Customer review for XIOM Vega Korea

External Review for XIOM Vega Korea on March 11, 2026

I used Vega Korea on BH, and it comes only in max thickness, which is unusual. I measured it to be around 2.1 mm instead of 2.3 mm, but the sponge is very dense. This made it much heavier compared to other rubbers I tried. Out-of-the-box spin is monstrous, even higher than Vega X, but after a few trainings it stabilizes at the Vega X niveau. Serves are spinny and easy to do, though they go slightly long sometimes. A short short game is excellent; if you just let the dense sponge absorb the impact, you can let the ball drop directly behind the net without spin. With spin, the ball goes longer but not long enough for the opponent to start a counterattack. BH Topspin goes with a medium arc over the net but needs good timing and forward motion when the ball is not very low. If you forget to start low enough, it will go straight into the net. Chopping works great with not much force applied and is very effective with high spin and low straight trajectory. Passive blocking is stable but slower, requiring a carefully chosen bat angle. Active blocking and flicking overwrites the opponent's spin beautifully if you use enough wrist, which is a bit hard due to the weight, in my opinion. In conclusion, this is a very capable rubber for focusing more on generating spin, as speed comes by itself with a slight loss of control.
