Euro is sharper than the Pro. it is also a bit slower than pro. That may have been because of the weight (pro: 91 gr, Euro 85 gr) Both blades can create good spin but in my opinion, Euro creates more spin at the table than Pro. Around 2-3 feet from the table Pro is more powerful than Euro and creates more spin on full shots. Euro has better touch than Pro. The feel of Euro is close to Viscaria. The Pro seems a more stable blade for a FH attacker (due to its weight, head-heaviness and speed) while the Euro suits a more balanced game (BH opening and aggressive blocking). Thanks |

Thank you Ashish, as I would imagine it would be except for slower than the Pro - but as you said, it is probably due to weight difference.

Please be aware that Pro may not necessarily be heavier than Europe. When I was buying my blade I've seen the weights of both versions (Pro and Europe) vary between 75 and 85 gr ... and the heaviest of the four blades I weighted was Europe, at 85 grams. |

Thanks for pointing that out. I am aware there is a big variation in weight with Xiom (as well as others) blades.

By the way, if someone can share your experience on differences between Vega Pro blade and the Hayabusa Zxi, that would be great! Thanks!

Vega Pro vs Zxi.
Vega Pro (limba) is the wrong blade to compare with Zxi. Vega Euro is a better comparison (koto). Stiffness: Zxi > Euro = Pro Sharpness of contact: Zxi > Euro > Pro Hardness: Zxi > Euro > Pro Touch Shots: Euro > Pro > Zxi Vibration: Euro > Pro > Zxi Rubber Hardness Match: Zxi (45 or more) > Pro, Euro (42 or more) Balance of FL: Euro > Pro > Zxi (Very Head Heavy) Distance of play: Zxi > Pro > Euro Handle size: Zxi > Euro, Pro Having owned all of these I can say that Euro is the most balanced blade. Pro is not that bad and Zxi is not that good. Zxi is too fas, direct and stiff and requires very fast feet and excellent technique. Pro is good everywhere except at the table, where it feels a bit non linear. Euro is very linearbut a little weak far off the table. It plays nearly as good as a Zjk SZLC at a third of the price. |

Can anybody compare the Vega Euro to the Zetro Quad? (and, for that matter, could anybody compare either of them to the Adidas Fibertec Power?)
