I have tried the Vega X for a few sessions now (only on FH, max thickness) and I really like it so far. Topsheet is very grippy so it picks up balls well. Has a good amount of spin plus it's quite easy to spin with, not like some of the much harder rubbers that need more of a tennis swing to get a decent amount spin out of it. Balls come down very nicely and don't overshoot as often when I topspin, it had a medium to low arc. Rubber is very linear and it's amazing in the short game, don't think I have tried a modern tensor that is as good as this for the short game. It doesn't have insane amounts of speed but on a powerful stroke it surely isn't slow either. My serves were very spinny and easy to keep short too. Great for blocking, lots of control yet this rubber does give me more confidence to block a bit more actively which is a big plus.
While it's not a high end rubber like Tenergy/Omega VII/MX-P the Vega X has qualities those rubbers do not have especially in terms of control. Speedwise it might fall a bit short but spinwise I think it's nearly up there with the previously mentioned rubbers. I think it's a great rubber to use if you're still developing but it's also a rubber that you could possibly stick with till a pretty high level. I wish I was a better player to confirm that theory though....
