About Xiom table tennis equipment
Xiom Corporation is a South Korean table tennis brand founded in 2006. It broke into European clubs by labelling tensors geographically: Vega Europe (softer, more dwell), Vega Asia (faster, more direct), Vega Pro (stiffer tour sheet). That naming is unusually honest, which is why Vega remains one of the most recommended first-upgrade tensors after a premade racket.
Omega VII / Omega VIII and Jekyll & Hyde are the current higher-end spin families. Ice Cream, Hayabusa and 36.5 woods mix all-wood with carbon and unique constructions. Xiom prices in EU shops typically undercut Butterfly Tenergy and sit with Gewo Nexxus and Andro Hexer, which is the practical reason the brand fills so many club bags.
This catalogue lists the Xiom sheets and woods actually sold in Europe, with official figures mapped onto the shared 0–100 index. Regional Vega names stay in the product title so a “Vega Europe” search lands on the right sponge, not a generic Vega. Some products may be manufactured in Asia outside Korea; each page lists the factory made-in country.
Vega Europe is the usual answer to “what tensor after a hobby bat if I do not want Palio AK47”. Vega Asia suits players who already loop from mid-distance. Omega is the step toward Tenergy-class spin without Butterfly pricing. Xiom is Korean, not Chinese — do not confuse it with DHS or Friendship 729.
History of Xiom
Xiom was founded in South Korea in 2006 and reached European clubs through the Vega Europe / Asia / Pro naming, which told players the sponge tuning instead of hiding it. Omega generations and 36.5 woods followed as the brand moved up from first-upgrade tensors.
How Xiom compares
Xiom Vega Europe is compared with Palio AK47 Red as a first tensor and with Butterfly Rozena as a mid-price Japanese-style sheet. Vega Asia is faster; Vega Pro and Omega VII/VIII step toward Tenergy. Street prices sit with Gewo Nexxus and Andro Hexer, under Butterfly.

- Is Xiom Vega good for beginners?
- Vega Europe is one of the most recommended first tensors after a premade racket: softer, more dwell, priced below Tenergy. Vega Asia is faster; beginners who already loop from mid-distance sometimes prefer it. Vega Pro is the stiffer tour sheet.
- Xiom Vega Europe vs Vega Asia vs Vega Pro?
- Europe is softer with more dwell (first tensor, European looping distance). Asia is faster and more direct. Pro is the stiffer tour sheet. Names stay in the product title on this site.
- Is Xiom cheaper than Butterfly?
- Usually yes in European shops. Vega and Omega sit with Gewo Nexxus and Andro Hexer, under Tenergy/Dignics. That is why Vega Europe is a common first serious tensor.
