I just a ordered the TMXi non pro-version (My dream blade) , currently i'm using xiom 36.5 ALXi with Rakza Z forehand and Vega Europe Backhand, i really enjoy this setup, it's a spin machine.
But since i'm EJ, i really wanted to try the TMXi, and for forehand i'll use the Rakza Z since i like the rubber and can't see any reason to use anything else, but for BH i have an issue with the vega europe, it's too soft, it seems that i don't have great feedback when i try to put some strenght in the BH, but it has awesome control and it is consistent. Wish i could try something like it but with more hardness i guess.
I'm thinking about the vega korea, the omega 7 pro and the J&H V 47.5. Wich one should i get?

TMXi has a large head size, and RZ is kind of heavy. I'd warn of getting a rubber that is on the heavier side least the setup turn out too head heavy. You should also seal the blade because both my TMXi have splintered a bit.

I've never used Vega Korea but I can say that Vega Asia and Vega Pro is a very nice backhand rubbers, it has a similar feeling to Vega Euro but they are harder and faster. Another rubber I really like is the Nittaku Factive, though it is slower then Vega Pro and Vega Asia I think it is a nice step up in hardness from Vega Euro while keeping the easy-going feeling of the rubber, Vega Asia and Vega Pro are more eager and more reactive.

Go for something cheap ( Chinese made is normally cheap ) and non tacky…

I'll just use one heavy rubber, even the non-pro version is that heavier?
If looking for control then Korea is the way to go, it has good control and is harder than Europe. Onega 7 pro also has a somewhat decent control and is a lot faster. J&H is a speed monster and is more suitable for advanced players
I don't know if i should get the vega korea blue or magenta :(

Even the non-pro version has a headsize of 158x152

I know, but it should add only like 5g at all considering my setup now.
5g is still a lot especially if it's not evenly distributed, I just want you to be aware.

like Jan said, Rakza 7 should work very nicely. I do find Xiom Vega Asia DF to work extremely well with this blade, it is really nice. had some problems with backhand control and with this rubber I kind of got it back a bit ... am actually thinking of risking and getting another one for forehand ...
