I play with a hard-hitting style, primarily from close to mid-range to the table. This rubber sheet is my favorite for the forehand.
Both the rubber surface and the selected sponge are finely tuned and function perfectly. They provide a fast, bullet-like velocity, while the underlying sponge ensures excellent control. This is something I truly appreciate when playing with the Asia-OMGIII.
Smashing and spinning from a distance are also executed well; however, players may need some time to get accustomed to the optimal swing and stroke required at first.
I absolutely love this rubber; it represents my extreme preference in table tennis.
This is a good rubber; however, it is not very durable.
Great rubber!
I have a Xiom OIII on my Sardius, and the combination turns out to be amazing: a fast blade paired with soft and precise rubber. If you are an aggressive attacker focusing on your forehand, this may not be ideal, as the time the ball sticks to the rubber is relatively long. However, if you decide to use it for your backhand, hitting and blocking is very good, although topspin may require some extra force.
The lifespan of the rubber is impressive. As an active player, I have been using it for six months with negligible degradation.
The only drawback of this rubber is that it is extremely difficult to remove the glue, as the backside is quite soft. I recommend using a ping pong ball rather than your finger for this task. Only reglue when it is nearly falling off the blade, because a thick layer of glue may lead to poor performance and a shorter lifespan.
Overall, this is a wise choice!
Xiom offers a great rubber that excels in generating heavy spin. It is particularly effective for blocking, proving to be very consistent, and is also suitable for flat hitting. The serves produced with this rubber are fairly spinny, similar to those made with Sriver, while net play and shot game performance is excellent.
On the downside, like many tension rubbers or speed glue effect rubbers, the price is somewhat high.
Overall, this rubber is a quality choice for players looking to enhance their game.
The sponge of this table tennis rubber is very hard, making it highly effective for blocking, topspins, and chops.
If you are looking for precision, this is the rubber you need. The topspins produced have a low throw angle and are quite fast. Additionally, blocks are easily executed thanks to the favorable throw angle.
