Explanation
XIOM’s high-end rubber series, Omega VII series, first Omega VII Pro, Omega VII Euro, Omega VII Asia, Omega VII Tour ( 4 types of Omega 7 Tour) were sold. Although it is a little heavy, the impression of the Omega 7 series is that it is easy to get a straight and speedy ball, but I felt that it was stable due to rotation. In addition, it is easy to imagine the features because it is named in the same way as the naming of the Vega series targeting beginners and intermediates. Europe, which uses a slightly soft sponge, which is common in the Vega series, professionals who use a sponge hardness of their choice for the top layer, Asia, which uses a slightly harder sponge, and the world’s highest peak world tour are inferior. The Omega 7 also follows the standing position of the rubber that I want to clearly convey that it is a tour that uses a hard sponge with a performance that does not.
This Omega VII Hyper is the first rubber named Hyper in such an Exion rubber. This Omega 7 Hyper is touted as a rubber that is overwhelmingly easy to handle while having hardness and ball power like Chinese adhesive rubber. A rubber developed with reference to the Chinese rubber that is sweeping the world. The point is that it is a spin-type tension rubber like an adhesive rubber. Actually, when I opened it, the sheet was a normal spin tension sheet, but the sponge was extremely hard and the bubbles were quite small, so it was a sponge rubber that seems to be used for adhesive rubber.
Comparison of Omega VII Hyper and Tour, rubberized and weight

I think it is easier to understand if you compare it with the image. You can see that the Omega 7 Hyper is a fairly dense and clogged sponge, although the bubbles are finer and not as good as the Hurricane.
I’m sorry I couldn’t prepare the photos again, but the Omega 7 Hyper was thicker and shorter than the Omega 7 Tour. I think that the grain shape of this sheet is also the shape that can be seen with adhesive rubber.
The rubber weight of Omega 7 Hyper and MAX was 54g on Zhang Jike ZLC (Zhang Jike ZLC)! By the way, the rubber weight of Omega 7 Tour, MAX was 52 g. It’s pretty heavy!

The tabletop is outstandingly easy to do! Especially the fit of Chiquita is good!
Of course, the stop is short and easy to put down, but Chiquita was easier to do than that! I didn’t over-miss at all even if I tried to make a big turn. Since it can be rotated quickly, it also has a feeling of adding a sense of stability to Chiquita, which was a very good feeling. If Chiquita makes an over mistake, I think it’s an ant to try. There is a feeling that you can hit with adhesive rubber instead of Omega 7 Hyper, but with adhesive rubber, if you do not make the impact quite strong, you will often fall or just send a chance ball. Omega 7 Hyper was outstandingly easy to do as a rubber that can obtain stability and fit while maintaining a constant speed with spin type tension.
Although it is hard, it has a good bite and is easy to handle!
This may be true for the entire Omega 7 Series. To hit a ball with a tremendous amount of rotation that the opponent makes a mistake, it is necessary to have a certain impact, swing speed and how to use the body, but even if you hit it with a force of about 50% to 60%, it is easy to rotate, and any technology You can put it on the opponent’s court very stably! Any technology is made of rubber that is very easy to do. Even if the impact was weak in the back, the middle team back drive was easy to hit and there was a sense of stability. Also, the sponge is hard, so it was easy to meet. To put it badly, it may be a half-baked rubber, but personally, I want to drive and flick, I want to do blocks, I want to meet, I want to do counters, I want to do this and that too! I think that it is a very well-balanced rubber for those who say.
While maintaining speed comparable to the Omega 7 tour, further rotation and a sense of stability!
Compared to the Omega 7 Tour, it is not an adhesive rubber, so the speed was as fast as it was. Nevertheless, the Omega 7 Hyper had a sense of stability and the amount of rotation. Certainly, the speed drive was hard to bite, so it felt more difficult than the Omega 7 tour, but the speed of the drive in the rally was satisfactory. Still, there was a sense of stability, so it was a rubber that made it easy to feel a sense of security. The Omega 7 Tour seems to be a little quicker to get off the ball like the Tenergy 80, but the Omega 7 Hyper was a rubber closer to the Tenergy 05 Hard.
Each technics review
Forehand
Light hit
I don’t really bounce. It’s a sticky shot feeling.
Drive on long balls and rallies
The ball does not stretch, but it is easy to hit a ball that has been rotated. The amount of rotation is not as high as that of adhesive rubber, so halfway may be halfway. If you want stickiness and speed, you can say that.
Loop (top spin) drive against back spin
It’s very easy to do. The sponge was hard, and it was easy to hit a low and shallow loop drive near the net. I don’t think the amount of rotation is low, but I felt that a little power was needed.
Counter drive
It was easy to do.
Backhand
Counter drive
It was pretty easy to get rid of and I was very impressed.
Stop
The ball also stopped and it was easy to do.
Push
Push was also easy to do. The ball grips, but I felt that skill was needed to cut it firmly.
Chiquita
It was easy to do. There was a feeling that it settled down firmly when I took the plunge.
