Xiom Vega Tour Speed: OFF+ Hardness: 45 degrees (HARD) Weight: 64-65 grams (uncut) I was lucky to have the Xiom Vega Tour (VT) because at the time it was sent to me, I think I was the only one who has it outside Korea to test it. I was surprised to have this at an earlier time because I was...

This is the flagship rubber of Xiom in 2020 and is the contemporary of Butterfly Dignics 09C. This has more spin than D09c and almost in the level of Hurricane 3. This is also faster than Dignics 09c. The topheet is slightly tackier than D09c and has more grip and bite on the ball. Overall a...

Weight: 48 grams (cut)Speed: OFF+Spin: Very HighType: ESN The topsheet reminded me with the Omega V’s texture and grain but it is different because of the topsheet design. It has the cherry red topsheet compared to the matted red ESN topsheets that new generation ESN rubbers are using right...

Weight: 51 grams (cut)Speed: OFF++Spin: AverageType: ESN I borrowed an MX-K Hard version from a friend and also an MXK 47.5 version which I will call MX-K H and MX-K M for a better lack of term and for shortening it. This is the first ESN made rubber by Nexy. The last Nexy rubber I have tried...

Weight: 67 grams uncut Hardness: 42.5 degrees Speed: Off This is the softest rubber among the DNA series. It is also light at 67 grams uncut and approximately 47 grams cut to a standard blade. Out of the packaging, the DNA PRO S has a semi soft feel when you are pressing against the topsheet...

Weight: 71 grams uncut Hardness: 50 degrees ESN scale Speed: OFF++ In my opinion, this is the flagship rubber of Stiga today. The DNA Pro rubbers are composed of 3 rubbers but this for me is their best rubber right now. This is considered as a thin topsheet-thick sponge rubber so it is...
