For me the best by Xiom is Vega X. But it's totally different, it is a tensor rubber. By Tibhar.. mx-p and mx-d are my favourite rubbers. I guess it all depends on the player. ...and talking about sticky rubbers or hybrid ones, don't they sell them in colours like tensor rubbers? 🤔 I don't remember if I've seen any... Could it affect the tackiness
Hi, im currently using the K3 for the FH and i love it, i have been using it since december and i think its the best rubber ive used for the FH in my life. The problem is that it doesnt lasts a lot, and having in mind i dont have a really big budget, i have been searching for more durable and cheaper alternatives, and i crossed with Xiom Vega Pro H and Xiom J&H H52.5 The thing is, are they really like the K3? Im asking this cause i really dont want to take a step down in my game if i change my rubbers. Also, bewtween these 2 Xiom rubbers, if they are really like the K3, which is like it the most? Thanks if you answer and also thanks for the great content :)
We think that the J&H 52.5 Z is the closest speed wise with the J&H 52.5 V a close second. Every rubber has its own idiosyncrasies so it won’t play exactly like the K3 but it’s quite similar.
@@CustomTableTennis so the J&H Z52.5 is closer to the K3 than H52.5 and H Pro? And between the last two, which is closer to the K3? Cause the Z52.5 is out of my budget :(
It is going to be a little slower than the original Vega Pro but there should be a noticeable increase in spin. Vega Pro is really starting to get older and the partially tacky topsheet and newer materials used in this new version are going to result in better spin but by no means should anyone be comparing the Vega H rubbers to something like a new sheet of K3 or D09C. But at least Xiom's durability is better. The upcoming Omega 8 Hybrid and Omega 8 China, coming out in the last quarter of 2024, are going to be the actual powerful, top end rubbers of this type and will be what you should be comparing to K3. Also your thumbnail is misleading. The rubber is called Xiom Vega Pro H. Not Xiom China Pro. You should probably fix that.
Vega pro H is just a softer version of Dignics 09c and Tibhar K3. which is basically made for bh in 1st place. most players now use hard rubbers on fh. 50 to 60 for fh and 43 to 50 for bh. that's the largest trend nowadays. hybrids are the safest options to grow your game. because it's built around control and spin before speed.
So many rubbers coming out,all doing the same… taken a while but if its for you,Vegas Korea!! Absolute belter!! FH&BH!!! Just a decent fun rubber to play with and durable as taken some knock’s already!! You guys twisted my arm and love it. Great control on pure hinoki blade. Great aet up for me. Thanks Steve for all the vids/advice. It really helps with so many different/similar products available!! Confusing!!!
I believe first gen hybrid rubbers are stickier and heavier, while new gen hybrids are more about elasticity, being a notch softer and lighter
Yep. Will be interesting to see how they compare to the new Omega 8s when they come out. Would expect them to be tackier.

if i can submit a combo, it would be Vega china fh and Vega pro H bh. with a good control carbon blade it will be nice.
What is the difference between china H and Korea? Which one has more control and grip?
This rubber good for backhand ?
Great review Mr! Is the vega pro H comparable to Rakza Z?
it is not. Vega Pro H is not comparable to Rakza Z. Rakza Z is way more tacky and has better top speed.
