The Xiom Omega VII Pro is a top-tier table tennis rubber designed for players who demand precision and power from their equipment. Noted for its exceptional speed rating of 93 and impressive spin capacity at 87, this rubber caters to the modern player who thrives on aggressive playstyle from various distances. With a sponge hardness of 47.5 degrees, it strikes a fine balance between responsiveness and control, making it ideal for both forehand and backhand shots.
In terms of tackiness, the Omega VII Pro has a relatively low rating of 1.7, which might lead some to believe it won’t generate significant spin. However, this rubber compensates for its lack of tackiness with an extremely grip-enhancing top sheet that produces highly effective topspin, especially during loops and counterattacks. Players transitioning from tacky rubbers like DHS Hurricane 8 have noted the rubber’s ability to maintain a high spin level, both on topspins and under spin situations, despite not feeling tacky to the touch.
The weight of the Omega VII Pro is categorized as medium, allowing for agile movements without sacrificing power. Durability is rated at 6.3, indicating that while it may not be the longest-lasting option, its performance remains consistent and reliable during its lifespan. For players seeking alternatives, the Tenergy 05 has been frequently mentioned as a comparable option, though many reviews suggest the Omega VII Pro offers a better value for its performance at a lower price point compared to the popular Tenergy line.
The top sheet feels a bit softer compared to Omega 7 Pro. If you’re used to playing with 47.5° rubbers on your backhand, this will feel like an upgrade, offering more spin, better control, and easier to open against backspin balls.
Compared to the Omega 7 Pro, this rubber provides more spin and improved dwell time. The only area where the Omega 7 Pro has a slight edge is in punch shots.
5-star.
Very good rubber. It is fast and produces good spin. Producing the amount of spin this rubber is capable of takes good technique. It has a medium throw angle. If you have good technique, it can do whatever you want very well (loops, drives, chops…). Some things are not as easy to do as with a Vega Pro, but the power and lethality of the shot are amazing.
