    The new STIGA Genesis combines the best of the major table tennis cultures into one rubber. It has a potent synthesis of Japanese/STIGA developed OCS technology, Swedish knowledge, and a new spin elastic top sheet made in China. Members of the Chinese and Swedish national teams collaborated to create the ultimate balance between east and west. The new top sheet is sustainably developed to increase the durability and lifetime of the rubber. The Oxygen Capsule System in the sponge generates an intense catapult effect and speed.

    - The medium sponge provides tremendous hitting power and speed
    - Made in China rubber with European characteristic spin elastic feel
    - The medium sponge is suitable for players who desire a rubber with maximum speed

    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    The rubber is highly valued for its high-quality Japanese-made sponge and balanced performance leaning toward tension-type characteristics. While front-court stability is particularly praised, the power output tends to vary depending on the player's level and technique.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • High-quality Japanese-made sponge with excellent bite
    • Good speed and smash capability despite sticky rubber
    • Excellent rotation and control performance
    • Reliable stability in front-court play and easy touch handling
    • Power tends to decrease in back-court play
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveThe Japanese-made sponge offers excellent quality, and despite being a sticky rubber, it delivers sufficient speed and smashing capability. With ample spin, it's ideal for those considering switching to sticky rubbers.
    ▽ CriticalThe soft sponge loses power in back-court play, making it more suitable for women and junior male players, which limits its range of suitable users.

      Yukiga (Experience: 11〜20 years) Feels quite different from the S version

      Reviews by user

      The S version was similar to Hui Long, so I figured this one would be similar to Xiang Long, but it turned out to be completely different.
      First, it didn't lose the stability that the S had, which made me really happy.
      Also, since it uses a Japanese-made sponge, the ball sinks into it nicely.
      With Xiang Long you get a better ball by grazing the shot, but with this one it's more like a soft version of Spinart - you get a good ball by sinking it in and hitting through it.

      Alexandra (Experience: 6〜10 years) High-quality sheet & sponge, very slightly tacky

      Reviews by user

      As you'd expect from a Japanese-made sponge, it looks clean and the quality is good.
      The orange sponge looks cool, kind of like Tenergy.

      As for performance, it has just a slight bit of tackiness.
      It feels similar to Butterfly's Spinart.

      It also gets plenty of spin, so I think it would suit anyone thinking about moving over to a tacky rubber.
      Unlike a typical tacky rubber, it still produces plenty of speed and you can smash with it too, so no need to worry there.

      The price is also reasonable, so definitely give it a try.

      If I had to compare it to another tacky rubber, I'd say Tackiness Drive. The spin feels a little lacking, and the ball doesn't grip much either. That said, it is stable on the backhand.

      First stage (Experience: 6〜10 years) An evolved version of Mark V

      Reviews by user

      A loop drive lands with a beautiful arc, a regular topspin drive clears the net and drops sharply, and a smash drive dips and then extends after it hits the table. The short game is also easy to handle, and on receive a counter goes exactly where you aim while a block cuts the opponent's power in half. Serve spin is good too - it's a well-balanced rubber! It falls short of Tenergy in raw attacking power, but overall I actually prefer this one!

      Baumkuchen (Experience: 6〜10 years) Power-focused

      Reviews by user

      The tackiness on the surface isn't overly strong, and it bounces well right from the start.
      It has a bit of that Chinese-rubber character, like a simple block coming back as a knuckleball, but the tension is strong, so it feels more like a tension rubber with a tacky surface.
      The sponge isn't all that hard, so if you can get the ball to sink in, you get a really good shot out of it. If you catch the ball too thin it tends to slip and drop short, so catching it thicker seems to give a better ball in both spin and speed.
      As far as Chinese rubbers go it's fairly stable, but it can be a bit tricky to handle at times.
      What I liked best was how stable and short I could keep small techniques like serves and receives.
      If you're already using a tacky tension rubber, I think it's worth trying.

      Reviews by user

      The sponge is soft and the sheet has good grip on the ball,
      so it's easy to put spin on shots and easy to control.
      I think it has the performance you need for playing close to the table.
      If you step back from the table, the sponge is too soft and the power drops off.
      I think it's easy to use for women and for boys up through junior high age.
