I went to Thailand and went to a TT shop. They had a few promotions and I bought the Xiom Tau without any knowledge of what it is. It came paired with a Nittaku Flyatt Hard. I am not a pro, so I just trusted the shop's selection for a pair. I was far from knowing that these are both FH rubbers, with totally opposite feel. So, I am using the Xiom Tau as FH and the Nittaku Flyatt for BH.
Initially, the Tau seemed too hard and thick, it just seemed like a spinny brick. After a couple of hours I adapted to this rubber style and now I am doing deadly topspins with it. The sound is incredible, it will make that crack sound easily even when doing counterspins. Now, I've fallen in love with this rubber and just want to play more and more. Btw, I am using it with a Stiga Classic Allround NCT. Now, I just need a decent BH rubber to go with it.

I can name 100 rubbers that has more spin than this. Bought mine on TT11 and i got surpeised over the speed, not used to so slow rubbers. Someone said that it has good spin. I use to check the spin by hitting around the net a few times and my serves, that is my main weapon, and by playing sideloops and topspin. Sometimes measuring with a machine that counts how many times the ball spin per sec. That is a neat way to measure. Anyway spin in this rubber wasnt good. I dont mean there is no spin, but if you compare with other semitacky rubbers like Nittaku Fastarc G1, Nittaku Hurricane 3 Pro, both orange and blue, Yasaka Rakza Z, Rakza Z Hard, R48, Butterfly Spinart, Tibhar MX-S , especielly new Nittaku
the spinniest rubber on earth and suitable for soft stiff wood clipper with very good durability! This rubber after 200 hours of playing is still in good condition... Control is not perfect when you put this rubber on artificial type of blade like harimoto zlc or joola zelebro but when you choose soft wood blade, this rubber is miracle, and red colour is better because it has less tackiness and it is more 60 degree than 57,5 degree. I recommend it for amateur players who likes spin balls
