External Review for XIOM Omega VII China Guang on May 14, 2023

Despite the name, Omega VII China Guang (O7CG) doesn't have a tacky Chinese topsheet comparable to any Hurricane. It's rather a hybrid rubber, to me it's similar to Tibhar K3, with just a slightly harder sponge (hence, less springy). From what I read, it's also similar to D09c (but I never tried that one). It's a rubber that requires advanced skills to be used. In short game, it's great and you can do anything. But the more you move away from the table, the narrower the window. Even just 1-2 meters from the table, if you aren't active enough (not enough power or too short strokes), the ball ends in the net. And when you really engage the sponge, the arc becomes surprizingly high and it becomes hard to keep the ball on the table. Beside that, spin control is very good, the rubber isn't much spin sensitive and you can do spinny services easily. For loops rallies, it's brilliant as long as you stay close to the table. Compared to Vega China, O7CG is bouncier and way less tacky. If you really want a Chineese feeling, but don't want to buy from DHS, get a Vega China (or Victas TDE) instead, it's tackier (and cheaper). I use O7CG on a Tibhar JC (inner dyneema/carbon) and I think it's a good pairing but I will try it on an outer carbon blade someday to see if it gets better (broader window) like K3 does. Comparing O7CG, VC and K3 (all max): service O7CG=VC>K3. loops K3>O7CG>VC. spin VC<O7CG=K3. speed K3<O7CG<<VC. control VC<K3<O7CG. short game O7CG=VC<K3. counter top O7CG<K3<VC. bounce K3<O7CG<VC. block VC<O7CG<K3.

Very heavy rubber 56g cut to Viscaria. Not as tacky as H3. I prefer Xiom Omega VII Pro over this one.
