XIOM Omega VII Asia is a premium-class table tennis rubber developed by South Korean manufacturer XIOM, designed for aggressive attacking players seeking maximum speed and spin. ITTF-approved, this rubber features the Elasto Futura base platform which utilizes CYCLOID AI technology, Dynamic Friction mechanism, and a hard (50°-52.5°) Carbo Sponge that delivers explosive power and strong spin. In maximum thickness, XIOM Omega VII Asia boasts extremely high speed (120/100, ~15.0/20), sufficient control (83/100, ~10.4/20), and powerful spin (119/100, ~14.9/20), making it ideal for players seeking a hard rubber that generates speed and spin with a soft hitting feel, especially when executing topspin shots. The rubber features excellent grip on plastic balls, easier topspin execution, and a dangerous arc trajectory for rally dominance. Omega VII Asia is harder than the Omega VII Pro but softer than the Omega VII Tour, offering an excellent speed-control balance for aggressive players.

The XIOM Omega VII Asia stands out with its hard construction, powerful spin, and high performance suitable for advanced and professional attacking players:
Top Sheet Composition: The Dynamic Friction technology, inspired by snow tire mechanics, ensures firm grip on plastic balls during topspin shots and serves. This technology generates strong spin across various stroke techniques while offering forgiveness on imperfect shots. Compared to XIOM Omega VII Pro (~47.5° sponge, ~14.6/20 speed), Omega VII Asia offers higher speed (~15.0/20) and similar spin with slightly less control (~10.4/20 vs. ~11.5/20).
Carbo Sponge: The hard (50°-52.5°) Carbo Sponge, enriched with carbon fiber, acts as a powerful engine transferring energy with minimal loss. The sponge provides explosive speed and a soft hitting feel that facilitates topspin shots. Compared to XIOM Omega VII Tour (~55° sponge, ~15.8/20 speed), Omega VII Asia sponge is slightly softer, offering better control (~10.4/20 vs. ~10.0/20) and more balanced performance.
Elasto Futura Technology: The CYCLOID AI technology, based on deep learning principles, optimizes the spin-speed ratio over distance, reducing net and long ball errors. The Dynamic Friction mechanism enhances grip especially for topspin shots and counters. Compared to Butterfly Tenergy 05 (~36° sponge, ~15.0/20 spin), Omega VII Asia offers similar spin but higher speed (~15.0/20 vs. ~14.0/20) with slightly less control.
Spin and Trajectory: The Dynamic Friction top sheet and hard Carbo Sponge create a dangerous arc trajectory (9.3/10) ideal for topspin and attacking shots. The rubber responds well to backspin, facilitating attacking plays. Compared to DHS Hurricane 3 Neo (~40-42° sponge, ~15.5/20 spin), Omega VII Asia provides slightly less spin but higher speed and easier control.
Control: Despite the hard sponge, the Dynamic Friction technology and soft hitting feel provide sufficient control, especially for topspin shots and counters. Compared to XIOM Omega VII China Guang (~47.5°-50° sponge, ~12.5/20 control), Omega VII Asia offers less control but higher speed and spin.
Technical Performance & Playing Characteristics:
Speed (120/100, ~15.0/20): An extremely fast rubber ideal for topspin drives, flat hits, and counters near the table or mid-distance. The Carbo Sponge delivers strong catapult effect at max thickness. Compared to XIOM Omega VII Pro (~14.6/20 speed), Omega VII Asia is faster. Against Nittaku Fastarc G-1 (~13.9/20 speed), speed is higher with stronger catapult.
Control (83/100, ~10.4/20): The Dynamic Friction technology and hard sponge provide adequate control for topspin shots and counters but require strong technique. Compared to XIOM Omega VII Pro (~11.5/20 control), control is lower but speed and spin are higher. Against Butterfly Tenergy 05 (~12.0/20 control), control is lower but speed and spin are higher.
Spin (119/100, ~14.9/20): The Dynamic Friction top sheet generates powerful spin, especially on topspin shots and serves. Compared to XIOM Omega VII China Guang (~16.1/20 spin), spin is slightly lower but speed is higher. Against DHS Hurricane 3 Neo (~15.5/20 spin), spin is slightly lower but control is easier and speed higher.
Trajectory (9.3/10): A dangerous arc trajectory that facilitates topspin and attacking shots. Compared to XIOM Omega VII Pro (9.3/10), the trajectory is similar but Omega VII Asia offers more power. Blocking remains stable for active blocks.
Sponge Thickness: Max thickness enhances catapult effect, ideal for attacking play and topspin shots.
Playing Aspects:
Topspin Drives (9.7/10): Extremely effective for topspin shots, especially forehand loops against backspin due to Dynamic Friction and hard Carbo Sponge that create strong spin and dangerous trajectory. Ideal for dominant rallies.
Blocking (9.1/10): Effective for blocking topspin shots near the table (especially backhand) but requires precise technique due to hard sponge. Dynamic Friction helps maintain stability.
Push Shots (9.2/10): Allows precise pushes against backspin or dead balls thanks to Dynamic Friction spin potential.
Counter-Hitting (9.6/10): Excellent for fast counters near the table or mid-distance due to Carbo Sponge catapult and Dynamic Friction accuracy.
Smashing (9.5/10): Effective for flat hits generating fast, precise trajectories with power.
Serves & Receives (9.5/10): Enables precise serves with Dynamic Friction and is highly effective in passive (9.5/10) and active receives (9.4/10) due to strong spin and speed.
Flick Shots (9.5/10): Banana flicks are easily executed with Dynamic Friction and hard sponge ensuring accuracy and power.
Blade Compatibility:
XIOM Omega VII Asia pairs well with fast blades that complement its speed and spin:
Nittaku Eto 2025 Snake (~13.0/20 speed, OFF+): Enhances speed and spin for forehand attackers.
Donic Skachkov Carbospeed (~13.1/20 speed, OFF+): Boosts explosive power for intense forehand topspin.
DHS Q968 Hurricane King National (~12.9/20 speed, OFF+): Provides excellent speed-spin balance for forehand.
Butterfly Zhang Jike ALC (~12.8/20 speed, OFF+): Enhances speed and spin for aggressive players.
Nittaku Engent (~11.3/20 speed, ALL+): Can be used on backhand but better suited for forehand on faster blades.
Recommended to use Omega VII Asia at max thickness on forehand of fast blades (e.g., Donic Skachkov Carbospeed) paired with softer rubber on backhand (e.g., XIOM Omega VII Euro 2.0 mm) for racket balance.
Additional Information:
The XIOM Omega VII Asia is built on the Elasto Futura platform integrating CYCLOID AI, Dynamic Friction, and Carbo Sponge for energy efficiency and high performance. Compared to XIOM Omega VII Pro, it offers higher speed and similar spin with less control, suiting aggressive players. Against XIOM Omega VII Tour, it's slightly softer with marginally lower speed but better control. Users praise its "explosive power", "soft hitting feel", and "dangerous trajectory" but note the hard sponge requires strong technique, especially on passive shots. The durable rubber should be cleaned regularly with specialized cleaner (e.g., XIOM i-Clean) and protected with film. ITTF-approved, XIOM Omega VII Asia is ideal for professional attackers seeking speed, spin, and power.
