External Review for XIOM Vega Europe H on November 23, 2024

Rating adjusted! This rubber can "lift" the ball only for a short moment! Facts: Red rubber, 2 mm, cutted 43 g.(157 x 150 mm) Sponge hardness 45 degree, total hardness (according to the shop "Spin and Speed) is 54.5 degree. The very hard upper rubber is unfortunately very brittle and crumbles quickly. - this rubber feels much harder than other 45ers !!! 1. test on Huieson ZLC (outer), glued with solvent-based glue: This rubber is quite slow, but plays pleasantly directly and with outstanding control. Incoming rotation is barely noticeable, the rotation level of the rubber is well above average. The catapult behavior in the short game is reminiscent of the Dignics 09c, ... just with less speed! 1. Conclusion: for the moment I find it difficult to give a final assessment. ... I will test the rubber again on my Sanwei 75 ALC Inner! 2. Conclusion: now the rubber feels even harder, but is also a bit slower. :-/ ADDENDUM: Big "surprise !!!" ( :-/ ) I bought the covering again (in the same thickness, but in black) and had it glued with "solvent-free glue" !!! Result: he now plays even more directly and has lost even more catapult and speed !!! :-( If I drop the ball onto the surface from a low height, it only bounces a few times, even its "not really sticky." - you would think now, they were two different rubbers !!! (- glued on identical woods.) Conclusion: Even though this surface is a bit slow, it has enough speed to play offensively and gives you immense security and control. However, I would only recommend this rubber in combination with really fast blades and for the backhand side !!! - Considering these two faces of rubber, I have not made any entries in the table !!! ... but here are my ratings: Rubber with solvent glue, Speed 8.6 and Gears "above average. Rubber with solvent-free glue, Speed 8.4 and Gears "average" - using this rubber with booster could be interesting. ;-P
