XIOM Omega VII Tour is a premium-class table tennis rubber developed by the South Korean manufacturer XIOM, specifically designed for national team players to ensure maximum speed, spin, and aggressive attacking play. Approved by the ITTF, this rubber features the Elasto Futura base platform, which utilizes CYCLOID AI technology, Dynamic Friction mechanism, and a 55° hardness Carbo Sponge, delivering explosive power and exceptional performance. Available in maximum thickness (2.0 mm), the XIOM Omega VII Tour boasts extremely high speed (126/100, ~15.8/20), strong spin (116/100, ~14.5/20), and sufficient control (80/100, ~10.0/20), making it an ideal choice for advanced and professional attacking players seeking maximum power and precision at the table or from mid-distance. Although the sponge is hard, the medium-hard topsheet provides a surprisingly soft feel, allowing precise ball control. The Omega VII Tour is the fastest rubber in the Omega 7 series, designed for those who favor powerful drives and high-level play. XIOM Omega VII Tour is a technological masterpiece built for competitive dominance!

The XIOM Omega VII Tour stands out with its innovative construction, explosive power, and high performance, making it suitable for elite attacking players:

• Top Sheet Composition: The medium-hard topsheet with Dynamic Friction technology, inspired by snow tire mechanics, ensures strong ball grip, especially during topspin strokes and powerful drives. This technology allows for heavy spin generation even with varied stroke techniques, providing more forgiveness on imperfect shots. Compared to the XIOM Jekyll & Hyde V52.5 (~52.5° sponge, ~14.4/20 speed), the Omega VII Tour offers significantly higher speed (~15.8/20) and similar spin but slightly less control (~10.0/20 vs. ~10.0/20).

• Carbo Sponge: The 55° hardness Carbo Sponge, enriched with carbon fiber, acts as a powerful "black engine," transferring energy with minimal loss. The sponge grips the ball firmly, ensuring explosive speed and power. Compared to the XIOM Jekyll & Hyde V47.5 (~47.5° sponge, ~13.8/20 speed), the Omega VII Tour sponge is harder, delivering greater speed but requiring stronger technique.

• Elasto Futura Technology: The CYCLOID AI technology, based on deep learning principles, optimizes the spin-to-speed ratio over a given distance, reducing the likelihood of net balls or shots going long. The Dynamic Friction mechanism enhances grip, especially during topspin drives and counterattacks. Compared to the Butterfly Tenergy 05 (~36° sponge, ~14.0/20 speed), the Omega VII Tour offers much higher speed but slightly less control (~10.0/20 vs. ~12.0/20).

• Spin and Trajectory: The Dynamic Friction technology and Carbo Sponge ensure a high-arching trajectory (9.3/10), ideal for topspin loops and aggressive shots. The rubber responds well to backspin balls, facilitating attacking plays. Compared to the DHS Hurricane 3 Neo (~40–42° sponge, ~15.5/20 spin), the Omega VII Tour provides slightly less spin but significantly higher speed and direct response.

• Control: Despite the hard sponge, the medium-hard topsheet and Dynamic Friction technology provide a soft touch, ensuring sufficient control for aggressive shots. Compared to the Donic BLUEGRIP J-1 (~50–52° sponge, ~11.8/20 control), the Omega VII Tour offers less control but greater speed and power.

Technical Performance & Playing Characteristics:

• Speed (126/100, ~15.8/20): The XIOM Omega VII Tour is one of the fastest rubbers on the market, suitable for topspin drives, flat hits, and counterattacks close to the table or from mid-distance. The Carbo Sponge ensures maximum catapult effect, especially at max thickness. Compared to the XIOM Jekyll & Hyde V52.5 (~14.4/20 speed), the Omega VII Tour is significantly faster. Against the Nittaku Fastarc G-1 (~13.9/20 speed), it offers higher speed with a stronger catapult effect.

• Control (80/100, ~10.0/20): The Dynamic Friction technology and medium-hard topsheet provide adequate control, especially for topspin drives and counterattacks, but the hard sponge demands strong technique. Compared to the XIOM Jekyll & Hyde V47.5 (~11.5/20 control), control is lower, but speed and power are higher. Against the Butterfly Tenergy 05 (~12.0/20 control), control is lower, but spin and speed are superior.

• Spin (116/100, ~14.5/20): The Dynamic Friction top sheet generates heavy spin, especially on topspin shots and serves. Compared to the XIOM Vega Hybrid Pro (~15.6/20 spin), spin is slightly lower, but speed is much higher. Against the DHS Hurricane 3 Neo (~15.5/20 spin), spin is lower, but control is easier and speed is higher.

• Trajectory (9.3/10): A high-arching trajectory, ideal for topspin loops and attacking shots. Compared to the XIOM Jekyll & Hyde V47.5 (9.1/10), the trajectory is slightly higher, facilitating attacks against backspin. Blocking remains stable, suitable for active blocks.

• Sponge Thickness: 2.0 mm suits players seeking more control and sensitivity, while max thickness enhances catapult effect, ideal for attacking play and powerful drives.

Playing Aspects:

• Topspin Drives (9.7/10): Extremely effective for topspin shots, especially forehand loops against backspin, thanks to Dynamic Friction and Carbo Sponge, ensuring heavy spin and high trajectory. Ideal for dominant rally play.

• Blocking (9.0/10): Effective in blocking topspin shots close to the table, especially on the backhand, but requires precise technique due to the hard sponge. Dynamic Friction helps maintain stability.

• Push Shots (9.1/10): Allows precise pushes against backspin or dead balls, benefiting from the Dynamic Friction spin potential.

• Counter-Hitting (9.7/10): Great for fast counterattacks near the table or mid-distance, thanks to the Carbo Sponge catapult effect and Dynamic Friction accuracy.

• Smashing (9.6/10): Effective for flat hits, generating fast and precise trajectories with high power, especially on direct drives.

• Serves & Receives (9.4/10): Enables precise serves, particularly with Dynamic Friction, and is effective in passive (9.4/10) and active receives (9.3/10) due to strong spin and speed.

• Flick Shots (9.5/10): Banana flicks are easily executed due to Dynamic Friction and the hard sponge, ensuring accuracy and power.

Blade Compatibility:

The XIOM Omega VII Tour pairs well with fast blades that complement its speed and spin:

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

• Donic Skachkov Carbospeed (~13.1/20 speed, OFF+): Complements the rubber’s explosive power, suitable for intense topspin forehand play.

• 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+): Enhances speed and spin, ideal for aggressive players.

• Nittaku Engent (~11.3/20 speed, ALL+): Can be used on backhand but is better suited for forehand on faster blades due to lower control.

It is recommended to use Omega VII Tour at max thickness on the forehand side of fast blades (e.g., Donic Skachkov Carbospeed) and pair it with a softer rubber on the backhand (e.g., XIOM Jekyll & Hyde V47.5 2.1 mm) for better racket balance.

Additional Information:

The XIOM Omega VII Tour is built on the Elasto Futura platform, integrating CYCLOID AI, Dynamic Friction, and Carbo Sponge for energy efficiency and peak performance. Compared to the XIOM Jekyll & Hyde V52.5, it offers much higher speed and similar spin but requires stronger technique due to lower control. Against the Butterfly Tenergy 05, it generates comparable spin but much higher speed, making it ideal for direct drives. Users praise its "explosive power," "soft feel," and "high trajectory," but note that the hard sponge demands high technical skill, especially on passive shots. The rubber is durable but should be cleaned regularly with a specialized cleaner (e.g., XIOM i-Clean) and protected with a film to prevent damage.

ITTF-approved, the XIOM Omega VII Tour is suited for high-level competition and is ideal for professional attackers seeking maximum power, spin, and speed.
