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.

Currently using this on my forehand.
It's a rubber on the harder side, but the topsheet isn't all that hard, so it's not rock hard.
Serves have good bite too, and the topspin drive is easy to do. Even a reflex block lands nicely on the table.
Recommended for players who mainly attack with the drive, and for aggressive choppers!All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I've got it on my backhand. Blocks and the like are stable, but I felt the amount of spin on the topspin drive and chiquita was lacking. I think it'd be a good rubber if it had a bit more grip on the ball.

It grips a decent amount of spin and generates speed.
It's not very affected by incoming spin, so receiving is easy.
Everything from topspin drive to flat hits to chops stays stable.
Also, the sponge is hard but the topsheet is soft, so it feels like it puts out a bit more power than the Europe version.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Spin Monster (Experience: １１〜２０ years) The best sound off the ball

The biggest point is the distinctive metallic sound it makes on contact, which feels great.
As for performance, it's on the harder side with high grip, and works on either the forehand or backhand side.
Both serves and receives have no odd quirks in response, but the topspin drive naturally draws a slightly high arc with a bit of a loop feel.
Personally, I'd recommend this for the backhand side of players moving from single-sided penhold to shakehand or double-sided penhold. (Single-sided penhold players use a hard rubber to cover the backhand too.)All Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard

This is the rubber I used when I picked table tennis back up after more than 20 years away. My impression using max thickness on the forehand: at first the topspin drive and backspin serves had good bite, so I thought it was more of a spin-type rubber, but the smash and speed drive land with a satisfying metallic sound. So I ended up thinking of it as a speed-type rubber. Over time it does start to slip off the blade a bit though...
I think it's a rubber suited to beginners moving past the beginner stage.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

The topsheet is soft, so it doesn't feel hard when you hit it, and (even for someone like me who's now an intermediate player) the ball sinks into the sheet nicely, making it easy to hit with.
Serves and pushes work fine with it too.
If anything it leans toward speed and is easy to control, so I thought it's a rubber I could recommend to people looking to go for counters, or to intermediate players (since it's inexpensive too).

This is my impression after borrowing it and trying it out for a bit.
Personally it didn't feel all that hard.
It has a certain hardness, but it doesn't feel hard — that was my first impression.If you hit it flat you get speed, and if you brush it you get spin easily — an all-round solid rubber, I'd say.
Compared to high-end rubbers I think the absolute spin level is lower, but on the flip side it's somewhat forgiving of incoming spin, so you don't have to be nervous about blocks or receives.
Maybe because it's a well-balanced rubber that lets you both grip the ball and brush it, it seems like a lot of people put it on the backhand of a shakehand.
It might not be enough for players with a lot of power or those looking for sharp forehand performance, but I think it's a solid all-rounder that works regardless of playing style.The feel has that somewhat thick, German-made character, so that might be a point where opinions differ.
