So TT11 must be loving me. I have noticed that TT11 has put various Vega series rubber on 30% sale each week. I wonder what will be on sales tomorrow Sunday....
I have digressed. How would you rank the Vega series rubber? Xiom Vega Korea is not on sales in most parts of the world so I have not bought or considered that one yet.
I understand that Vega X and Vega Pro might be on the harder side? Xiom Vega Elite is the softest. Followed by Xiom Vega Europe as the second softest. How about Xiom Vega Japan and Xiom Vega Asia? How would you rank all of them in terms of hardest to the softest?
In addition, I have heard some people saying that they like Vega Pro more than Vega X even though Vega X is newer.
I have also read some people stating that Xiom Vega Japan has a different top sheet that is a bit more modern than the rest of the Vega series.
I am asking these questions because I have been EJ'ing with some blades. I like to find a rubber for each blade eventually. For fast blades, I am thinking about sticking softer Vega Europe on them. For slower blades, I am thinking about sticking a harder Xiom Vega rubber on them. And shelling out $45-$60 regular price for each sheet of ESN rubber is getting expensive, even after the 30% bulk discount. Xiom Vega series seems to be the best bang for the buck. And I like my BH rubber to be "catapulty" so I can do less work. Xiom Vega series seem to fit that billing.
Thanks ahead of time!
