Xiom Vega Pro - Rotation & Ball Feedback at a Small Price
Xiom Vega Pro - this is one of the most rotational table tennis rubber on the market. In attacking play, he gives a very good feedback on tangentially hit balls. The ball flight curve is extremely curved, so that the attacking game close to the table allows for new, successful moves. The dynamics of each attack are outstanding.
In passive play, the Xiom Vega Pro provides a steady ball feedback despite a hard sponge. Many players are looking for an alternative to Butterfly Tenergy 05. With the Xiom Vega Pro this is exactly what it is.
Compared to Tenergy (price 56,90 €) alone the RRP of the Xiom Vega Pro (price 35,90 €) is 21 € cheaper.
The Xiom Vega Pro is the most popular table tennis rubber in the Vega series. It is equipped with the so-called Carbo sponge and has a sponge with a hardness of 47.5. This fact alone results in a fairly direct attack, a clear feedback and the necessary force to bring any adversary into distress. The basic speed is already very high, so it can even keep up with the Tenergy 05 from Butterfly. This rubber is designed for play close to the table or, in exceptional cases, from the half distance. With only a little effort, a lot of speed can be generated.
For tough attacking players, the Xiom Vega Pro offers the biggest advantages. Especially in striking techniques such as topspin, shot and counter-topspin he develops an enormous power. While many rubbers are currently designed with a very large catapult, the Xiom Vega Pro deliberately dispensed with this. You can feel this coating very clearly as the ball arrives. A negative point is the cut susceptibility. Due to the high basic speed of the surface, it brings some risks in passive play, because you have to be able to master the rubber first. Its full potential comes into play especially with hard-hitting attackers.
Alternative to Xiom Vega Pro
Xiom Vega Rubbers for Tough Attackers:
- Xiom Vega Asia: for uncompromising attackers who rely on very hard, direct and impactful rubber (Tip: high levels of training should be available to master the surface)
- Xiom Vega Asia DF: similar hardness on sponge, softer upper rubber than on Vega Asia, can be used variable, but still with a lot of impact
Xiom Vega Rubbers for Top Spin Players:
- Xiom Vega Pro: for top spinners with good arm pull who prefer hard, direct rubbers with maximum rotation (BESTSELLER & explicit recommendation from TT-SHOP.DE)
- Xiom Vega Japan: for variable top spinners who often play soft preparation strokes but also shine with hard final balls
Xiom Vega Rubbers for Controlled Offensive:
- Xiom Vega Europe: designed for controlled attackers, good ball feedback, with sufficient dynamics to always be able to take the initiative out of the safe topspin and block game
- Xiom Vega Europe DF: Unlike the Vega Asia DF, the DF version of the Vega Europe is a bit faster! So if you like the Vega Europe and are looking for a little more power with the same characteristics, you should choose this rubber!
- Xiom Vega Elite: Forgiving rubber that is very safe and comfortable to play, brings enough dynamics even for controlled attacks
