Vega Asia from XIOM: A faster and more balanced version in the Vega series. New "Hyper Elasto" top layer of natural rubber provides superb spin. The unique "Carbo Sponge", which was developed using the most advanced technology, provides the most unprecedented energy efficiency. The pimples on Vega Asia have a special structure using a new concept that creates more trampoline effect and extraordinary dwelling feeling at impact. Compared with Vega Pro, the Asia version is softer with more speed and balance. It also a bigger safe zone (window) above the net, which makes every topspin attack more secure and aggressive. Its great balance between speed, spin, and control will make the players' performance purely dynamic and exciting.

Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary

Highly rated as a versatile tension rubber for beginners to intermediate players, praised for balanced performance and affordable price. However, poor durability of the rubber surface and insufficient bounce for power-focused players are noted as challenges.

■ Frequently Mentioned Points

Beginner-friendly with easy technique execution and high versatility
Well-balanced performance with excellent cost-effectiveness
Ideal for learning cutting techniques and popular with cutmen
Rubber easily chips and surface scratches easily
Power-oriented players may find the bounce insufficient

■ Representative Voices

▲ PositiveBecause it doesn't have pointed performance, its operability is excellent. The ease of use makes beginners feel confident in matches while keeping costs low.

▽ CriticalThe rubber is very prone to chipping and the sheet surface is fragile. Its durability is short, requiring frequent re-coating.

Chaisson Receiving got stable!!

I started using this rubber on my backhand, and receiving, which used to be something I struggled with, actually turned into a weapon for me.

In a tournament I played against someone better than me, and I was able to return all of their serves with over-the-table drives and chiquitas.

This rubber has great control, so just blocking a strong shot close to the table sends back a strong ball, so I'd recommend it to anyone who wants a stable block or who likes to build their game around blocking.

The sponge isn't all that hard.
Smashes come out quite fast. The control isn't bad either.
Drives get decent spin too, though it falls short of Vega Pro.
Serves are easy whether long or short. Speed serves are good too. Here as well, it falls a bit short of the Pro version in terms of spin.
I'd recommend it for the forehand, but if you're a hard hitter, I think it would work on both sides too.

Rudiger (Experience: ６〜１０ years)

I think it's a rubber with a good balance of speed and spin.
The sponge and sheet hardness are just right, so even when you back off the table, you don't lose distance.
The sheet's grip on the ball loses out to the Pro version, but I found it an easy rubber to handle.

Well, it feels decent. It gives you speed, but... a bit......
The spin is a little lacking......
Compared to Tenergy,
the speed is so-so and the spin is okay......
The control feels good though...!

Yakinori A chopper's perspective

The sheet is soft and the sponge has a strong sense of grabbing the ball, so it holds the ball well and the feel is soft.

Because of that good ball-holding, drives land in the court reliably even when you're playing off the table, and the trajectory is easy to read.
Close-to-the-table drives lift the ball even off an early contact point, so it's easy to convert into points. Being easy to place is another good point!

For chopping, even though there's a strong grabbing sensation, an almost vertical swing keeps the chop from floating up, and you can also chop it low. Being able to chop knuckle balls on your own is nice too! No complaints when it comes to chopping!

The short game is a bit hard to put spin into, and pushes tend to float a little, so you need to be careful there.

The serve doesn't generate huge spin, but it's easy to add spin to, so if you're a player who can serve low and short, it should be fine.

For a chopper trying tension rubber for the first time, I'd really like you to try this one! It has everything a chopper needs!
The short game bounces a bit too much, and power falls short when trading blows off the table, but overall there aren't that many rubbers this high-spec, so let's overlook that and work on our skills.
