The name is wrong. It is called "Xiom Vega Pro H" and even though it is saying "china hybrid" on the packaging it is NOT really remotely playing like a tacky chinese rubber with a tensor sponge.
It is a more controlled/slow Vega Pro with slight tackiness. That is all about it. It is worlds apart in terms of tackiness from other tacky hybrids like Rakza Z. It is more tacky than your K3, but that does not really say much. That is probably why they call it micro sticky.
It lacks top speed (even compared to the regular Vega Pro). Even Xiom estimates the speed of this rubber to be slightly above the Vega Intro which is really a controlles beginners rubber.
Spin is ok to good, but i would only recommend this to people that probably play with their dream blade that is actually too fast for them and they need something to tame down the speed of the overall bat.

It is going to be a little slower than Vega Pro but there should be a noticeable increase in spin. Vega Pro is really starting to get older and the partially tacky topsheet and newer materials used in this new version are going to result in better spin but by no means should anyone be comparing the Vega H rubbers to something like a new sheet of K3 of D09C.
As I mentioned in the other thread about this rubber, the upcoming Omega 8 Hybrid and Omega 8 China are going to be the actual powerful, top end rubbers of this type. These new Vega H rubbers are part of the Vega series for a reason. They are exactly what they are meant to be.

I just came back from a session with Stiga Hybrid H. I think it might be actually similar or the same as Vega H.
It's just quite slow, with a c-touch topsheet. The sponge is unremarkable and doesn't rebound much.
I will try boosting it a bit tonight, hopefully I can bring the rubber to life.

The last quarter of 2024 for The Omega 8 rubbers.
Vega Europe H and Vega Asia H are expected this June.

It's not the same. Vega Pro H is 47.5 degrees and Stiga Hybrid H is 50 degrees. Stiga Hybrid M is 47.5.
Even still, I doubt they are using the same materials even if they share some similarities.

oh yeah. But I actually tested Hybrid M and H. Both are kinda slow.

Just no.
Hybrid M can be faster than Vega Pro H and Hybrid H is definitely faster. What is good with the Hybrid H is, that it is very controlled in the short game and you don't accidently activate the catapult of the sponge if you don't want to. Hybrid M has less spin then the vega Pro h

in my own opinion : I tried this rubber for the first time and honestly I like it vey much. I like how it compliments with my donic defplay senso blade it has best control, spin and good also in blocks I can also loop easily with this rubber though I can feel the weight of the rubber because it slightly heavier but if you learn the weight transfer technique then this rubber is great , I have been using fast arc G1, 729 battle pro max, 729 dragon, 729 green cross, and DHS hurricane neo 3 (commercial) but in my own perspective I like this rubber the most cause its not too tacky as my hurricane neo 3 (commercial) and also not too bouncy as my Nittaku Fast Arc G1. I am really surprised how it greatly performs when I twiddle and use it on my backhand since I am a long pimps user.

I have bought it - but didnt try out for now - as for review that i saw on youtube is really close to the G09c in terms of speed/tack/feeling

I have Asia and Pro H.
I feel both are good but not tacky at all, just very grippy.
It does kinda feel like a hybrid rubber, just without any tack. I feel Asia is similar to G09c, but Asia has a longer throw.

I just recently assembled a new racket (yinhe pro 01) with Stiga DNA Hybrid H on forehand and Vega Pro H on backhand.
After playing it the other day, I think the Vega Pro H is a pretty nice rubber. It's rather unresponsive on passive shots, so I can see why it gives the impression of being slow. On hard impact it's about as fast as any 47.5 degree rubber. It's barely tacky (basically the same as all the new ESN hybrids) but very grippy and has very good spin/arc, and gives that nice clear/snappy feedback that I associate with the newer generations of ESN hybrids. Overall it's a very stable and playable rubber that's best suited for active/aggressive play as close to mid distance.
The DNA Hybrid H has similar characteristics overall, but it's a bit bouncier on passive shots and a good bit faster on active shots, which I'd expect given the harder sponge. It made me think of an improved/updated Rakza Z -- less tacky but similar performance, with a clearer/snappier feeling on high-impact shots, lighter weight, and possibly a bit faster. It felt softer than I'd expected, so maybe I just happened to get a sheet that was a little on the softer side.

Hello, can anyone comment on the durability? I've had the rubber since the beginning of June and feel that it now plays significantly differently. About me: I play 9 hours a week. Have you had to change the rubber yet?

Yes, but I must say that sometimes it's just joyful playing with friends. Out of those 90 hours, many are spent playing doubles. Nevertheless, I would estimate that 50 hours of straight training are in those sessions.

K3 is about 6 hours to 40 hours (1 day to 7 day)
most rubbers are about 80~120 hours (normal, so non hybrid)
I don't have the info on Vega Pro H, but above info for your consideration.

It sounds like the perfect solution for me to put on a TMXi blade, because I reckon it's a little bit too fast for me at my current level.
