Omega Series

Historic advantage of rubber technology proven real-play performance after the ban

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

For the true spirit of table tennis

VOC packed speed glues damage the enviroment 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..."

Amazing new technology for the spirit

True spirit of ban can be found in new technology applied to OMEGA series. OMEGA series, are not only clean and safe but also professonally 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.

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.

This is the revised version of TSP Curl P1R which was once banned by ITTF. P1R has the longest and softest pips among the TSP CURL rubbers produces very deceptive spins and actions after bouncing. The best long pips rubbers to generate maximum underspin while cutting a top spin ball. The TSP Curl P1R is for active modern defenders and choppers.

It is not a forgiving rubber for a beginner. Start your chopping game with TSP Curl P3 before migrating to TSP Curl P1R.

TSP Curl P1 R, a long pimple out rubber with profiled pimple surface. The thin pimples made out of soft rubber, support the possibility to produce dangerous defensive shots. It is possible to bring in your own chopping variation, which almost all professional players prefer.

TSP Curl Series:

Four types of TSP long pips rubbers have been approved by ITTF. The redesigned CURL rubber sheets P1R, and P3 ALPHA R CURL rubbers have been produced to have the optimum level of playing characteristics of the original designs of the P1 and P3 Alpha CURL rubbers. The latest assortment of ITTF approved TSP CURL products are follows:

P1R has the longest and softest pips among the TSP CURL rubbers produces very deceptive spins and actions after bouncing.

P2 has the same design as before. This CURL produces deceiving spins while allowing you exceptional control.

P3 has the same design as before. This CURL is great for a combination of defensive and offensive play.

P3AlphaR is very pliable and has soft long pips produces more deceptive shots than P3 and P2. It will also absorb the fastest of drives and spins.

The OX version comes with a glue sheet. You don't need glue sheet to affix the TSP Curl P1R OX version onto a blade.

The world top players who use TSP Curl P1R:

• Joo Se Hyuk - World Top 11 
• Chen Weixing - World Top 10 
• Ding Yaping - World Top 92 
• Evgenij Chtchetinine

The TSP Curl P2 is considered as a medium pips while it is not. It has exceptional control and behaves like the medium pips.

TSP Curl P2 is now back in our collection since many European top players favored this unique long pimple rubber (about 1,8mm long) with wide pimples. The TSP has re-launched TSP Curl P2 again in 2009.

It is ideal for those who not only want to defend but also want better block and counter possibilities.

VOC Free Blade Protector. A must for water based glues.

A partner of I-BOND and I-PSA. The VOC free I-SURE protects the blade surface from damages caused by removing the rubber. I-BOND or I-PSA are clean and safe, but the water glues are stronger in nature than speed glues. In case that you use too much water glues by accident or your blade surface is soft, I-BOND and I-PSA might damage your blade like any other water glue products. I-SURE is a perfect option for the insurance.

This is a 25 ml easy to carry bottle. Allowed to be carried in flights.

The TSP Feather Side tape is made of form cloth. Unlike other thin side tapes, the TSP Feather Side tapes can protect the racket in situations it hits the ping pong table.

The tape is 50 cm and fits a full racket. It lasts for months. You can remove the tape from the racket and put it back without any loss of glue. Just use the water based glue when the tape loses its stickiness.

Give a new look to your blade!
