Where to buy Omega VII pro?

[NextLevel]

The topsheet grip is pretty dubious. I am really curious what their tour and Asia versions will play like.

Excuse me, what do you mean by dubious?

Does anyone have this rubber yet

Can they take a photo or a short video of it in action please

I personally don't use it yet (I've changed too many rubbers lately)
But here is some photos from one of my Xiom sponsored players setup:

I did a brief bounce/spin test when I was done assembling it
its really spinny compared to the Omega 5

IT seems so fast that I am unable to perform any slow and spinny loops. The topsheet grip is there but it doesn't hold the ball in a way I feel confident attacking and giving the ball high spin but slow speed.

May be its a metter of time to get more familiar with it. This rubber should have a lot of gears, and considering its softer top, combined with DF it should perform slower spinny loops.

IT's the same problems that yogi had which is why he didn't feel comfortable with it on his forehand. I just don't feel comfortable at all with it since I brush loop on both sides. But I Will keep trying stuff and keep reporting. When you do try it, please share your views.

Thanks for the initial review, NL. How is this rubber in comparison to MX-P & Aurus Prime in terms of dwell and relative softness?

I put it on an Aruna blade and it seemed to play much better.

It is honestly feels like a special sponge very different from Aurus Prime or MX-P. The dwell still has me confused give me some more time to play with it. It is easily the fastest rubber I have ever played with and it has immense spin but the speed can overwhelm the arc very easily and it is trying to do things like attack easy balls or loop backspin coming from MX-S that I am struggling with. But I think I will be playing with it on the Aruna for the next week to month and will report back. I have found the Aruna unplayably slow in the past so this gives you an idea of where the control level may be. The alternate theory is that Hinoki has ruined my stroke so badly I can't feel the rubber with anything else.

Ok, if you're good with 5 months tenergy, I'm pretty shure you'll be happy with Xiom for 7 months or more.

A player can get acceptable performance from Tenergy for 5 months if the player plays only an hour a day 3x a week.

Anyone playing daily for 3+ hours, Tenergy will barely make it a month, and at that point, it is seriously dragging azz and falling apart worse than Hillary's email server.

I think players like me or nextlevel have to adjust with the omega vii pro because we are used to medium hard rubbers that are good for thin contact brush.

 

[NextLevel]

I really really like it now. I posted my coaching/training session yesterday. It really is like a Tenergy 64 but with roughly the same spin maybe better (I haven't used T64 in a while). But it is so fast I had to go to a deadish blade to control it. Now I can let the rubber do a lot of work and shorten my strokes and get quality. This is probably the right way for me to play as long as I can control the blade in short game etc. It isn't MX-S spin but I think it is sufficient. In any case I am not changing my set up description but I like this enough to play with it as my main blade without serious discussion. Eagerly awaiting what XIOM will do with this technology next maybe a T05 version will be better. And who knows this might really be a faster T80 as I have never really understood T64 but I have liked Genius and T80.

NL, what's the weight of the VII Pro for you, vs 1.9mm MX-S?

NL, what's the weight of the VII Pro for you, vs 1.9mm MX-S?

Not sure. Definitely lighter. By how much not sure. I am using 2.0 on one side so that skews things.

 

[Tony's Table Tennis]

what I find something funny is, it is "thicker sponge" but they still brand it Max, 2.0mm etc
I didn't ask how that works

I would have to disagree.

Do the omega VII actually have thicker sponge? Or are they instead using the thin topsheet to shave weight?

 

[NextLevel]

I don't even know if Omega VII has/uses the new technology for ESN rubbers. I know it uses a new technology of its own (the whole cycloid thing), and maybe because I don't use rubbers that feel softer, I am not as knowledgeable about softer, faster rubbers, but I didn't get the impression that this was like something I have used before. I think Xiom truly believe they have something special on their hands and I think they do, but I would like to not just hear it from me.

TT89player wrote in his blog on http://www.tt-spin.de/xiom-omega-vii-pro/ that he's glad to have found a rubber that doesn't use the ultramax sponges.
Think i will have to try it too.

I have tested Rasanter R47, Aurus Prime, Aurus Select and Bluestorm - and those all felt relatively similar to me. This did not. I literally felt the springs in those cycloid diagrams.
