- Research shows the new ITTF tolerances of poly ball impact the ability to create and maintain spin.
- STIGA Airoc M was created to combat this potential loss of power.
-STIGA Airoc M utilizes our newest OCS sponge technology (Oxygen Capsule System) to increase catapult effect without
changing the spin ratio. This allows aggressive players to maintain the same spin/speed proportions they have always enjoyed.
- The key to this evolutionary advancement is the delicate balance between the size of the air pockets within the sponge and the elasticity of the top sheet. STIGA’s engineers tested many different pip designs and tensions to achieve the perfect rubber for the attacking player.

Monitan. (Experience: １１〜２０ years) Affordable and high performance. And light.

This is my main rubber right now.
First and foremost, it's light. I'm using the thick version, but it's still about as light as the mainstream rubbers out there.
Spin is plenty too. The arc goes upward, so drives stay stable.
The hardness is medium, but it makes a nice sound and feels great to play with.
Even with the thick sponge, stops still land properly.
The downside might be that it doesn't produce all that much speed?
It's reasonably priced, but I think it's a stable rubber that works fine even in matches.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
Racket recommended use INFINITY VPS V

Used on the backhand. The ball rises easily and you can rally with stability. You can put about as much spin on your backhand drive as with Tenergy 80FX. But it's a bit lacking in speed... It's listed as medium hardness, but it feels more like around 40 degrees to me. Flat hitting felt slightly weaker. I'd recommend it as a second rubber for beginners or for anyone who wants to cut down on mistakes with small touch shots.

A friend let me try this, so here's my impression.
The feel is like the S version - a wrapping sensation that feels quite soft.
The topsheet grip itself isn't that strong, but both the sheet and sponge grab the ball, so I felt it was easy to put spin on.
That said, if you like hard rubbers you might find the feel a bit mushy, so it could be a love-it-or-hate-it kind of rubber.
It seems to give relatively good distance, so I'd recommend it more for mid-distance or away-from-the-table rally players than for those who like to stay glued to the table.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

It's harder than the S version, but still on the soft side.
It's light, which I like.
The feel is pretty unique.
It doesn't bounce much.
I think it suits the backhand better than the forehand.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Cut Man (Experience: ４〜５ years) Good hitting feel

This is a rubber with a great feel.
What a rubber with good feel is like:
You get real feedback that you're actually hitting the ball, which beginners and fast-paced female players tend to value a lot.So I'd recommend it to beginners, female players, and even advanced players who care about the feel of the hit.

Feel: excellent
Strong grip on the ball
Speed: good
Even intermediate players can get decent results
Spin: good
Brushing the ball works reasonably well
Don't expect too much from fast drives though
Loops go in consistently
Control: excellent
Cross-court shots are rock solidYou should definitely put this on a composite/special-material blade.

Yutchi @ cut The lightness is great

The lightness is really eye-opening, but as for performance... I'm personally not a fan. It's not particularly easy to use, doesn't grip the ball for spin, and doesn't give you much speed either. I couldn't help but feel that "plastic ball compatible" is just a label in name only.
