    -The adoption of the poly ball changes the game for many seasoned all-around players.
    - STIGA Airoc S is designed to expand shot selection and feel for control players.
    - Creating a rubber sheet to provide this dynamic range of play is made possible thanks to STIGA’s new OCS sponge technology (Oxygen Capsule System).
    - We have formulated the air pockets within the sponge to with stand the strongest attacks while providing enough spring to go offensive on demand.
    -For the ability to control the tempo and to have multiple ways to score then STIGA Airoc S is your perfect choice.

      I used it on the backhand of a shakehand blade.
      The ball holds well, chiquita and pushes are easy to control, and it's easy to aim for a specific spot.
      Spin and speed are both decent — nothing special either way. The grip on the ball isn't bad, but not amazing either, I'd say?
      Blocks are also easy to control and handle. Plus it makes a nice sharp metallic sound, which is fun!
      Topspin drives also make that metallic sound and are fun to hit — they don't have much finishing power, but if you place them well they can still be a decent weapon.
      Pairing it with Rasant Power Grip is something I'd highly recommend!

      I used it on the reverse side of a Chinese penhold blade.
      Above all, it's lightweight. That said, it only comes in thick or thicker, so compared to something like the medium thickness of Calibra LT, the advantage on the reverse side is a bit smaller I think.

      Yutchi @ cut Way better than the M

      Reviews by user

      It's way better than the M version. Airoc itself might just not suit me, but I thought this one was pretty decent. I use it on my backhand — the short game is very stable, so I'd recommend it for players who want to take the initiative early.

    • Monitan.

      Monitan. (Experience: 11〜20 years) A light rubber with great flight

      Reviews by user

      It's really light overall.
      The feel is soft.
      The metallic sound is exhilarating.
      The speed feels just right, but I'd like a little more spin.
      I found the short game (pushes and the like) difficult.
      The best part was the stability and ease of topspin rallies from mid to far from the table — even someone like me who's not great away from the table can pull off curve drives, and it's just fun overall.
      My style is more close-to-mid distance, so I can't fully make use of it, but it might be a good rubber for players with a big, expansive game.
