Has anyone used Xiom Omega Europe 4 and Omega Europe 5 before? Can give a comparison? Which one is harder and faster? How about incoming spin sensitivity? Thanks

From whatever lil iv read, even though ov only tried OIV pro briefly, and used Ov pro for a while, main differnce would be that OV pro Atleast feels a bit slower, less spinnier and less powerful than the OIV pro.. However I havnt tried the OIV euro, the OV euro wasnt too bad though, and I tend to hate soft rubbers.. OV tour actually was my fav FH rubber of the lot.
Lots of info in the forum if you search around. |

Omega V Pro shouldn't really be compared here. It's widely considered to be the worst of all Omega V rubbers. |

I am using Omega europe 4. It is fast and controlable. Does anyone can comment on Omega europe 5? Could it be slower?

Physically, OE5 has a softer topsheet and harder sponge than OE4. For me, the bigger difference is the age of the rubber. OE4 is a product of its time, and it uses the shiny, plastic-y topsheet that ESN rubbers used back then (similar to Rakza, Aurus, Acuda, P7). OE5 has a softer, matte topsheet similar to more modern ESN (Rasant Grip, EL-S, Acuda Blue). Personally, I find OE5 grips the plastic ball a bit better on shots with less clean contact.
That aside, OE5 is less bouncy, more linear, higher top speed. Both have good spin.
