XIOM Omega IV Euro distinguishes itself with its medium-hard construction, strong spin, and excellent control, making it suitable for advanced intermediate players and professionals:

• Top Sheet Composition: Hyper Elasto technology, based on natural rubber, with an optimized pimple structure ensuring maximum spin and deep ball "dwell" on the surface. The built-in "speed-glue" effect enhances spin and speed, while a new chemical composition design increases trajectory height. Compared to the XIOM Omega IV Pro (~47.5°–50° sponge, ~12.9/20 speed), the Omega IV Euro offers slightly higher speed (~13.5/20) and significantly better control (~11.5/20 vs. ~10.0/20), but similar spin (~13.6/20 vs. ~13.8/20).

• Carbo Sponge: The medium-hard (~42.5°) Carbo Sponge, enriched with carbon fiber, acts as an efficient "black engine," transferring energy with minimal loss. The sponge provides a balanced catapult effect, which is softer than the Omega IV Pro, making it suitable for players seeking a blend of control and power. Compared to the XIOM Omega V Asia DF (~50° sponge, ~14.5/20 speed), the Omega IV Euro sponge is softer, offering higher control (~11.5/20 vs. ~10.1/20) and slightly lower speed.

• Hyper Elasto Technology: This technology expands the "window" above the net through which the ball must pass to land safely on the opponent’s side, increasing the statistical success rate of shots. As a result, the rubber allows for higher trajectories while maintaining precision, which is particularly beneficial for topspin strokes and rallies. Compared to the Butterfly Tenergy 05 (~36° sponge, ~15.0/20 spin), the Omega IV Euro provides slightly less spin but similar speed (~13.5/20 vs. ~14.0/20) and comparable control (~11.5/20 vs. ~12.0/20).

• Spin and Trajectory: The Hyper Elasto topsheet and Carbo Sponge ensure a higher arc trajectory (9.2/10), facilitating topspin strokes and precise shots in rallies. The rubber effectively responds to backspin balls, making opening strokes easier. Compared to the DHS Hurricane 3 Neo (~40–42° sponge, ~15.5/20 spin), the Omega IV Euro offers less spin but easier handling and higher control.

• Control: Due to the medium-hard sponge and Hyper Elasto technology, the rubber provides excellent control, especially for topspin strokes, blocks, and close-to-table play. Compared to the XIOM Vega X (~47.5° sponge, ~11.3/20 control), the Omega IV Euro offers slightly better control and easier handling, making it suitable for a wider range of players.

Technical Indicators and Playing Characteristics:

• Speed (108/100, ~13.5/20): The XIOM Omega IV Euro is a balanced rubber suitable for topspin strokes, counterattacks, and precise shots near the table or from mid-distance. The Carbo Sponge ensures a smooth catapult effect, especially at maximum thickness, while remaining controllable in passive strokes. Compared to the XIOM Omega V Asia DF (~14.5/20 speed), the Omega IV Euro is slower but more controllable. Compared to the Nittaku Fastarc G-1 (~13.9/20 speed), the speed is similar, but control is higher.

• Control (92/100, ~11.5/20): The Hyper Elasto technology and medium-hard sponge ensure excellent control, particularly in topspin strokes, blocks, and return shots. Compared to the XIOM Omega VII Pro (~11.5/20 control), the control is identical, but spin and speed are balanced for a broader player base. Compared to the Butterfly Tenergy 05 (~12.0/20 control), control is slightly lower, but spin and speed are well-balanced.

• Spin (109/100, ~13.6/20): The Hyper Elasto topsheet generates strong spin, especially in topspin strokes and serves. Compared to the XIOM Vega X (~16.1/20 spin), spin is lower, but handling is easier. Compared to the DHS Hurricane 3 Neo (~15.5/20 spin), spin is lower, but handling is easier, and control is higher.

• Trajectory (9.2/10): The higher arc trajectory facilitates topspin strokes and precise shots in rallies. Compared to the XIOM Omega IV Pro (8.9/10), the trajectory is higher, making it easier to attack against backspin balls. When blocking, the trajectory remains stable, suitable for active blocks.

• Sponge Thickness: Maximum thickness enhances the catapult effect, making it ideal for offensive play and topspin strokes.

Playing Aspects:

• Topspin Strokes: 9.6/10 – The rubber is highly effective in topspin strokes, especially forehand strokes against backspin balls, due to the Hyper Elasto technology and Carbo Sponge, which ensure strong spin and a high trajectory. Suitable for opening strokes and dominating rallies.

• Blocking: 9.4/10 – Effective in blocking topspin strokes near the table, especially on the backhand side, thanks to the Hyper Elasto technology and medium-hard sponge, which help maintain stability.

• Push Shots (Pressure Push): 9.5/10 – Allows for precise push shots against backspin or non-spin balls, particularly due to the spin potential of the Hyper Elasto topsheet.

• Counter-Hitting: 9.5/10 – Suitable for quick counterattacks near the table or from mid-distance, especially due to the Carbo Sponge’s catapult effect and Hyper Elasto precision.

• Attacking Smashes: 9.3/10 – Effective in flat smashes, generating fast and precise trajectories with high power.

• Serves and Receives: 9.5/10 – Allows for precise serves, particularly with the Hyper Elasto topsheet, and is highly effective in passive receives (9.5/10) and active receives (9.4/10) due to strong spin and control.

• Flick Shots: 9.5/10 – Banana flicks are easily executed due to the Hyper Elasto topsheet and medium-hard sponge, ensuring precision and spin.

Compatibility with Blades:

XIOM Omega IV Euro pairs well with all-round and fast blades that complement the rubber’s spin, control, and easy handling:

• Nittaku Engent (~11.3/20 speed, ALL+): Enhances the rubber’s control and spin, ideal for the backhand side of all-round players.

• Donic Skachkov Carbospeed (~13.1/20 speed, OFF+): Complements the rubber’s speed and spin, suitable for forehand aggressive topspin strokes.

• DHS Q968 Hurricane King National (~12.9/20 speed, OFF+): Ensures an excellent balance of speed and spin, suitable for the forehand side.

• Butterfly Zhang Jike ALC (~12.8/20 speed, OFF+): Complements the rubber’s speed and spin, suitable for aggressive players.

• XIOM Axylium (~12.5/20 speed, OFF): Enhances the rubber’s spin and control, suitable for both forehand and backhand sides.

It is recommended to use the Omega IV Euro at maximum thickness on either the forehand or backhand side with all-round blades (e.g., Nittaku Engent) or fast blades (e.g., Butterfly Zhang Jike ALC) to maintain racket balance and maximize control potential.

Additional Information:

The XIOM Omega IV Euro is developed based on the Hyper Elasto platform, integrating Carbo Sponge and a built-in "speed-glue" effect to ensure energy efficiency and high performance. Compared to the XIOM Omega IV Pro, the Omega IV Euro offers a softer sponge, higher control, and slightly less spin, making it suitable for a wider range of players, including advanced intermediate players. Compared to the XIOM Vega X, the Omega IV Euro provides less spin (~13.6/20 vs. ~16.1/20) but higher control (~11.5/20 vs. ~11.3/20) and easier handling, making it ideal for technical players. Users highlight the rubber’s "deep ball dwell," "excellent control," and "high trajectory," though some note that maximum thickness may be less effective for aggressive shots without strong technique. The rubber is durable, but it is recommended to clean the surface regularly with a specialized cleaner (e.g., XIOM i-Clean) and use a protective film to prevent damage. ITTF-approved, the XIOM Omega IV Euro is suitable for high-level competitions and is ideal for players seeking a balanced rubber with strong spin and excellent control.
