XIOM Vega Europe
Introduced Jan 2009 Spin is the most important element of modern table tennis. Not only the strength of spin but also the stability and secure feel have been desired by many players. VEGA series is the realization of the dream. VEGA is the mixture of two new technologies - HYPER ELASTO and CARBO SPONGE. Both of them are based on TENSOR technology which gives rubber the effect of built-in tension. HYPER ELASTO provides extreme spin and stability, and black colored CARBO SPONGE provides innovative efficiency of energy. Further, the feel of VEGA is exciting but comfortable. Its ease of use will help players play “winning” table tennis. Now four variations are available. All of them provide exceptional spin capability. VEGA PRO is for extreme spin, softer VEGA ASIA is for more speed, VEGA EUROPE is softer with more control, and finally, the softest VEGA ELITE is for extreme control. Strategy: ALL

Feel, spin and control is excellent. Speed is not the main strength but good enough. I can generate speed on my own with more swing as it gives me more confidence. Chop, flicks, blocks are really good. Shots land more on the table with this. Would recommend highly to intermediate players who want to improve consistency in their game.
However, after switching to a FLEXTRA (all-wood blade), the pairing worked beautifully. The control was excellent, active blocking became very manageable, and I could easily execute a wide variety of shots. This setup quickly became my favorite for the backhand.
I also tested it on the forehand, but it felt like it lacked the extra gears you'd get with slightly harder rubbers.
Overall, this rubber is a fantastic choice for backhand players who value control and versatility, but forehand players might prefer something with a bit more hardness for added power.
One thing to note is that you won't be able to play passively near the net due to the high catapult effect. However, once you adapt and adopt a more aggressive style, this rubber becomes a formidable weapon. For those who think it’s slow for the forehand, this might be influenced by the blade you're using. With my 9-ply blade, I can easily hit winners and generate significant speed.
While looping isn’t as effective compared to other tackier rubbers, it performs adequately. The control is exceptional, thanks to the longer dwell time this rubber provides.
