External Review for XIOM Vega Asia on April 12, 2020

I bought this rubber for about $22 in a deal from aliexpress and using it for almost 3 months so far on forehand. As I've used Xiom vega Europe on Forehand for a long time, I'm comparing the stats of the Asia directly with the Euro. Here is my short review from mytabletennis site-

Been playing with Xiom Vega Asia since a week now on my DHS 301. It has a crisp sound, grabs the ball enough and does play semi-similar to Chinese rubbers. Requires effort to lift underspin balls and with its low throw, not as easy as Xiom Vega Europe. Doesn't feel bouncy as long as you don't engage the sponge on pushes, vice versa on strong loops which spins the ball like crazy. Flat hits are not forgiving, so don't go with a balsa blade setup with this rubber. You'd need an all round blade for sure. On Backhand, you need to close the blade enough to create a spinny arc. Far from the table play is much better than Xiom vega europe as there is more speed and blocks the ball well with out much reacting to the incoming spin. Given these properties, It would definitely grow on someone who wants to advance their game to next level.
