The XIOM table tennis rubbers have speed glue effect built into the sponge. So, comparing a traditional Chinese rubber having hard sponge to a XIOM rubber having hard sponge can’t bring out any facts. The XIOM rubbers having hard sponge has a lot of control than traditional rubbers with hard sponge.
The XIOM hard sponge rubbers give more speed and power than the Euro version, however it is hard to control when compared to the Euro version. The Asian version fits players who have used to speed glue Chinese rubbers having hard sponge with at least 5-10 layers of speed glue.
The Asian version suits players who want to play an all-round game. The Euro version suits players who play mostly with modern top spin.
If you have used Asian or Japanese table tennis rubbers before, the Asian version will suit you. However, these rubbers are faster than Japanese or Asian rubbers because of the speed glue effect. If you prefer more control and modern top spin game, the Euro version suits you.
