XIOM Omega VIII China excels with its hard construction, sticky topsheet, and exceptional spin, tailored for professional players demanding power and precision:

• Top Sheet Composition: The X-Factor sticky topsheet, engineered using artificial intelligence, ensures an ultra-strong grip and deep ball "grabbing," enabling maximum spin generation—especially in forehand topspin and loop drives. The topsheet is precisely tuned to the sponge thickness, delivering a clear and intuitive hitting feel. Compared to XIOM Omega IV Euro (~42.5° sponge, ~13.5/20 speed), Omega VIII China offers higher speed (~15.0/20) and spin (~16.1/20 vs. ~13.6/20) but slightly lower control (~13.8/20 vs. ~11.5/20).

• NIF Sponge: The hard (~52.5°) NIF sponge, characterized by ultra-slow elasticity, provides precise feedback to stroke power, maintaining control close to the table while generating high speed in mid-distance rallies. Compared to XIOM Vega Pro (~47.5° sponge, ~13.1/20 speed), Omega VIII China’s sponge is harder, delivering higher speed (~15.0/20 vs. ~13.1/20) and spin (~16.1/20 vs. ~13.4/20). Against DHS Hurricane 3 Neo (~40–42° sponge, ~15.5/20 spin), Omega VIII China matches its spin but offers superior speed and control (~13.8/20 vs. ~10.5/20).

• X-Factor Technology: Developed using AI, this technology dynamically responds to stroke force, ensuring stable control close to the table and high tension in mid-distance play. X-Factor expands the "safety window" over the net, increasing shot success rates. Compared to Butterfly Tenergy 05 (~36° sponge, ~15.0/20 spin), Omega VIII China generates more spin (~16.1/20 vs. ~15.0/20) and speed (~15.0/20 vs. ~14.0/20) but slightly less control (~13.8/20 vs. ~12.0/20).

• 2IN1 LiteMax Technology: Reduced rubber weight (compared to XIOM Jekyll & Hyde) enhances close-to-table maneuverability, especially in delicate strokes, while maintaining stability and power at high speeds. This technology balances the power of heavy rubbers and the precision of lightweight ones, making it ideal for national-level players.

• Spin and Trajectory: The X-Factor topsheet and NIF sponge produce a high, sharply curved arc trajectory (9.5/10), facilitating topspin strokes and loop drives. The rubber efficiently counters backspin balls, easing opening attacks. Compared to XIOM Omega VII Pro (9.2/10 trajectory), Omega VIII China’s higher arc suits aggressive forehand play.

• Control: The hard NIF sponge and X-Factor technology provide excellent control close to the table, particularly in delicate strokes, while remaining stable in mid-distance play. Against XIOM Vega X (~47.5° sponge, ~11.3/20 control), Omega VIII China offers superior control (~13.8/20) and spin but requires stronger technique.

Technical Ratings and Playing Characteristics:

• Speed (120/100, ~15.0/20): An ultra-fast rubber ideal for forehand topspin, loop drives, and counterattacks near and away from the table. The NIF sponge ensures a powerful catapult effect (especially in max thickness) while remaining controllable in passive strokes. Compared to XIOM Omega V Asia DF (~14.5/20 speed), Omega VIII China is faster. Against Nittaku Fastarc G-1 (~13.9/20 speed), it is significantly quicker while retaining competitive control.

• Control (110/100, ~13.8/20): X-Factor and the NIF sponge enable exceptional control in delicate strokes, serve returns, and topspin shots. Compared to XIOM Omega IV Euro (~11.5/20 control), Omega VIII China offers higher control but demands advanced technique. Against Butterfly Tenergy 05 (~12.0/20 control), control is superior but requires more skill to master.

• Spin (129/100, ~16.1/20): The X-Factor topsheet generates extraordinary spin, particularly in forehand topspin and serves. Compared to XIOM Vega X (~16.1/20 spin), spin is similar, but Omega VIII China adds higher speed and control. Against DHS Hurricane 3 Neo (~15.5/20 spin), spin is slightly higher, with vastly superior control.

• Trajectory (9.5/10): A high, heavily curved arc aids topspin and loop drives. Compared to XIOM Omega IV Pro (8.9/10), the trajectory is higher, easing attacks against backspin. Blocks remain stable, suited to aggressive blocking.

• Sponge Thickness: Max thickness maximizes catapult effect, ideal for aggressive forehand attacks and loop drives.

Playing Aspects:

• Topspin Strokes (9.8/10): Extremely effective for forehand topspin, especially against backspin, due to the X-Factor topsheet and NIF sponge. Perfect for opening attacks and dominant rallies.

• Blocking (9.4/10): Highly effective against topspin blocks (especially forehand) thanks to X-Factor’s spin resistance and sponge stability.

• Push Shots (9.5/10): Enables precise pushes against backspin or dead balls, leveraging the topsheet’s spin potential.

• Counter-Hitting (9.6/10): Excels in fast counterattacks near and away from the table due to the NIF sponge’s catapult and X-Factor precision.

• Smashing (9.7/10): Exceptional for flat hits, producing fast, accurate trajectories with high power—ideal for forehand dominance.

• Serves & Receives (9.6/10): Allows ultra-precise serves (9.6/10) and excels in passive (9.6/10) and active (9.5/10) receives due to spin and control.

• Flick Shots (9.5/10): Banana flicks are effortless, with the topsheet and sponge ensuring accuracy and spin.

Blade Compatibility:

XIOM Omega VIII China pairs best with fast blades that complement its speed, spin, and trajectory:

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

• Donic Skachkov Carbospeed (~13.1/20 speed, OFF+): Enhances explosive power for intense topspin play.

• DHS Q968 Hurricane King National (~12.9/20 speed, OFF+): Balances speed and spin for forehand dominance.

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

• XIOM Axylium (~12.5/20 speed, OFF): Improves spin and precision for forehand play.

Recommended Usage:

• Forehand: Max thickness on fast blades (e.g., Butterfly Zhang Jike ALC) or slightly slower blades (e.g., XIOM Axylium) to balance racket dynamics and maximize spin/speed potential.

Additional Information:

XIOM Omega VIII China integrates X-Factor and 2IN1 LiteMax technologies with the NIF sponge, ensuring energy efficiency, reduced weight, and elite performance. Compared to XIOM Jekyll & Hyde, it is lighter, suiting players who prioritize close-to-table finesse and mid-distance power. Against XIOM Vega X, it matches spin (~16.1/20) but offers higher speed (~15.0/20 vs. ~13.5/20) and control (~13.8/20 vs. ~11.3/20), making it a pro-level upgrade. Users praise its "exceptional spin," "crisp feedback," and "stability," though note the hard sponge demands advanced technique, especially for forehand strokes. The rubber is durable, but its sticky topsheet requires regular cleaning (e.g., with XIOM i-Clean) and protective film to prevent damage.

ITTF-approved, XIOM Omega VIII China is tournament-legal and tailored for players seeking a sticky rubber with maximum spin, speed, and precision.
