I'm thinking about changing the rubbers from Xiom Vega intro to Xiom Vega Euro Hybrid & Asia Hybrid
I've been playing with tacky rubbers for a while and that's what I want to keep using.
I had Vega Intro on my back-up blade where I shaved a slice out of the rubber. So it needs to be replaced.

Is that a sound combination? Asia H on FH and Europe H on BH?

Are you using the Nittaku Violin?

I tried Vega Pro H for one session on a faster blade than yours. It was very slow on BH, and even with good acceleration, it was difficult to get decent speed + spin out of the rubber. However, it was very safe though for open ups, short game etc.

Depends on what you are looking for in your game

Hi, I would like to make the same change to my ALL+ wood.

VODAK Diolen Control All+

I currently have a Vega intro 2.0 on my BH, I have tried other Omega IV euro etc but it was too fast and bouncy against the vega.

So I'm thinking of trying the VEGA EU H, I'm promising myself the same quality on the block and more spin.

The new "H" series of Xiom's Vega line is quite controlled actually.
So to gain power you will need to excert more force than their "old" counterparts.
The Vega Pro is way easier to get power out of than the new Vega Pro H.
Vega Asia H is also quite controlled and needs power and acceleration.
Additionally these are NOT tacky. You will not lift a ball with it's "stickiness".

As jk said, the H range is quite a lot slower than the original Vegas, but more spin sensitive. You'll have to play actively, or be looking for a change in this direction.

They are slightly tacky - far less than classic Chinese rubber (and less than jk's Rakza Z / PK 50), but important to say that they aren't simply grippy like the original Vegas either. A lot of the recent ESN hybrids are like this.
