REFLEX SPORTS 2005 (48th) World Table Tennis Championships

Safer Spin attack with upgraded control

• More chances and less miss-outs with "big window"
• New Black carbo-sponge to generate more power
• Longer lifetime and durability of rubber

Vega Europe has the highest ball-trajectory to create a larger safe-zone (big window) over the net. Empirical test shows bigger window effectively increases the success rate of your attack and reduce the chance of miss shots. Very easy to make spins Vega Europe also has the deeper ball catching feel at impact for the control. New black Carbo Sponge maximized the internet efficiency to generate additional energy onto the ball. Ball flies with more power as a result. Resilient tensile structure improves the lifetime of rubber by 30-50%.

Professional Spin Weapon!

XIOM introduces a highly durable and strong spin generating tensor rubber, XIOM Vega Asian. Innovative enlarged attack window over the net is a speciality of this German rubber.

The XIOM Vega Asian uses the "hyper elasto" technology and a revolutionary black "carbo sponge" - more power to reveal your skills.

Double lifetime and max durability.

Vega Pro has the deeper and longer ball-dragging feel at impact which reflexes upgraded tensile force of rubber to make more spin rotations. Spin-innovated Vega Pro makes higher and more curved ball-trajectory to create the largest safe-zone (big window) over the net. New black Carbo-Sponge maximized the dynamic efficiency to generate additional energy onto the ball. Accurate response to player's intention also makes more opportunities to lead the rally game. Resilient tensile structure of Vega Pro increases the lifetime of rubber to double.

Superior rubber for the professional player who needs spin and speed!

SPEED : 12.8
SPIN : 12.0
PRECISION : 9.4
HARDNESS(SPONGE) : 44.0 degree

FOR TECHNICAL STYLE PROS KEEN ON BALANCED AGGRESSION
DEEPER AND LONGER BALL DRAGGING AT THE SURFACE
EXTRA POWER SPINS FROM HIGH-DENSITY CARBO SPONGE

NEWLY INTEGRATED DYNAMICS AND PERFECT HARDNESS FOR RELIABLE CONTROL
 
Hyper Elasto technology rubber upgraded by new chemical composition and new Carbo Sponge. Solid ball-capturing at the surface and perfectly matching sponge hardness promote extra spins and control at ball contact. OMEGA IV EUROPE produces significantly higher ball trajectory to make bigger window over the net. OMEGA IV EUROPE stretches the ball from opponent's court aggressively as if launched from speed-glued rubber. Clicking sensation at the ball contact also reflects the maximized built-in tension simulating full speed-glue effect.
Omega Series

Built-in tension of OMEGA series exceeds the average speed glue effect and the booster effect made by uncomfortable and illegal liquid gluings.

Boosters and Speed Glues are illegal

VOC packed speed glues damage the environment and the health of the people. It has also been damaging the image of table tennis. Since ITTF announced the new regulation to stop the speed glue for the benefit of table tennis, as a bounce back of some habitual gluers, some boosters were introduced to the market. But boosters are still skin-irritating hazardous compounds against the spirit of new regulation. Finally ITTF also banned the boosters along with any substances other than water glue simply to attach the rubber on the blade.

The ITTF regulation 2.04.07 "The covering material should be used as it has been authorized by ITTF without any physical, chemical or other treatment, changing or modifying playing properties, friction, outlook, colour, structure, surface etc..."

True spirit of ban can be found in new technology applied to OMEGA series. OMEGA series of Rubbers are not only clean and safe but also professionally performing at top level of table tennis play. Speed and spin the players used to get from VOC speed glues are fully built into the OMEGA series. Level of built-in-power and spin effect in OMEGA series is even higher than those from boosters and speed gluers. Instead of struggling with toxic substances, you simply put OMEGA and just focus on your game to win.

Spin Weapon with Upgraded Speed

Higher Success rate with "Big Window" over the net.
New Black Carbo-sponge to generate more power.
Longer lifetime and durability of the rubber.

Vega Asia construction aims at speed performance for offensive players on the platform of spin-innovation Hyper Elasto. Deeper ball-dragging at the surface for spin and fast repulsion from the matching sponge for speed are superbly balanced. Higher ball-trajectory opens the larger safe-zone (big window) over the net. New black Carbo-Sponge maximized the internal efficiency to generate additional energy onto the ball. More Spin rotations also compensate the speed against air resistance. Resilient tensile structure improves the lifetime of rubber by 30-50%.

Extreme power and superb control for Chinese Players!

Dream combination for Chinese professional play. Legacy continues with new technology.

Unique customization for Chinese professionals of the next generation of breakthrough technology. TENSOR BIOS technology created a theoretical maximum tension inside of ZETA. The advantage of Chinese method to boost the tension in the extremely hard rubber with a series speed gluing will continue with this new technology - now without messy speed glue. Customized top sheet will greatly improve the winning chance in the Chinese style. Amazing power generated from the hard sponge and special top sheet, both under built-in tension will dominate the opponents.

ZETA Dream Combination

Chinese Tradition reborn in new technology

Dream combination for Chinese playing style. Balanced between extreme power and superb control. Breakthrough TENSOR BIOS for close-to-table offensive plays.

Revolutionized Technology

Impact Mechanism of topspin

The force at the impact with the ball is combined with 2 directional forces. Vertical force N creates some speed and helps the horizontal force T to create more spin rotations. In the modern  table tennis game, T force facilitates the most of agress and power. Speed glue effect enhances T over N. XIOM rubbers in TENSOR and TENSOR BIOS technology also focus on increasing T without speed glue while improving N and energy transfer dynamics at ball impact.

Breakthrough to exceed boosters and speed glues

TENSOR technology replacing VOC speed glue effect and booster effect greatly in the last decade. TENSOR BIOS introduced in 2006 reached the level of maximum spin and speed performance without speed glue over TENSOR 1st, 2nd,3rd generation. ZETA for Chinese professionals adopts the new TENSOR BIOS generation which is more stable in dynamics than its original generation. T and N reached the theoretical maximum and exceeded the level of heavily glued or boosted rubbers in average. The consistency in ball trajectory and the precision in ball control are superb if compared with any oter rubbers available.

Customization in real play

The technology itself is not at all complete to satisfy the player's need. To succeed in making final consumer products, the research on the real-play application is a must. Wide variety in stroke habits and playing skills of different player groups require "customization" of the technology to each group. XIOM divided the various play styles into major groups - European and Asian. Developing the final products into 2 different characters is an outcome of our studies over years. Not only 2 versions vary at the sponge hardness but also by the core characters needed by each group.

VEGA ELITE is the softest version in VEGA family. It is even softer and even more controllable than VEGA EUROPE. Soft TENSOR sponge of cream color is combined with Hyper Elasto top layer of natural rubber.

This special combination provides very soft feel and superb balance. Its ease of use is exceptional. VEGA ELITE doesn't demand everyday training. Safe zone (window) above net for successful topspin attack is the biggest in VEGA family.

So players can hardly mistake their attack with topspin. Also, its sound is very clear and loud. Players will be able to experience the pure pleasure of table tennis, thanks to its dynamic sound and great control. VEGA ELITE is especially recommended for European players who demand a rubber with softer feel than VEGA EUROPE.
