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.

Topspin drive: ☆☆☆☆
Push: ☆☆☆
Serve: ☆☆☆☆
Flick: ☆☆☆☆I put this on my backhand. It's not a hard rubber, more on the soft side, but it grips the ball well and produces shots that match your impact. It also has quite a bit of grip on the ball, so you need to set the racket angle properly. Overall it's easy to use a wide variety of techniques with it. It's easy to use, and I got used to it in just 2-3 days, so I'd recommend it to beginners too. That said, intermediate-to-advanced players might feel the sheet is a bit lacking, so I'd recommend it for the backhand.

The power on smashes and topspin drives is amazing. It's cheaper than other rubbers and great value for money. It generates plenty of spin and the control is excellent, so I recommend it. If you're torn between a few options, give this one a try!
This is the best rubber I've ever used.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard

2.0mm, used on forehand. Comparison with Factive.
Speed
Factive: 6, Vega Asia: 8
Vega Asia works fine even if you drop back to mid-distance! Actually it flies quite a bit, so mid-distance might be just right ^^; I think it can go in easily even from away from the table depending on how you hit it!
Spin
Factive: 6, Vega Asia: 6
This one's just about average — it's neither insanely sharp nor lacking in spin, easy to use.
Control
Factive: 7, Vega Asia: 5
This one feels like it gets sacrificed for the speed.
But if you adjust your form and positioning, it's not something to worry about too much.
Summary
I'd recommend Vega Asia as maybe your third rubber if you're after speed and power on the forehand.
I think this rubber would feel a bit tough as your first or second rubber — for your first rubber, go with a high-bounce or beginner tension rubber, for your second a beginner tension rubber, and for your third, either stick with a beginner tension rubber or pick one that has the performance you're looking for.
If you want speed, Vega Asia — that's about the gist of it.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Control is good, and it bounces a fair amount too.
After using it for three months, blocks are easy to stop and it's easy to place the ball where you want, so I think it can keep working for you even as your level goes up.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

I used this when I was in my second year of middle school. It's hard, has good speed, and is easy to put spin on. Control is decent too. That said, I was bothered by how easily the rubber chips.

It grips the ball quite well, so even if your form breaks down when hitting, it still grips solidly and gets the ball in.
Both spin and control are good. Speed and distance are a bit lacking, but it does the minimum to get the ball in.
Serves get a decent amount of spin.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

This is my comment after using the black 2.0mm on my forehand for over six months. Overall it's well balanced and a rubber I'd recommend to a wide range of players.
It's marketed as a speed-type rubber, but it gets a surprising amount of spin too. Honestly this could just be called a spin-type rubber lol (don't hit me)
...but seriously. Brushed drives get a lot of spin on them. As long as loops go in shallow, skimming the net, you won't get countered unless your opponent is way above your level!
Speed drives are also flawless. Depending on the blade you're using it might feel a touch slow, but if you pull it off well, you can punch right through.
The short game is flawless too. Pushes never floated up on me. Stops stick like crazy. Flicks felt like they lean toward stability, I thought (though that might just be my own lack of skill).
There's one thing that bothered me while using this rubber. Like other people have written, it chips very easily. I've heard that in some tournaments, if your rubber has a chip in it, you're disqualified...Sorry for the long post. I'd recommend this to anyone who's unsure which rubber to pick.
