XIOM Omega IV Pro stands out with its firm construction, strong spin, and powerful performance, making it suitable for advanced players with strong technique:

Top Sheet Composition:

The Hyper Elasto technology, paired with a durable top sheet, ensures strong grip and a built-in "speed-glue" effect, providing extra spin and speed. The top sheet generates dangerous spin even during fast strokes, while additional tension ensures a higher trajectory.

Compared to XIOM Omega V Asia DF (~50° sponge, ~14.5/20 speed), Omega IV Pro offers lower speed (~12.9/20) but similar spin (~13.8/20 vs. ~14.4/20) and slightly less control (~10.0/20 vs. ~10.1/20).

Carbo Sponge:

The firm (~47.5°–50°) Carbo Sponge, enriched with carbon fiber, acts as a powerful "black engine," transferring energy with minimal loss. The sponge ensures explosive speed and strong spin while remaining stable in passive shots.

Compared to XIOM Omega VII Pro (~47.5° sponge, ~14.6/20 speed), Omega IV Pro has a similar sponge hardness but offers lower speed (~12.9/20 vs. ~14.6/20) and a balanced offensive/defensive performance.

Hyper Elasto Technology:

This technology expands the "window" above the net, allowing the ball to safely land on the opponent’s side, increasing the statistical success rate of shots. This results in higher trajectories while maintaining accuracy.

Compared to Butterfly Tenergy 05 (~36° sponge, ~15.0/20 spin), Omega IV Pro provides less spin but similar speed (~12.9/20 vs. ~14.0/20) and slightly lower control (~10.0/20 vs. ~12.0/20).

Spin and Trajectory:

The Hyper Elasto top sheet and firm Carbo Sponge ensure a lower yet dangerous arc trajectory (8.9/10), ideal for aggressive topspin and flat hits. The rubber responds well to backspin balls, facilitating opening attacks.

Compared to DHS Hurricane 3 Neo (~40–42° sponge, ~15.5/20 spin), Omega IV Pro offers less spin but easier handling and balanced speed.

Control:

Despite the firm sponge, Hyper Elasto technology and the "speed-glue" effect provide sufficient control, especially in blocks and precise shots.

Compared to XIOM Vega X (~47.5° sponge, ~11.3/20 control), Omega IV Pro has less control but suits more aggressive play with higher stroke speed.

Technical Indicators and Playing Characteristics:

• Speed (103/100, ~12.9/20): A balanced rubber suitable for topspin, flat hits, and counters near the table or mid-distance. The Carbo Sponge ensures a strong catapult effect at maximum thickness while remaining controllable in passive shots.

  • Compared to XIOM Omega VII Asia (~15.0/20 speed), it is slower but more controllable.

  • Compared to Nittaku Fastarc G-1 (~13.9/20 speed), it is slightly slower but offers balanced spin and control.

• Control (80/100, ~10.0/20): Hyper Elasto and the firm sponge provide sufficient control in blocks, short play, and opening attacks but require strong technique.

  • Compared to XIOM Omega VII Pro (~11.5/20 control), control is lower but speed and spin are balanced.

  • Compared to Butterfly Tenergy 05 (~12.0/20 control), control is lower but speed and spin suit aggressive players.

• Spin (110/100, ~13.8/20): The Hyper Elasto top sheet generates strong spin, especially in topspin shots and serves.

  • Compared to XIOM Vega X (~16.1/20 spin), spin is lower but handling is easier.

  • Compared to DHS Hurricane 3 Neo (~15.5/20 spin), spin is lower but speed is balanced and control is easier.

• Trajectory (8.9/10): A lower arc trajectory aids flat hits, topspin attacks, and aggressive play.

  • Compared to XIOM Omega VII Pro (9.3/10), the trajectory is lower but still effective against backspin.

  • Blocks are stable, suitable for active blocking.

• Sponge Thickness: Maximum thickness enhances the catapult effect, ideal for attacking play and flat hits.

Playing Aspects:

• Topspin Strokes (9.4/10): Highly effective in topspin attacks, especially forehand loops against backspin, due to Hyper Elasto and the firm Carbo Sponge, ensuring strong spin and fast trajectory. Ideal for opening attacks and aggressive rallies.

• Blocking (9.3/10): Effective in blocking topspin shots near the table, especially on the backhand, due to Hyper Elasto and sponge stability, maintaining control against strong shots.

• Push Shots (9.2/10): Allows precise pushes against backspin or dead balls, leveraging Hyper Elasto's spin potential.

• Counter-Hitting (9.5/10): Suitable for fast counters near the table or mid-distance, benefiting from the Carbo Sponge catapult effect and Hyper Elasto precision.

• Flat Hits (Smashing) (9.4/10): Effective in flat smashes, generating fast, precise trajectories with power, ideal for aggressive players.

• Serves & Returns (9.3/10): Enables precise serves (9.3/10) and is effective in passive (9.3/10) and active (9.2/10) receives due to strong spin and stability.

• Flick Shots (9.3/10): Banana flicks are easily executed due to Hyper Elasto and the firm sponge, ensuring accuracy and power.

Compatibility with Blades:

XIOM Omega IV Pro pairs well with fast blades that complement its speed, spin, and balanced offense/defense:

• Nittaku Eto 2025 Snake (~13.0/20 speed, OFF+): Enhances speed and spin, ideal for forehand attackers.

• Donic Skachkov Carbospeed (~13.1/20 speed, OFF+): Boosts explosive power, suitable for aggressive topspin.

• DHS Q968 Hurricane King National (~12.9/20 speed, OFF+): Provides excellent speed-spin balance for forehand play.

• Butterfly Zhang Jike ALC (~12.8/20 speed, OFF+): Complements speed and spin for aggressive players.

• XIOM Axylium (~12.5/20 speed, OFF): Enhances speed and precision for forehand and backhand.

Recommended Use: Omega IV Pro at maximum thickness on the forehand (e.g., Donic Skachkov Carbospeed), paired with a softer backhand rubber (e.g., XIOM Vega Asia DF 2.0 mm) for blade balance.

Additional Information:

XIOM Omega IV Pro is based on the Hyper Elasto platform, integrating Carbo Sponge and a built-in "speed-glue" effect for energy efficiency and high performance.

Compared to XIOM Omega VII Pro, it offers lower speed and spin but balanced offense/defense, making it ideal for players seeking a versatile firm rubber.

Compared to XIOM Omega V Asia DF, it has lower speed (~12.9/20 vs. ~14.5/20) and similar spin but slightly less control, suiting players emphasizing two-winged attacks.

User Feedback: Players praise its "extreme power," "extra spin," and "excellent consistency," though the firm sponge demands strong technique and high stroke speed, making it challenging for non-professionals.

Durability & Care: Long-lasting, but regular cleaning (e.g., XIOM i-Clean) and protective film are recommended.

ITTF-approved, XIOM Omega IV Pro is suitable for high-level competitions, ideal for advanced players seeking power, spin, and balanced performance.
