According to varghesep, its lightly tacky, so no way near as tacky as Hurricane. |

The ZETA is not tacky like H3 but less tacky and highly grippy. The magic is that you feel great tackiness because there is some kind of grabbing happens like a tacky rubber when the rubber comes in contact with the ball. You can spin like regular tacky rubber through its top sheet at the same time a lot of mechanical spin can be generated through hard contact.
Omega III is the sr version of ZETA and True Innovation. However Omega III is grippy and for active top spin game. You will be on your toe with Omega III. If you are a "brusher" Omega III is the right choice. I gave ZETA to a friend who could not loop for a while with his old rubber. He is back into looping now with ZETA - creates problem for me with his looping. I could not successfully return his pushes until now. His level has improved, and now he is going to get Omega III. |

I meant Senior Version. More top spin possibilities with Omega III than ZETA or TRUE INNOVATION.

Omega III jumps fast from the table because of the top spin. They are hard to return unless the player is good at countering top spin.
On the first day, you may feel little crazy in your mind because of its speed. It may take at least day to have complete control. It is like someone giving you a NASCAR in the track and asking you to drive. After you drive for a while in the track, you are the king. It has excellent control at soft impact and hard impact. The touch shots are beautiful. |

A good combination would be power rubber like ZETA, Omega II, TSP Real or JOOLA Express 1. This is for an offensive player who wants a variety of shots from the back hand.
You can have Omega III on the other side too if you can loop with back hand. With Omega series like I, II or III, you have to have an active top spin game. This is not something for a passive blocker for example. |

I suggest Omega III for the forehand and ZETA for the backhand. Why not? Twiddle the paddle and play with Zeta on your forehand in between the points.
The pictures of Omega III and ZETA are on the XIOM USA site http://www.TableTennisStore.us or http://www.xiomtabletennisusa.com |

I'm actually most interested in Zeta vs Tenergy.
Spin? Hardness? Weight? comparisons would be excellent! ^^ |

I'm sure it's softer than Tenergy by a margin as all tensors. I wonder how good is the topsheet (by means of creating spin). We know Tensors mostly depend on sponge and tension for spin but I don't like that much. If Zeta is simliar to Magna or Tackifire series for the topsheet, I might try it immediately.

ZIOM has both tensors and BIOS. The top sheet is grippy. You can generate spin with its top sheet - thats where I'm little surprised.

i've tried little more than 10 different tensor rubbers...
revolution fire, plasma 430, plasma 470, nimbus, narucross ex hard, soft,
omega1, omega2, macro, zeta... plus bryce speed, speed fx...
for me, i think zeta plays better than any other rubbers without speed glue...
Serve: i like it a lot... i can generate really heavy spins...
receive: zeta is fast rubber, but it's not too crazy bouncy like other tensor rubbers... i can control better with zeta...
loop: it's my favorite part... it generates so much spin... i just love it.
a lot of people i play with, they are amazed with spins on my loop...
one of my friend is using photino with bryce speed,
but he was generating more spins and speed with my zeta and korbel...
it is my primary rubber already...
after my first purchase... i bought another 4 sheets rubbers...
then i gave a sheet to my friend who lives in Korea...
i'll probably order more sheets when it's available...
cause it is out of stock right now... :D

have you tried any tensor rubbers with TBS?
cause i heard a lot of people saying TBS don't play well with tensor rubbers...
it has weird feelings....
if you liked any of tensor rubbers, i would try it...
but if not.... i wouldn't play tensor on TBS...
bryce speed should be good....

Good review. I think what makes ZETA different is the BIOS.
Have you liked the click sound? I have said in one thread before. This is an amazing looping + hitting rubber. |

The XIOM ZETA can go with any blade. I have been using with TSP Balsa Plus 3.5 DEF+ blade, and it is great on any blade.

@the NAM, how does the fuga play? im interested in the blade as xiom claims it has high flex but low vibration. can you confirm this? because i plan to get a zeta, and am also looking for a new blade. im curious about the control and response, and how it kicks off the blade. sorry for the threadsteal ^-^

sorry, i don't have fuga YET.... i was going to order one from Korea, but found out tabletennisstore.us will have it on stock in 2-3 weeks...
i'm currently using butterfly korbel and i doubt if fuga will work better than korbel..
cause korbel with zeta is so good....
but i'm going to get it anways....
i'll let you how it plays... :D
