We are going to discuss the following characteristics to find XIOM Omega II's real power.

Users:

1. The world class players using XIOM Omega II.
2. The style of table tennis players using XIOM Omega II.

Specifications:

3. Speed, Spin and Hardness according the manufacturer.
4. Loop Angle and net coverage.
5. Year it was released.

Spin:

6. Rotations during serve without any force on the ball.
7. Rotations during serve when the force is applied.
8. Spin Generation - no spin, under, top and side spin.

Speed:

9. Precision on targets.
10. Directional travel.
11. Behavior to a 25 mph traveling top spin ball.
12. Behavior to a 50 mph traveling top spin ball.
13. Behavior to a 75 mph traveling top spin ball.
14. Behavior on woods that blades are made of.

Rebound:

15. The force and friction required to lift a 0 spin ball.
16. The force and friction required to lift a +2 spin ball.
17. The force and friction required to lift a +5 spin ball.
18. The force and friction required to lift a +10 spin ball.

Power:

19. The power range it can generate.

Lifting:

20. The force and friction required to lift a 0 spin ball.
21. The force and friction required to lift a -2 spin ball.
22. The force and friction required to lift a -5 spin ball.
23. The force and friction required to lift a -10 spin ball.

Strokes:

24. Controlled Looping
25. Speed Looping
26. Spin Looping
27. Blocking
28. Driving
29. Counter Looping
30. Hitting
31. Hook Loop
32. Side Spin Loop

Disturbances:

33. The striking behavior on balls based on the elevation of the playing area.
34. The striking behavior on balls based on the atmospheric disturbances like wind.

Maintenance:

35. Behavior to water or rubber cleaning solution to its surface.
36. Durability or hours of use.
37. Glue effect - both water based and VOC glues

Guidelines:

1. Try to compare with a rubber that you already have like Butterfly Bryce.
2. List the blade also you have tried the rubber with.
3. Try to avoid terms like "it is spinny". Try to be more precise in measurement.
4. Go with the item in the list you are more familiar with.

I heard that RSM is using or has used Omega IV. Is that true? Why haven't we see the commercial version for the public?
