Hello there! I've been trying out the xiom vega x rubber on both sides some sessions now. It feels pretty good, but it's very heavy. When I changed to vega x my racket become 20 grams heavier. It feels good away from the table but when I'm closer I'm not that fast because of the weight. So I think that maybe the vega x isn't for me.

Now I'm thinking about dna m maybe. Same hardness but lighter? I've played with it before but with a different blade and then it felt pretty good. So I'm asking how the dna is compared to the vega x. And maybe if there is a similar rubber to the vega x but lighter.

My racket weight with the vega x is 206 grams, and before, with different rubbers, it was 183 grams, and already then it felt heavy. So it could be that it just head heavy too.

Significantly lighter -but still heavy- is Vega Pro and quite similar to Vega X.

Here is a database that you can use, to check the weights of rubbers.

https://tabletennis-reviews.com/reference/rubber-sheet-mass-size-database/

According to that, DNA M that you mention, is about 71gr, almost the same to Vega x which weights 72-74gr uncut.
