Used as BH rubber, following many recommendations online.
I like it, I honestly can't tell the difference between this and rakza 7 soft which I use now.
Both are medium soft and nice rubbers. I am able to hit quite hard with BH on them, and keep the ball on the table. Sometimes I'll throw in a BH serve with right sidespin, and it often gives trouble to the opponents.
Xiom vega europe in 2.0 was perfectly fine as a BH rubber for me, when I was learning to play, and also as intermediate. I think that the softness makes it easier to execute faster shots with less effort.

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
Distance from table: Mid to Far
Speed: 85
Spin: 91
Control: 73

Reviews of XIOM Vega Europe (116)
Nice rubber. Used it on the backhand and forehand. good control and decent spin.
It suits perfect to my backhand, but it tears apart as soon as you touch the table with it, i was about to rate it 3.5 out of 5, but maybe i should use edge tape
CONTROL! That's the one word I'd use to define it.
Coming from Tenergy 80 and Omega VII (on my backhand) I was a bit dubious, also because Vega is cheaper, but I gave it a shot..and OMG this is way better for me! The perfect backhand rubber.
Medium-soft sponge (42,5 degrees), great feeling, super consistent, low throw arc. Vega is great if you look to control the game with blocks close to the table, it gives you a huge amount of confidence. And also you have all the gears you need for your backhand loop from close to mid range.
Give it a try, also considering the price.

Max thickness is 61g uncut, 43g cut. Easy to play rubber for any level. It's easy to make spin on any shot with this rubber. However, the problem with this rubber is topsheet durability. The topsheet starts showing abrasion and loses grip after only 5 hours of play. This doesn't affect shots that sink into the sponge, but affects brush shots.
