Xiom Omega VII Asia

Slapped this max thickness on both sides of an inner carbon blade. Heavy. Opaque feedback. Difficult to activate the sponge. Good spin.

After 3 months, it becomes much better to play with, although still not quite as good on the BH. The topsheet is pretty much immortal, and you only need to clean it with your breath. Probably would have played better with 2.0mm thickness or slapped onto a faster outer carbon blade. Would be lighter too.

When you hit the ball, you feel the power, and you can tell the difference with the Xiom Omega V11 Europe.

Review text:

Have everything, speed, spin. I used it on FH.

This rubber is very durable and provides strong spin. However, to master it, you will need good technique.

Nice control.

Fast rubber with a hard sponge. The rubber is in perfect condition and arrived super fast to Canada.

I use this rubber on my backhand. The hardness and low throw angle are what I like about it. The hardness allows for more extreme shots to be played, while the throw angle makes it harder for my opponent to return the ball.

The spin is on a good level, but the speed is quite nice. Having carbon in the sponge makes it a lot lighter than other rubbers in its hardness class, which helps me bring my whole set-up to a more comfortable weight level.

This rubber is good for everything except long-distance topspins. It does not make it bad, but it just does not have the necessary power to make counter loops from long distance. Tour has this power. In any case, it is a very good rubber.

I used one on my Bty. Taksim CPH blade. One of the very good rubbers in the Xiom OMG 7 series is similar to Pro & Tour but much better than Europe. It can definitely be compared close to Bty. T05 series of rubbers.

Another Xiom rubber to be recommended is Vega Tour. I used two pieces and it was such a good surprise that it played much better than Vega Pro. I’ll try the new Sigma 3 & 4 and will write reviews.

I was expecting more spin!

The rubber feels spinny.

Para mi gusto, el mejor caucho para mi derecha (grosor MAX) es muy controlable, rápido y gira bien. En duelos de pegada contra pegada, siempre sale victorioso y hace todo bien.

Powerful forehand rubber.

This rubber feels softer than 52.5 hardness. It’s easy to play with. Compared to Vega Pro OA7, this rubber is more dangerous and has more spin. The characteristics of these two rubbers are similar. However, this rubber is a bit spin sensitive, so you need to concentrate when returning serves. I would prefer 2.0mm thickness because I like to play close to the table.

Omega VII Asia (FH)

• Great for smashes
• Very fast

Fast rubber with lots of control. Not for beginners. TT11 offers fast and reliable service.

Hard sponge rubber, but I found that it suits my backhand. Fast, skinny, and accurate is how I would describe Xiom Omega VII Asia. It seems very durable and appears to improve the more you play with it. It needs a bit of running in. A joy to play with.

I play penhold and I need something with more power on my forehand side. The topsheet is not very sticky, but enough for me to play some sick loops. The powerful sponge also allows me to forehand drive very far from the table. Close-to-table blocking is also good with this rubber.

Отличная резина для атаки, но дорогая.

Used a few Xiom rubbers, but this is one of the best. Easy to get used to and my BH was on fire as soon as I started using it.
Buy it!!

Fast with perfect control.

As a Jpen player, I am always looking for a rubber that fits my aggressive playstyle. I am very happy to say that I have found it.
I play it mainly with a Xiom Hibi-O and occasionally on a Cypress G-Max. With the hibi-O it is a delight to loop and drive. If you put forward energy, it explodes on your opponent’s side. If you loop, there is so much spin, it continues spinning forever even after you finish the point. The blocking capabilities are also great, if not fantastic. I would say it is the perfect compromise between a Japanese and a Chinese rubber (even being a Korean manufacturer). I would rank it in the same level as a Tenergy 05, but Xiom Omega VII Asia gives me a larger smile. You’ve gotta test this!

I have used 2 Omega VII rubbers on my BH so far. Compared to the earlier version, the Omega VII has noticeable improvements on looping and hitting power. The Asia version generates a huge amount of spin. I feel very confident in my BH looping and hitting than ever before.

A great quality rubber, as expected from XIOM. I practice 9 to 10 hours a week, so this is not for an amateur. With good technique, you can do anything with this rubber. Very spinny and very fast. Good for the short game. It really shines when counter looping or when blocking aggressively. One of the best rubbers out there.

Omega 7 Asia (O7A) is a great attacking rubber in my opinion. I currently play with it on both sides of my Apolonia ZLC blade in 2.0 thickness. O7A has great speed, control, and spin. For now, it’s the only rubber that can somewhat replace Tenergy 05 for me on the backhand of the Apolonia blade.

However, it is quite sensitive to incoming spin. Also, the ball can sometimes fly away with a high arc if you make a mistake with your shot. So, this rubber is definitely not for beginners. Even intermediate players (I hope I am already in this category, but I am not sure) can have some issues with it.

Another con is that this rubber (at least in 2.0 thickness) doesn’t have great power on the forehand. Control is great, but in comparison to Andro Rasanter R50, which I played on FH before, it really has much less power.

I plan on trying this rubber in max thickness on my FH. Maybe this will fix the issue with the lack of power, but I’m afraid that with max thickness O7A will be too much for me to handle at my current level. However, I have already ordered the max version of O7A and will try it soon.
