Pros
  • good feeling
  • sweet spot
  • gears of power
1. Speed.
Is fast, but not ridiculously fast.
Has good range of gear for both short play and powerful topspins.

2. Control.
Large sweetspot, much more forgiveness than most blades I've tried to play with.

3. Hardness.
In my opinion, is not very hard, and not very stiff.
Provides very good feeling, and very good for blocking. After changing from previous blade, had a feeling that you just need to put a blade in a way of ball, and blade will do the rest :)
For topspins, dwell time is enough for making spinny shots with enough power.

In my opinion, it is best of blades I've played with, and probably best for it's price.
I cannot really feel a difference with super-costly super-zlc blades, but difference from cheaper blades is obvious - blade is very good!

I am user of Xiom Vega Pro 2.0 on both sides of my racket.
I am pretty satisfied with rubber, it is more than enough for my play level.

1. Speed.
Freshly unpacked, rubber has pretty good speed.
After few months of playing, speed noticeably decreased (I think effect of "factory busting" ended).
Still, rubber has enough power and is playable. For me it was for better - you can work on your technique, and rubber doesn't allow you to get a powerful topspin without your own good performance.

2. Spin.
For 2.0mm, spin is adequate. With MAX sponge thickness, there should be more spin.
Comparing to other rubbers i've played with, sponge is quiet hard, and you must put more efforts to get good spin, especially on serves.

3. Control.
Rubber is controllable, especially after few months of playing. Again, I use 2.0mm version, with MAX control is lower, and will require better technique.

4. Durability.
Rubber tends to crumble if you've catched an edge of table. But not as much as some stiga rubbers.
Rubber is losing "factory busting" effect in few months.
But rubber has grip, spin and power to played for a very long time.

In my opinion, rubber is good for learning technique.
Rubber is good for it's price.
But it is not tenergy :(
