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

Reviews Summary
✨ AI-generated summary of customer reviews.
Pros
- The rubber offers excellent performance at a reasonable price. It has strong spin, speed, and control, making it suitable for intermediate players. It also works well on both forehand and backhand.
- The rubber is durable and retains its grip even after prolonged use. It is particularly recommended for players adapting to an all-round looping game. It offers good spin and speed, and is efficient in ball placement.
- The rubber is lightweight and has a high-grade, grippy topsheet. It is excellent for looping and lifting backspin. It is also very good for pushes and accurate placement, and can be used at mid-distance without any problem.
Cons
- The rubber tends to shrink significantly after installation, which can lead to it popping off the blade during use. This issue can make the rubber look poor and may require additional effort to install properly.
- The topsheet of the rubber is fragile and can rupture easily. Despite its good spin and blocking capabilities, the fragility of the topsheet can be a concern for some players.
- The rubber is extremely bouncy, which can make control difficult. It is fast on slow strokes and slow on fast strokes, which is the opposite of what some players may prefer. It also has a low weight, which may not suit all players.

Ideal intermediate setup: H301/TBS/INNERFORCE ALC or ZLC + 09C (FH) + Vega Europe (BH).
It's good for everything and has no real weakness. Can be glued on any type of blade.
Not very speedy but if you know how to activate the tensor you can get enough speed to score. For specific game styles there are better options of course but if you look for a balanced rubber on the inexpensive side, this is the safest bet on the market today.
