I use Xiom Omega 2 Asian on my Xiom Omega Pro Blade. This is quite a good rubber! It is very bouncy, so you will need time to control it. Overall, I am satisfied with this rubber.

Update: I have updated several items (control, tackiness, and throw angle). My opinion still stands. This is a fast tension rubber that has decent control and is not too spinny. It is, however, heavy rubber.

Fast but not enough spin.
Not suitable for beginners.

Xiom Omega 2 Asian is quite a good rubber for intermediates. This rubber is very fast, but it lacks in control and spin. (The speed may be due to the BIOS Tensor Rubber.) So it might be hard for beginners to control. It is not recommended for beginners or for use on an OFF+ blade, which would maximize your speed and limit your control. I recommend this rubber for use on a flexible and light blade.

It’s extremely fast.

Agree entirely with Glenn and gekogark. The speed is fabulous, although the spin has room for improvement. The adequate spin and high speed make it difficult to control (especially when cutting in my opinion).

As said, it is great for smashers and attacks.

I use it with Xiom Hayabusa ZXi.

This rubber is fairly easy to review.

It has fairly poor control, but good spin. However, the highlight of this rubber is its speed.

Unless you are used to using extremely fast rubbers, you will need to practice for a few sessions before you get used to this one. But when you do, your shots will be devastatingly powerful.

This rubber is extremely fast - the fastest of the Omega series. While it claims to have a hard sponge, I find it around the same as the Roxon 450, and much softer than typical Chinese rubbers. This is especially obvious after some usage of the rubber, whereby the initial pumped-up bounciness of the rubber making it feel harder disappears.

This is simply the fastest rubber I’ve tried. (There is NO comparison with Tenergy - 64, 05, or 25). It smacks extremely well, but I find it lacking in the loop department. Spin isn’t there.

I’m not sure who would suit it. Probably a fast forehand-minded player or a J-pen player?

I agree with Geko below me. Try it before you buy. It’s not for everyone.

The Omega 2 is a rubber designed for all-out attackers. If you can control this beast, it plays an uncompromisingly offensive game.

But be warned, the bounciness and speed come at a cost. This rubber could actually be the hardest to play with in the short game (unless you flick). However, I’ve also heard some people are okay with it. The bottom line is, “try before you buy” because it’s not for everybody.
