How is Xiom rubbers and blades? Xiom rubber = Tenergy?

[FrenchFrog33]

How is Xiom equipment? Can you compare Xiom rubbers with popular rubbers?

Thanks!

Would it be fair to say Vega is Xiom's tenergy and Omega is their Dignics?

Not sure what the purpose of J&H is though

Not really, vega is vega, its a more budget oriented product, the one that has a close feeling to t05 for example is omega 7 asia(btw even if it says asia, it aint tacky at all).

Now that is as a backhand rubber, no idea how it feels for forehand, and my opinion should be taken with a pretty big table spoon of salt, since my level is low.

Vega is more like Xioms Rozena. Budget minded performance. I think the Omega VII series were meant to be more dyanmic and the JH series were meant to be more stable

Vega is one of the top selling in Japan.
Its 10 years old, and was out to take on the likes of Tenergy and being in a very affordable price point.

If any, Rozena came out to compete with Vega (and co), not the other way round.

Xiom rubbers are pretty decent.
Blades are mostly made in Korea too (if you been following, the Korea made blades are really high quality)

I dont know why you would go out of your way to make a less dynamic rubber.

So Vega is like a B, Omega is an A, and J&H is A- ?

Theres a lot of different rubbers in each respective series as well, I think it's not so accurate to try and pigeonhole each series like that, but for a wide generalization it would seem as though the Omega VII series would be placed at an overall higher sheer performance tier than JH, which would be above Vega etc. They all just serve different needs though, for example Vega Tour is very different from Vega Japan, and the Omega V Asia is very different from the V Pro.

To address your first point though, I think it's just as logical to provide customers with rubbers that are steadier and less dynamic as well as rubbers that are bouncier and more automatic.
