Another thing I should mention- Vega Euro now becomes very slow after 30-40 hours of play. That makes it much harder to put away the ball. But topsheet grip is still there.

Vega rubbers lose some of their surface grip after a few weeks. But Euro is overall soft enough that it keeps a good mechanical spin for its lifetime. |

I've heard that, but I've also heard that the top sheet can be easily "revitalized" by a drop of paraffin oil being spread on and soaked in. I haven't had to do it yet, but if I notice a drop in grip then I'll give it a shot. |

I've used Vega Europe for some months now and like it. Nice and soft, quite spinny, good throw, reasonably good glue effect, quite durable (except it can tear easily around the edges). Ideal for good loopers.

I know that faster equipment will make me better, I don't need to come here to figure that out

I've been using this on my backhand for the last week or so. Red 2.0.
I was using Dawei ULQ 2.0 before (excellent control + decent speed and spin but a little too slow). After that, I briefly played with a Max Xiom Asia (too fast for me at this point). Going back to Xiom Europe. Not sure about the soft sponge + soft top sheet combination. Not much adjustment on loops, serves and push. Blocks is a totally different thing. I can't control this rubber when I am blocking. It seems to react too much to incoming spin. I actually have to be a little bit more aggressive i.e. a little bit of brush or punch. I will stay on this rubber for another week. If it still behaves the same, I might just go back to ULQ. The search for my backhand rubber continues. |

Is there a difference between how the red and the black Vega Euro's play?

No. Unless I am mistaken, black top sheets have a tiny bit of extra grip. This is because top sheets are naturally black and they are dyed red so a trivial amount of grip is lost during the dying process. At least, that's what my friend told me. But this doesn't really matter imo.

Hello everybody. Could someone advice me. I want to use Vega Europe for BH on my Acoustic but I am a bit worried is it going to play on my blade since it is quite hard. The second issue is thickness of the rubber. I am choosing between 2.0 and max. I mostly use BH for drives and block but want to develop top spins from close to the table distance. Thank you in advance. |

Vega Europe isn't "quite hard".
If that is quite hard for you... then....... |

If you are mostly looping on backhand, you should not be disappointed with the XVE 2.0.
However, something like Rakza 7 Soft in that case might be a better choice.

Thinking about FH now)) How about Genius Max or 2.0 on FH or better Omega 4 Europe? or maybe another option of Xiom. But weight is essential for me. Want to decrease the weight. My game mostly close to the table with FH loops. Thank you in advance. |

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe Vega Asia on FH to pair with Vega Euro on BH |

Decoi, thank you very much for the advices but I was choosing from what is available at the moment. Otherwise I would need to wait for several week until I get my order. I am really looking that my setup will fit me. P.S. I have watched your youtube video. Are you playing cpen? If yes, then I am playing a bit better. |
