Upgrade from Xiom Vega Europe?

[TTPlayer01]

What would be a good rubber to upgrade to after using Xiom Vega Europe? After using Xiom Vega Europe my backhand developed a lot and I became much more agressive with it. I like to flick and wanted a new rubber but have no idea what to upgrade to next. Are there any good rubbers to upgrade to?

Glayzer, especially because of the flick you like. Glayzer has amazing grip and still pretty light.

Tenergy 19. Has the same feeling, control, a little more speed and a lot more spin.
Glayzer would be a lot harder compared to xiom vega europe, if you enjoy hard rubbers on your backhand then it's a good option, it can't produce as much spin as t19 though

if you want to stick with xiom perhaps the omega 7 europe, its 42.5 degrees which is the same as vega europe but a fair bit quicker/bouncy but maintains the high throw. very light aswell

How would dignics 05 work in comparison to glayzer?

Glayzer is essentially a 'safety first' version of D05. Vs Vega Europe I think you will get along with Glayzer better, IMO it is very safe and easy to use, I would only choose D05 if you want to prioritize getting top performance in attacking shot quality.

I wager D05 would be pretty hectic coming from Vega Europe. With D05 you would feel it's hard, it has no speed, no spin, can't get enough sponge compression to make it work. Can't make the topsheet stretch enough. Of course over time you would adjust if you are patient. One thing you would feel over Vega Europe is that D05 has better grip somehow.

Glayzer will also feel a bit hard a bit slow, a bit difficult to stretch the topsheet and compress the sponge but it's easier to master while it has the same grip as D05. (and cheaper by a lot)
I think D05 might not be worth the extra money, and even with Glayzer I sometimes wish it was a bit slower so D05 is not the direction I'm looking in. (actually I used to use D64 and that is super hectic)

I think Glayzer might be even be a sane economical choice over Vega Europe as it last longer and it's not that much more expensive.

I upgraded from Vega Europe to C1. Plays similar but a bit more speed and spin.

I think for bang for the buck, just upgrade to Xiom Vega Asia or Xiom Vega Japan. I have both rubbers. Topsheet of Japan is slightly softer than Asia. Japan is a bit more expensive. Both are very good .It is up to you.

If you want to go to C-1, I agree as well. I have played with C-1, Xiom Vega Asia and Xiom Vega Japan. My backhand has no problem going back and forth between those three rubbers (I keep my blade constant with every set-up.).

Vega Europe is crazy soft, You could do Razka 7, thats a nice all rounder that works well for many people and won't financially break you like Dignics.
