About Vega O Hard Asia

Xiom Vega O Hard Asia is a 2026 inverted (pimples-in) sheet made in Germany. It belongs to the Vega series, is ITTF-approved (code 79-097), and is aimed at offensive (OFF) players who want offensive close-to-table and mid-distance topspin.

Vega O Hard Asia uses pre-tensioned tensor sponge with a catapult effect and relatively low dwell and a grippy, non-tacky topsheet typical of European tensors. Manufacturer sponge hardness is 50° (Tensor); a cut sheet is about 45 g. Factory sponge thicknesses: 1.8, 1.9, 2.0, 2.1, MAX. Sold with topsheet in Black and Red; sponge in cream. Vega is Xiom's volume tensor series (Europe, Asia, Tour, Japan, Elite, Pro, China) at mid-European street prices.

On the TableTennisReview 0–100 index the Combined figures are speed 84, spin 87 and control 79 (official mapping 83 / 86 / 79). That is a mid-to-high speed inverted profile for offensive close-to-table and mid-distance topspin. Hardness, weight and thickness above are factory facts — not lab tests.

Community score 8.4 / 10 from 79 reviews. Indicative European street price €42. Compare Vega O Hard Asia with other Xiom Vega and inverted rubbers on the same scale, or open the catalogue filters for OFF inverted sheets.

Factory thicknesses

Factory sponge thicknesses sold in Europe: 1.8, 1.9, 2.0, 2.1, MAX. These are shopping facts — Combined speed / spin / control on this page do not change with thickness.

1.8: Thinner inverted sponge. Allround and first-upgrade backhands live here more often than attacking forehands.
1.9: The usual club backhand thickness on inverted tensors. A bit more control, a bit less catapult than 2.1 / MAX.
2.0: Mid-thick. Common on the backhand when MAX felt lively, or as a two-wing compromise.
2.1: Still a thick attacking sponge. A small step down from MAX on some tensors — shops treat it as the other FH thickness, not a control sheet.
MAX: Thickest factory sponge. Most catapult on a tensor; the usual attacking forehand. Combined figures on this page are for the SKU, not a separate MAX score.
