      Reviews by user

      This is a great rubber in every way. It puts on spin, it gives speed, it's easy to use, and it just bites into the ball no matter what... I have no complaints at all. It's the best rubber.

      Reviews by user

      I used this on my forehand. The previous model, Vega Asia, was a bit hard and had some parts that were tricky to handle, but this one keeps the spin and speed of the previous model while feeling easier to keep on the table. A stroke that grips the ball with the sheet worked best for me. It's stable and produces good shots.

      Table tennis enthusiast (Experience: More than 20 years) A rubber that's too strong

      Reviews by user

      This rubber is known as "a watered-down Tenergy," but that's not true at all. Think about it carefully. However strong Tenergy is, no matter how skilled someone is, they can never fully bring out Tenergy's strength (fully realize its potential). With Vega, though, anyone from beginner to advanced player can bring out plenty of strength from it.
      Vega isn't inferior at all — its speed matches Tenergy 64, and its spin matches Tenergy 05. If you're going to use one, Vega is actually the stronger choice, since it's easier to control and lets you bring out the rubber's strength to the fullest.
      Vega is the stronger one, really. In fact, I've seen quite a few people develop bad habits or hit a wall in their progress because of this. Tenergy is also a great rubber that's very strong, but Vega is a really good rubber too ( ・∀・)ノ
      When you buy one, think carefully about your own skill level and which techniques you're good at, then choose wisely and get stronger!
      Vega is very easy to use on the forehand. I'd also recommend it for hardcore attacking players like drive specialists, or people who rack up points by watching for an opening and going for one big smash! ( ・∀・)ノ

      hibiki!✴ (Experience: 11〜20 years) Cheap and crazy strong!?

      Reviews by user

      This is the strongest rubber in the Vega series.
      The speed is on par with the Zeta or Tenergy 64.
      Depending on how you use it, the spin might even exceed the Tenergy 05.
      Control is also solid — the ball goes right where you aim it. Serves and pushes really bite too!
      The lifespan is quite long as well, and it suits the forehand!
      Among rubbers in the same XIOM series, it's the best after the Zeta and Omega.
      The rubber is also reasonably soft and easy to control, so it's a great rubber that's easy to use for beginners and pro players alike.

      If you buy this expecting the feel of the plain Asia version, it's actually soft, so you should think of it as a different rubber. Blocking and countering are very easy, and since the sheet is the DF type, it's easy to put spin on and it's stable!

      VEGA for the first time (Experience: 2〜3 years) An all-purpose backhand rubber

      Reviews by user

      It's fine on the forehand too, but putting it on the backhand really brings out how good this rubber is. My backhand drives became really stable.
      The Europe version was too soft, and the Asia version was too hard for the backhand, so this one is just the right hardness! Decent spin and decent speed at this price! That's Vega for you. I'd recommend it for junior high schoolers' backhands. Also, I think it goes well with any blade. Please give it a try — it's impressive!

      Aieichi (Experience: 2〜3 years) Fake Tenergy

      Reviews by user

      As expected, it really does mimic Tenergy.
      As expected, first of all, it flies...
      It takes about three weeks to really get the hang of using it well (varies by person).
