I tested this rubber in red and 2.0 mm sponge thickness. In the first session the rubber felt very hard and was super springy, which led to a lot of errors, but luckily after the second training session this changed. The rubber became softer, and the catapult became very linear. This is an offensive rubber, so unsurprisingly topspin is where it really shines. Hard topspins against chops are easy, and it doesn't matter if this is the second, 5th or 10th ball; you can just always loop it back (if you have enough stamina). Power loops/smashes are a lot of fun and most often direct points, but it's easy to overshoot the table a bit, so be careful. Blocks can't be played passively, period. If you do, every ball will fall into the net. In general this rubber needs to be played very actively also due to the pretty high spin sensitivity. For topspin you either have to decide between a very open angle for a spin-focused loop or a very closed angle for a speed/counterspin-focused loop; anything in between doesn't work well, and then fully commit with no hesitation and full power. If you do, you will get an amazing spin on every shot. Flicks are fast but need a bit more clearance over the net, in my opinion, or they go over the line. Short balls are easy to keep short but not easy to keep low. Going in with your whole body and a good forward motion is key. Chopping is possible with good spin but a very high arc; this is an all-out offensive rubber, not an all-round one!

Xiom Vega X is a topspin rubber of the latest generation. This top notch table tennis rubber is one of the best spin-creating topspin rubbers in combination with the plastic ball. Due to its playing characteristics and hardness, the rubber is a worthy successor to the Xiom Vega Pro. The surface of the Vega X was completely reworked resulting in an improved overall performance.

One of the rubbers that works well both on forehand and backhand. Weighs around 47gm when cut on standard off blades. It is somewhere between c1 and g1 in terms of hardness. If blade is flexible/soft, can be used in bh. If blade is hard can be used in fh. It gives more power with less stroke like tenergy rubber. Hitting topspin is easy. Can be considered as alternative to tenergy. One of my favourites given the price point.
So I've used this long enough to formulate an opinion on it, and I find it to be a very good forehand rubber for a developing to intermediate player and it would make a nice backhand rubber for an intermediate to advanced player much in the same way as G-1. The best way I can describe how this rubber plays is a chilled-out G-1. It doesn't have as much speed, spin, or throw as G-1 does, but that's not such a bad thing and it isn't by a great degree either. It's just enough to be chilled and a little less hot. Very predictable, linear, and spin insensitive as well. Solid rubber.
Really good rubber with a really good amount of control while maintaining good speed and spin nothing insane like hurricane but i can still get the grip on the ball really good for developing players to advanced players
