Like my review with the andro plastic ball, the old versions of plastic balls from Butterfly were not good, slow and broke easy. The newer versions of plastic balls are better quality. I think the manufacturers were forced to make better balls. The new generation of Butterfly balls is good quality.

The problem is the new generation of plastic balls broke and were totally rubbish. The newer balls are much better quality. I still find even the new generation of plastic balls from andro or Butterfly are all slightly different and not completely identical.

The Xiom Vega pro is a little bit harder than my backhand rubber which is the Joola max 450. So it is perfect to attack with topspin and smash. Xiom Vega Pro is for aggressive players. For many players Xiom Vega Pro is an option for players who like Tenergy. But it is a little bit slower and doesn't have so much catapt effect. Xiom Vega Europe is a good rubber in this price area, but others are better, but in most cases they are more expensive.

The rubber Joola max is a good rubber for offensively play, who do not want to loose the control in passive play. With this rubber you have good handling directly at the table and good feeling to play topspin to topspin rallies. To sum up, the Joola Maxxx is a good allround-rubber for offensive players.
