For technical style pros keen on balanced aggression.
Deeper and longer ball dragging at the surface.
Extra power spins from high-density carbo sponge.
Newly integrated dynamics and perfect hardness for reliable control. Hyper Elasto technology rubber upgraded by new chemical composition and new Carbo Sponge. Solid ball-capturing at the surface and perfectly matching sponge hardness promote extra spins and control at ball contact. OMEGA IV EUROPE produces significantly higher ball trajectory to make bigger window over the net. OMEGA IV EUROPE stretches the ball from opponent's court aggressively as if launched from speed-glued rubber. Clicking sensation at the ball contact also reflects the maximized built-in tension simulating full speed-glue effect.

It's marketed as a rubber whose selling points are spin and stability, and that's exactly right. The speed isn't especially fast, but the spin and control more than make up for it. It's a high-performing rubber, and I'd recommend it to players somewhere between intermediate and advanced level!
Chops are stable and you can get spin on them, but what's really impressive is how easy it is to produce a knuckle (no-spin) chop. If I were a drive player, I'd hate facing that, lol.
You get balls with completely different amounts of spin off the same-sounding hit. Choppers, why not give it a try?All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I have this glued onto a 5-ply blade.
I normally use Vega Europe, but since the Omega series is supposed to be the higher-tier line, I gave it a try.The spin is about the same as Vega Europe, but Vega Europe and Vega Asia might actually be faster.
Also, when rallying, the ball I returned tended to land shallow, and when I used it on the backhand, if I just blocked it back it often turned into a pretty straight, spinless ball.Where Omega 4 Europe beats Vega Europe is how easy it is to block.
I think that's because the sheet is less sensitive and doesn't bounce much, which made blocking noticeably easier.
The trajectory comes back straighter than Vega, so you get fewer overshoots.This is a rubber I'd definitely recommend for beginners who win more by keeping the ball in play consistently.
The price is also cheap, just over 3,000 yen, not too different from Vega Europe.For intermediate players and above, Vega Europe still gives you deeper, better-quality returns, so if you're thinking of switching from Vega Europe at the same hardness, I think a different rubber would be a better choice.

Like everyone else says, it's a well-rounded rubber - decent speed, good spin, good control.
I used it on the backhand and it gives pretty stable play. It's usable on the forehand too, but if you're an offensive player you might feel it's a bit lacking in speed there, so I'd recommend it for the backhand.
My one personal knock, which applies to the Omega line in general, is that the rubber is a bit on the heavy side. If that doesn't bother you it's fine, but if you want to use a light blade you might need to think about the weight balance. Still, the performance is excellent so it's worth using.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I had it on the forehand side of a Chinese penhold blade.
I was looking for a rubber with good grip on the ball where it sinks into the sponge, so this worked well for me.
It grips the ball well and flies well.
That said, since it flies so well, if you hit it too softly the ball tends to come out flat with no spin.
I felt like you really need to brush the ball firmly and grab it every time.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Excellent rubber for topspin attacks (topspin against topspin, topspin against backspin). For blocking, chopping close to the table, it's not very sensitive to incoming spin — very good. Rubber [OK] in very good condition for one year, spin and speed, very durable afterward. I replaced the rubber on all my Limba wood off-blade 5-ply blades. This is better than STIGA OC carbon. Excellent feel, spin, more dwell time.

I have this rubber on my backhand and the balance is really good — I love it.
Topspin drives, blocks, and stops are all easy to do.
After agonizing over a lot of different backhand rubbers, this one turned out to be the best.All Speed Spin Control
