For Omega V Europe in Rubbers
Pros
  • Fast
  • Spin is insane
  • Half distance
Cons
  • Price
This rubber is the best forehand rubber for me. I played Acuda S2 and Tenergy 05 before I tried the Xiom Omega V Europe rubber ( max ).
The rubber has a medium sponge and a medium arc.

Serving: The rubber looks like anti spin rubber but it has so much spin. It is insane. My service is one of my strengths but with this rubber my short service is so good. I have not recognized it at the beginning but after a few Training- and Tournament-games my enemies made so many mistakes and couldn't return my serve.

Blocking: No problem with that but i like to counter topspin if it is possible.

Chop: FH rubber = only topspin, flip or take the return short :)

Short short: was a bit difficult at the beginning but i am totally statisfied now. Problem was the lower arc compared to Acuda S2 and Tenergy 05. Now flicks are easy 4 me.

Tospin: Spin is very good. Easy to lift underspin. The medium sponge can do everything. A soft Topspin with a lot spin and a hard topspin. No Problems here. The ball is hard to block for ur opponent because with this rubber u have always a descent length.

Topspin Topspin: The rubber shines here. I have a good technique i think and i won a lot of rallies in the past with Tenergy or Acuda but now... It feels so good. The catapult comes into play when u hit the ball harder. The medium arc makes it so easy :)

Durability: Changed it after 4 months but the rubber wasn't dead or something. It lost a bit spin and speed but i think it happens to every rubber. I would say the durability is a bit better than Acuda S2 and similar to the Tenergy 05.


Conclusion:
It is a very good rubber for attacking-minded players. It has a medium sponge and it is more forgiving than other rubbers but it isn't worse. The speed is really high und the Arc is medium too.
U should really try it. It looks so beautiful :). Swam strength is max. and my blade is Stiga Infinity VPS.

Just ask if u have any questions. I must apologize for my bad english

For Infinity VPS V in Blades
Pros
  • Control
  • short game
  • not expensive
Cons
  • quality issues
  • very thin outer veneer (be careful)
Tested Stiga Infinity VPS with Xiom Omega V Europe (max) on FH side and Donic Acuda S2 (2.0) on BH side!!

Serving: It was really easy and i had no problems with serving. Low throw of the Blade and the awesome Xiom rubber is a good combination for serving.

Short short: Also was really super easy. Although it is an off blade, you never had the feeling of losing control.

Flipping: It is really easy with BH if u play a spinny flip. Harder Flips are more difficult and i need to find the right technique but it is still good.

Counter + Smash: Super Easy with this blade. So much feeling. It is so much fun to play with it.

Blocking: Is really great. Active blocks here are the strength of the blade. Super easy and safe. Passive blocks are a little bit harder and u have to be careful.

Topspin: What can I say? It is so easy... (but u need a good technipue). When u have fast legs and when u hit the ball correct there is so much spin and speed. It is awesome. :)

Counter-Topspin: It is a little bit difficult to explain. If u hit the Ball early it leaves your blade super fast and the counter-Topspin has so much speed and spin. It is really hard to believe that those shots are so easy (no effort need).
I have problems when I hit the Ball too late (descending phase) it is really hard to control. But that is no problem 4 me coz i will learn to deal with it :rolleyes:


Conclusion: I like it so incredibly much, because it 's just so much fun to play with. I do not know if I 'm better than my old material remains to be seen , because it plays quite differently.
However, I can tell you in advance that I have to be more careful with this stuff to make me well so I can generate more speed / spin. Do not get me wrong. The wood is very forgiving , but it can be fully exploited only if you have the proper technique and good standing on the balls. ( Similar to the Viscaria or Spirit ) .
Have often read that it is missing from the half distance to Power. I can not confirm . At least not with the rubbers . That's the curious thing... The harder you hit the ball or the more you make , the more power the blade generates. You have to try. Difficult to describe .

VERY IMPORTANT:
Seal this Blade. It has a very very thin top veneer and u have to seal it. Otherwise u will destroy the veneer when u change ur rubbers.

My tip: 2 layers TSP Racket coat (Edges too). Make the first layer after 12 hours drying with sandpaper smooth (600 grain size). Go 4 a second layer after u cleaned it from dust. Have always done so and never had any problems with surface residues or damaged veneer .

BIG BIG SORRY 4 MY ENGLISH!!! I DID MY BEST :cool:
