. The corresponding gaming style is Off-.
- Xiom Omega VII Pro: More powerful than the former, with a catchy and elastic topsheet & a slightly harder medium-hard (47.5°) sponge. This rubber is designed for spinny topspins and hard shots from any position. Gaming system: Offensive attacks (Off).
- Xiom Omega VII Asia: Again a bit harder (52.5°) than former rubber. Hence, the VII Asia exhibits increased dynamics. This rubber also has a very catchy topsheet, is very direct, fast, and quite controllable (note that the Xiom 7 Asia is a very offensive rubber). Gaming style: Offensive plus (Off+).
- Xiom Omega VII Tour: The hardest (55°) rubber within the Omega 7 series! This table tennis rubber exhibits an extremely fast & catchy surface, plus an optimal speed transfer! Only one gaming system appropriately describes this brutal weapon: Offensive plus (Off+)!
