Can anyone compare Omega 7 Euro's hardness with T05FX or Bluefire M3 or Acuda S3?

3) Xiom OV7 Pro - 47.5 Degrees
4) Xiom OV7 Euro - 42.5 Degrees

Hope this helps, just for reference.
* *Rubbers might be harder/softer than advertised.


How does this compare to stuff like MX-P, which is advertised at 47.5 degrees on the ESN scale.
Also, something like Omega 5 tour which is my BH is 48~ degrees.

So how on Earth is their new tour gonna be a whole 7 degrees harder!

Those values seem crazy high.

The tour has 55 degrees but it feels.softer.than 55 because of the softer topsheet.

Hi friends, O7P with pips structure of t80 (I find it in google images in china site) , with thin top sheet above pips like all tenergy rubbers, sounds me like ... t80 Smile . If 47.5 euro degree is like 36 japan degree SmileTongue. So ... rubber for balance Big smile. It's wonderful although I prefer 45 degree euro hardness and it's soo a pity that there is not t80 with 45 degree sponge or from other brands .... but with thin top sheet above pips. May be like O7P with 45 degree sponge hardness CryBig smileLOL uou. Good luck friends.

They are very different.

Speed - VII Euro
Spin - Equal
Control - V Euro
Hardness - V Euro is harder

They also feel quite different. VII Euro has much more pop and speedglue feeling than V Euro. V Euro of course has great feeling too but VII Euro feels more more dynamic. Of course that comes with less control, especially for the short game and such.

It's probably the fastest 42.5 degree sponge rubber currently available. It's speed feels comparable to Tenergy 05 but feels much softer. It is faster than 05fx.

Hey Skevros, 

I've tried the Hexer Powergrip in 2.1mm before. It's a dream come true with that auto loop magic feeling! But regarding speed, I just tried the OVii Euro in Ultramax thickness on the same blade. I do feel that the O7 Euro is faster despite being softer. 
O7Euro topsheet feels stiff yet dynamic, with the airy Ultramax feeling. I agree with Generalspecific. It's one of the fastest 42.5 degree rubbers I've ever tried too.

Hexer Powergrip its too hard for me (47,5)

i prefer medium soft rubber (45) spinny and little fast.

Surprisingly the Omega VII Pro doesn't feel hard at all. Once I adjusted my moves to sink the ball I really like it. One of the best for my BH so far
