XIOM Vega Europe DYF Inverted Rubber

An inverted rubber of hardness 37.5 whose higher-friction surface makes spin easier to apply

This is an inverted rubber (a rubber with a flat surface that makes it easy to put spin on the ball) from XIOM's Vega series. To suit plastic balls, a new manufacturing method has been introduced for the topsheet. It is a model with higher friction, for stronger spin and ball grip.

Features

• The manufacturer explains that the topsheet's friction has been increased to strengthen spin generation and the ability to grip the ball.
• Dynamic Friction is a friction technology inspired by snow tires. It aims to make spin easier to apply even when contact is slightly off.
• It also uses HYPER ELASTO and a black CARBO SPONGE containing carbon particles.
• XIOM's published values are SPEED & FORCE 6.0, SPIN & ARC 3.9, and sponge hardness 37.5.
• You can choose from two colors and two thicknesses. The country of origin is Germany.

Recommended for

• Players who want to generate spin with a high-friction surface
• Players who want stable spin even when contact is somewhat off
