What an amazing blade! For the price of inexpensive ALC, you get Xiom’s ZLC, which to me gives much greater control in most elements.

This seems to be a real driver’s blade. While normally I mostly brush loop, with XVE it doesn’t seem necessary, as all drives land very close to where I want, with great spin.

Prior to this, with my level of skill, I thought landing 3 balls in a row on a white line, in the same spot wasn’t possible; but here comes XVE and does it first time asking.

Great control! Having played for 2 years with H Zxi (also Xiom’s ZLC under one layer), I wasn’t really surprised.

And with Vega Euro being the cheapest blade in the series, while Vega Tour being the most expensive Xiom’s shake blade overall, having read the reviews, makes me think Pro and Tour must be even better and really remarkable.

I had Simon special 999 - FH and Huifu Shark 2 - BH while testing. XVE was immediately singled out by friends as something special among my collection.

With this series being out of print, you can find Vegas sold both above and below their original RRPs, which are stated on the manufacturer’s site.

Excellent blade that is light and has a comfortable handle. It plays slowly near the net, but has a fast extra kick on powerful shots. It does not pair well with hard rubbers like Vega Pro, but is an excellent match for Vega Euro and Vega Asia. It has a very big dwell time, good feel, and makes topspin play easy. I highly recommend it.

Great blade. Together with Andro Rasant Beat 1.7 and DHS Skyline 3 2.2, this racket is really a power machine. Spin is insane, backhand really powerful. Loops are extremely gentle and spinny. And to me, the most important thing: Ball placement is so easy. Speed with Top Spin Forehand is fatal for each opponent. Great blade, worth each cent.

I tried one a few months ago, and it felt very good, so I bought one for myself. I had some oldish Tenergy 64, and it came out as a very good combo for my style of playing with very good spin and speed. Amazing control. I’m sure it would work nicely with Tenergy 05 as well. I use Tenergy 64 on my forehand and Tenergy 80fx 1.9 on my backhand.

Amazing blade. Very nice feel, little vibrations, just for the good feel.

I’ll make a comparison to the other blade I have - Clipper wood. XVE is harder, less jumpy on slower balls. But when looping the blade flexes and the throw is higher, easier to loop. The clipper demands more effort. Also, XVE is faster. All this close to the table.

Very good short game too with Chinese-like rubber. I use Xiom Vega China. Regards!

Started to try a week ago. Nice speed and control. Medium heavy. Will review after a while.

Played for almost three months. Very good blade. Control is a little bit ahead of speed. Only drawback is that sometimes you may not find inner power, particularly when you try to loop the ball. Anyway, great blade. Strongly suggest it.

I used this blade for more than a month, so I can give you a fair review. I have tried many expensive blades (Stiga NCT V, Butterfly Innerforce ZLF, ZLC, Zhang Jike ALC), but Xiom Vega Euro is the best for me.

Vega Euro is classified as an offensive minus blade, which means it has a lot of control and feel. The blade is flexible with a medium feel, which can be fast, but it depends on the player’s preference on how they hit the ball. My blade is 86 grams, with a head size of 152 x 158, giving it a huge sweet spot. I love it.

Perfect control and good speed. Best with fast rubbers.
