Hi folks,
I have been using the Vega Tour rubber on my forehand (FH) with a Butterfly Taksim blade for over a month, and I really enjoy it. Before this, I had the Omega 7 Asia and Europe rubbers.

Amazingly, the Vega Tour performs very similarly to the Omega 7 Asia. While it may be a little slower, it is much cheaper and lighter in weight. I will report on the durability since the Omega 7 rubbers have a long lifespan.

I can’t believe it, but it’s true! If you see it on sale, give it a try—you’ll definitely like it!

Cambié de la Rasanter R47 a la Xiom Vega Tour buscando algo menos de velocidad y más control.

Ha sido un acierto, ya que mi juego es ahora más consistente y cometo muchos menos fallos. Con esta goma, harás que el contrario se enloquezca y pierda la concentración.

Es increíble poder jugar a cualquier distancia con tanta seguridad, incluso defendiendo bolas imposibles. Además, ofrece suficiente efecto para ganar montones de puntos con el saque.

Si crees que tu juego está estancado, te recomiendo probarla.

Overall, the rubber is very nice to play with. I use the red version with max thickness. However, the durability of the rubber is poor. After every match, I notice that a small piece of the topsheet at the side of the blade tears.
