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 of XIOM Vega Europe (127)
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.
