Hey, i'm thinkin of trying this goody for bh, but cant decide which one. maybe someone tried these? or should i try omega 5 pro? Currently using roundell, but it's to slow for me. want something like tenergy 64, but softer and with a bit less speed. thanks :)
blade: xiom hayabusa zx

fh: t64

Sigma 2 is about as fast as 64. Vega europe is softer and has less speed. It's an upgrade from roundell which is in my opinion severely overpriced for a rubber that is very lackluster. Vega Europe's not in the top tier range on Sigma 2/Tenergy 64 though.

Omega V Pro is a rubber for FH. Sigma 2 probably is a better choice for BH.

You may also try some other Japanese rubbers like, Yasaka R7 soft, Nittaku Fastarc G/S/S-1 or Nittaku Hammond Pro Beta. They are all good BH rubbers.

I'm currently using Omega IV Pro on FH and Vega Europe on BH. I'm liking Vega Europe very much for it's all-around control, but still having some good speed. I've also used Nittaku Hammond Pro Beta, but it is definitely lower spin that is better for flat hitting, whereas the Vega Europe is better for looping and blocking IMO.

Omega Pro has a hard sponge and definitely has more catapult-effect, which is great for aggressive attacking, i.e. typically more suitable for FH.

i'm also thinking about nittaku fastarc c-1, but thinkin what to change first. cause i changed my blade and t64 is a bit to small for hayabusa, so will change in near future. any xiom rubber is around similar to t64? :)

have read that omega V tour is quite similar. btw in my country any tynergy is 6euro more expensive than nittaku fastarc or 12euro more than omega 5(sigma) series
