Hello,

Just a quick question: are there any rubbers out there that play similar to Bluefire M3 but isn't as heavy? 

Cheers

Xiom Omega Euro VII, read the review via google translate here: http://www.tt-spin.de/xiom-omega-vii-euro/ and you can buy it in Australia here: https://www.justtabletennis.com.au/product/xiom-omega-7-euro/ but hurry only 8 left in stock! Max rubber weight around 41g. 

Or, Gewo Hype XT Pro 40, read the review here via google translate: http://www.tt-spin.de/gewo-hype-xt-pro-40-0-test/, should be readily available in a lot of TT stores. Max rubber weight around 43g.

The Xiom will be more offensive and a touch harder and faster than M3 but with more spin, the Hype XT Pro will be comparable to the M3. 

The Xiom is good if you can handle the extra speed, early reports suggest it has good control to compensate for the speed and its design is specifically to reduce weight whilst retaining spin and speed of heavier rubbers. The Hype XT Pro will allow you to maintain the level of control you have with M3. 

These are my opinions, I am by no means an equipment expert (like Yogi, Andy Smith, Next Level etc).

Try the Palio AK47 if you want a fast rubber that's one of the lightest there are.
Blue is great for backhand flicks. Red for forehand.


Also low cost

I've read up on the Xiom Omega 7 (XO7) and might actually give that a go.

In the meantime, can someone give me a breakdown on differences b/w Omega 5 Euro/Pro & Tour.

What I'm looking for when next upgrading rubbers is better grip on topsheet for greater spin generation on brush/ thin contact loops (I almost never drive loop kill) than the current M3 and JP03 that I'm currently using.

In terms of sponge hardness would Tour be hardest followed by Pro>Euro?

It's a real sh*tstorm trying to piece together Xiom's rubber range.

Hope someone can summarise it for me.

Cheers.
