Speed	/ 0
Spin	/ 0
Tensor $<b>Tensor Rubber</b> - Tensor rubbers have a pre-tensioned rubber topsheet, already pulled tighter so it has some built in catapult effect to increase speed and spin. Normal rubbers don\'t have extra tension.$	Yes

From community:

Speed	9.2
Spin $<b>Spin</b> is the amount of ball rotation generated by the rubber. This is affected by the rubber\'s tackiness, sponge thickness, sponge hardness as well as the blade\'s flexibility.$	8.6
Control	7.9
Tackiness $<b>Tackiness</b> refers to the level of stickiness of the rubber surface. Traditional Chinese rubbers are usually tacky enough to lift a ball off the table by pressing the rubber on top of the ball, whereas traditional European and Japanese rubbers do not.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Very tacky</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Tacky</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium tacky</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Slightly tacky</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Completely non-tacky</td></tr></table>$	1.8 - Slightly tacky
Throw Angle $<b>Throw Angle</b> is the angle that the ball is projected from strokes like the loop. Assuming the loop stroke is the same, a high throw angle will lift the ball higher. Tacky rubbers often have a higher throw angle.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>9+</td><td>Very high</td></tr><tr><td>7 - 9</td><td>High</td></tr><tr><td>5.5 - 7</td><td>Medium-high</td></tr><tr><td>3.5 - 5.5</td><td>Medium</td></tr><tr><td>1.5 - 3.5</td><td>Medium-low</td></tr><tr><td>Under 1.5</td><td>Low</td></tr></table>$	3.7 - Medium
Weight	4.8 - Average
Sponge Hardness $<b>Sponge Hardness</b> refers to the density of the sponge. This is measured in degrees:<table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td><td>Degrees</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Hard</td><td>45+ degrees</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Medium Hard</td><td>43-44 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium</td><td>41-42 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Medium Soft</td><td>38-40 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Soft</td><td>under 37 degrees</td></tr></table>$	6.1 - Medium-hard
Gears $<b>Gears</b> refers to a rubber\'s ability to produce a wide range of speeds. A rubber with a wide range of speeds (many gears) can produce slow speeds (on gentle strokes) and high speeds (on hard strokes). With few gears, you may always produce fairly slow balls, or always produce fairly fast balls on lighter and harder strokes.$	4.8 - Average

Description of Xiom Omega 2 Asian

Breaking the Barrier of 2008 Speed Glue Ban

Awesome Power and Extra Precision Already Without Speed Glue

The performance leader of upcoming era. Awesome performance is
created by the next generation of breakthrough technology - TENSOR
BIOS. TENSOR BIOS created a maximum effect of speed glue inside the
rubber. The built-in glue effect eliminates the need of Liquid gluing
which will be banned from 2008 September.

Built-in speed glue effect is virtually 100% without speed gluing.
OMEGA II without any speed gluing demonstrates more powerful
performance than any rubbers normally glued. Extra consistency and
precision greatly improve the success rate of technical strokes in
high speed game. OMEGA II is developed for the professional players
of offensive style. Adoption to these great characters may take a few
days of practice, because the power from the maximized built-in speed
is far beyond your experience.

Please apply the glue just enough to attach the rubber to the blade.
Over-gluing or re-gluing will rather reduce the performance of OMEGA
II which is already at the peak of speed glue effect.

DO NOT SPEED GLUE

Reviews of the Xiom Omega 2 Asian

The Omega 2 is for all out attackers. If you can control this beast, it plays an UNCOMPROMISINGLY offensive game. But be warned, the bounciness and speed comes at a cost, this rubber could actually be THE HARDEST to play with in short game (unless you flick)...but I've also heard some people are okay with it...but "try before you buy", it's not for everybody.

Glenn said this on June 13, 2009:

This rubber is extremely fast - the fastest of the Omega series. While it claims to have a hard sponge, i find it around the same as the Roxon 450, and much softer than typical chinese rubbers. This is especially obvious after some usage of the rubber whereby the initial pumped up bounciness of rubber making it feel harder disappears.

This is simply the fastest rubber i've tried. (there is NO comparision with Tenergy - 64, 05 or 25). It smacks extremely well but i find it lacking in the loop department. Spin isn't there.

Im not sure who would suit it. Probably i fast forehand minded player or a J-pen player?

I agree with Geko below me. Try it before you buy. Its not for everyone.

pretty simple to give a review for this, fairly poor control, good spin but the highlight of this rubber is the speed. Unless your used to using lighting fast rubbers, you will need to practise a few sessions before you get used to this, but when you do your shots will be bombs, simple as!

Agree entirely with Glenn and gekogark. Speed is fabulous, and spin has room for improvement. The ok spin and high speed make it difficult to control (especially when cutting in my opinion).

As said, great for smashers and attacks.

I use with Xiom Hayabusa Zxi.
