    Very precise and consistent control.

    Extra playing properties by new carbo sponge and top layer
    Additional clicking feel for sharper control.

    Balanced towards full “speed-glue” feel. New top sheet matched with upgraded soft Carbo Sponge offers amazing spin performance and extra-ordinary feel properties. Feel at the ball contact fully assimilate the soft-but-solid clicking sensation generated by speed glues. OMEGA IV ELITE also makes a bigger window over the net with high spinning trajectory. Deeper and longer ball dragging at the surface of OMEGA IV ELITE promotes extra control at impact. Combination of extra spin capability, reliable precision, and amazing consistency benefit modern allround professionals.

    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    A control-oriented tension rubber ideal for beginners to intermediate players. Praised for its soft sheet and sponge that allow easy gripping and stable ball feel, though speed performance is limited and best suited for net-play techniques.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Excellent control performance with soft sheet
    • Stable spin ideal for learning fundamentals
    • Pleasant ball sound and good operability
    • Limited power for mid-court and back-court drives
    • Durability concerns with edge chipping issues
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveControl is outstanding and very user-friendly. The soft composition allows excellent ball control, and the good ball hold enables players to apply spin effectively with confident drives.
    ▽ CriticalIt chips easily, though I'm unsure if it's due to poor handling. Without this issue, it would be a perfect rubber.

      Shake attack (Experience: 6〜10 years) Just so easy to use

      Reviews by user

      I used to have it on my backhand, and every technique was really easy to do — I actually learned my backhand topspin drive around that time.
      Also, it gets a good amount of spin, so with pushes, just squaring up my racket face was enough to make the ball curve.

      I'd recommend it to people putting a tension rubber on their backhand for the first time, or to beginner/intermediate players.

      Sound master (Experience: 6〜10 years)

      Reviews by user

      I like the sound this rubber makes when you hit the ball. It spins normally, and since it's soft overall, the control is outstanding.

      Wow (Experience: 2〜3 years) A stable rubber

      Reviews by user

      The control is really excellent and it's easy to use — I first used it on my forehand, and it was easy enough to use that when I re-covered my rubbers I moved it to my backhand instead. I love using it, but for some reason — maybe I handle it roughly — it chips easily. If it weren't for that, I think it would be a perfect rubber.

      SIMA 1st KOUKI (Experience: Less than a year) Great control and light soft-tension, above all

      Reviews by user

      This is the rubber I put on my forehand when I first started playing table tennis, and I still often use it when I want to go back and redo my basics.
      First, both the sponge and topsheet are soft, so whatever you do the ball sinks in and you can control it well. Also, since it holds the ball well, you can generate spin yourself. So if you swing through properly, you can hit drives with real spin on them. The short game and serves are also easy. As for techniques that are harder to do, I'd say mid-distance topspin rallies, since it doesn't fly very far. But that's only when you brush the ball too much — hit it more squarely and there's no problem. Going with the thick version is also a good idea.
      Right now I have Ventus Spin on my backhand, but the topsheet feels too firm, so I'm thinking about switching to this rubber instead. I'd strongly recommend it to people starting table tennis, people who aren't confident in their power, people putting a tension rubber on their backhand for the first time, and people who want to redo their basics.

      Reviews by user

      A very easy-to-use rubber. It gave me the impression of being an upgraded version of Vega Elite.
      Close to the table, it's really easy to hit meaty shots that push your opponent around. You don't get thrown off by your opponent's spin! I think it would be good as a second tension rubber. It's not the kind of overwhelming performance you'd stick with forever, but it's a rubber that gives you the step you need to level up as a player. It might not be very suited to choppers, though.

      Nice ball (Experience: 2〜3 years) A versatile rubber

      Reviews by user

      I've got the 2.0 thickness on my Sanalion R. (I wanted a bit more bounce and weight.) The blade itself has a soft feel and is a control-oriented type, and even though the rubber is a tension-type, it doesn't fly too far and is also control-oriented, so the match is excellent. The topsheet is soft, so hitting with the ball sunk in works well too. It's easy to vary the power of your shots, and overall I've had fewer overshooting mistakes. In exchange for speed, spin is quite easy to get on the ball. It's the perfect rubber for someone who wants to win points steadily and reliably. Depending on preference, 1.8 might not be bad either.

      watanabe It works well

      Reviews by user

      I use it on my backhand side. It doesn't have the heaviness of Tenergy, but it gives a good amount of spin and speed, and it's very easy to use. It's also good for people who think Tenergy is too expensive for a backhand rubber, or for people just starting table tennis. I think it's easier to use than Omega Five. The control is outstanding too.
