1. Strong grip and high spin performance! 2. You can get strong spin while still being easy to meet the ball with! 3. Less slippery than Vega X!
As you'd expect from the Omega 5 series, known for its arc and grip, the strong grip and spin left a good impression. That said, since it's a bit older — even with DF — I think the spin strength is a little weaker compared to recent high-end rubbers and the newer XIOM rubbers. In terms of how easy it is to generate spin, I felt Vega X actually has higher spin performance. However, since Vega X has a softer sponge, it's more slippery, so overall this one, while more of a manual-feel rubber, felt like something I could trust. Also, since it gets good spin while still being easy to meet the ball with, and doesn't have too muddy a feel, I think it suits the backhand better than the Omega 7 series. Both the sheet and sponge are hard, so the ability to counter-drive or hold up in topspin rallies without getting overwhelmed by the opponent's spin should be plenty on the forehand too.
Compared to Dignics 05, the arc is lower, the ball sinks less, and the power felt slightly weaker too, but considering you can get it for around 3,000 yen, it feels like great value for money.
I've also reviewed it on my blog, so please check that out too.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard

corner home run (Experience: ６〜１０ years) Strong grip and high arc, but a bit tricky if you can't swing through

Currently using this on my forehand.
The first thing that stands out is the high arc — if you swing properly with about 70-80% spin, the ball lands in the table pretty reliably.On the flip side, since it's hard and doesn't grip the ball much, meeting-type shots are difficult, and if your drives lean toward more of a glancing contact, the ball won't sink in enough unless your impact is strong, so it tends to fly straight and miss. Because of that, I think this rubber needs an advanced player or better to bring out its full performance, especially on the backhand.
On the forehand, though, even an intermediate player like me who relies a lot on spin-oriented drives can hit consistently thanks to the high arc, so while one-shot kill drives are hard, it felt easy to play a grinding style that wins points through consistency.
Overall, I'd say this is a rubber for intermediate players who use a lot of spin-oriented strokes on the forehand, or for advanced players who hit with strong impact.

It's easy to lift backspin balls with this one.
Even hitting from a really low position, it lifts the ball up nicely. The spin doesn't quite match Dignics or tacky rubbers, but it still generates plenty.
Chiquitas and banana flicks over the table are easy too. If you hit with a thick contact, you get really nice shots.
Pushes and short stops didn't tend to float up either.
Counters should be easy too since the sheet is strong.
That said, for better or worse this rubber produces a lot of arc,
so I'd recommend it more for rally-based players than for those who go for one-shot kills.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

The grip is an absolute monster! It never drops off. This gives you huge confidence when attacking.
On serves, the high grip really shows, so you get great spin. You've got to try this at least once!All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

I've used the Fastarc series and the V15 series before, and out of all of them this was the easiest to rally with. The performance is perfect for topspin rallies and blocking. It has more power than Fastarc C1, and it's easier to rally with than V15 Extra. This is the kind of rubber where if you're not sure what to get, just go with this one — definitely give it a try!

It was advertised as a "hardcore rubber" and "for top-level players," and the salesperson recommended it too, so I bought it, but that wasn't really the case.
I got suckered in by the marketing and bought the 2.0 thickness, but honestly it was softer than I expected. I should have just gotten MAX. I'm using it on my forehand, but for one thing, it's hard to get topspin drives deep into the court. Also, it doesn't generate much speed. It was hard to finish points off my forehand. Loop drives had decent spin, but they'd float a little. Speed drives came out with a pretty flat trajectory. That did make for a trajectory that's hard to chop, though.
To sum it up, it's kind of a case of the packaging overselling it. It's not for top-level players — it's really for solid intermediate players. Once you accept that, the performance is good for an intermediate-level rubber, but it's definitely not for top-level players. Maybe it's meant as a stepping stone up to the Omega 7.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

When it first came out I was using the Omega 5 Asia, but a friend let me try this one and the feel was right up my alley. After switching over from tacky rubber I'd been using the harder Asia version, but something about it just felt off.
The ease of control for the short game, the grip that holds up against spin, and how easy it is to hit once the ball sinks into the sponge all make it really fun to play with.
I also tried the Omega VII series, but it felt a bit softer, and I preferred this one.Whether playing close to the table or stepping back for topspin rallies, I felt like I could hit more than enough.
