 Topic: Vega Intro vs Vega Euro Comparison?Posted: 02/15/2020 at 11:23pm |

Hi,
Has anyone tried both Xiom Vega Europe and Xiom Vega Intro? I would like to know the differences between the two in terms of spin, speed, and tackiness since I use the Vega Euro as a backhand rubber, and I plan to buy Vega Intro as a forehand rubber. Thanks,  |

Neither the Europe nor the Intro is tacky, they are grippy. The Europe has slightly more spin capabilities and is bouncier. The Intro has the harder sponge (47.5° vs. 42.5° for the Europe) and a harder (as well as less elastic) topsheet than the Europe. It plays very linear with a rather low throw (Europe has higher throw) and is an entry-level Tensor rubber, similar to classic rubber like Mark V and Sriver (a bit faster than both of those). It would be a strange set-up, but tastes are different. Vega Asia would probably make more sense, at least on paper.

Thank you for your response. Do you mean Vega Asia should be a forehand rubber instead of Vega Intro if I use the Vega Euro as a backhand rubber? |

Well, if your signature is correct, you are already using the Vega Asia and are therefore familiar with it. As I do not know your level (and preferred style) of play you might want to tell us what is "wrong" with the Vega Asia and why you want to change it. That being said, having a Vega Asia/ Vega Europe set-up is similar to having a Tenergy 64 /64fx set-up (the Tenergys of course having the heiger ceiling) and to switch the Asia for the Intro would be a downgrade by one or two levels (performance-wise). Like switching from T64 to Sriver (with 64fx still on bh) or switching from Rakza 7 to Mark V (with Rakza 7 soft on bh); it would be really odd, but as I said: tastes and demands are different.
