XIOM Opera Pro Table Tennis Rubber – Hybrid Power for Fast Topspin
The XIOM Opera Pro combines two distinct playing characteristics in a modern hybrid rubber: sticky ball contact and the dynamic acceleration of a tension rubber. The surface initially holds the ball during contact before the tension effect provides a clear catapult response and rapid release.
Opera Pro shows its particular strength in active topspin play. The sticky contact supports rotation and secure opening topspins against backspin, while the tension construction provides additional acceleration for fast topspin and counter-topspin. The result is a relatively low, forward-driving rebound that puts the opponent under pressure after the bounce.
With its 50.5° sponge, Opera Pro provides firm support without creating an excessively rigid overall feel. XIOM deliberately focuses not on maximum raw speed, but on speed generated through active topspin, the interaction between sticky contact and tension response, and a pronounced catapult effect.
The sticky surface also provides benefits in serve and receive situations. It supports short touch play and spin variation before the rubber transitions into its dynamic phase during offensive strokes. This creates a clear transition from controlled contact to active attacking play.
Highlights:
- Hybrid rubber combining sticky ball contact with a dynamic tension response.
- 50.5° sponge for a firm yet accessible response.
- Designed for fast, spin-loaded topspin and counter-topspin play.
- Pronounced catapult and clear click during active attacking strokes.
- Low, forward-driving rebound for increased pressure after the bounce.
- Sticky contact supports control and spin variation in serve and receive.
