Customer review for XIOM Vega Intro

External Review for XIOM Vega Intro on July 25, 2022

I started with faster tensor rubbers with bigger catapult effects. Switching to intro gave me control and confidence in my game. I was no longer overshooting as much as before, and misreading the spin on the serve didn't mean I lost the point automatically anymore.
One major benefit of reduction in speed is pushing and short game. The ball doesn't bounce away as quickly, and you can guide your pushes safely where you want them to go. I started making a lot less unforced errors with this rubber.

As for attacking strokes, with the fast bouncy rubbers I'm always reducing my strokes in fear of overshooting. But with intro I'm able to swing confidently, and therefore also swing harder making up for the lack of speed if any.

It's quite grippy, decent spin.

Keeping the ball on the table won me many more points than any extra speed from faster tensors.

Loving the rubber, using 1.8 on both sides of an allround 5w blade. Agree with other reviews that it's like a slightly sped up classic rubber.
Cheap price too.
