STIGA Vertical are our latest long pimple rubbers, developed in close collaboration with former Japanese National Team player Masato Shino. The pimple structure for Vertical 20 and Vertical 55 is placed in a vertical angle providing extra control and stability in your defensive strokes. These rubbers are made in Japan and developed specially for the ABS-ball to increase the spin of the modern defensive game.

Cut and Drive (Experience: ６〜１０ years) Seriously can do everything — THE god-tier pips

I'm a chopper. Though with a roughly 4:6 split between attacking and defense, opponents often asked me "wait, which are you? lol"
I used the extra-thin version of Vertical 20.
The moment I first hit with it, I fell in love.
There's genuinely nothing it can't do.
Blocking and chopping have outstanding stability.
On top of that, I could even hit a chiquita with solid spin, and the control was the best. I was even a little worried it might count as an illegal anti-spin rubber, lol.
If I had to name a flaw, it's that, partly due to the vertical pip arrangement, it's hard to get much variation in the chop.
The sponge hardness is 20°, but aside from when blocking, I don't feel much softness.
It's the best rubber for keeping my own feel intact.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

The stability is just amazing — it might be a technique issue on my end, but the ball floats up a little. For chops, I was able to send back nasty balls that look like they're not spinning but actually are. At 20°, it's an incredibly soft hardness, so it's outstandingly easy to keep down. Since it's basically all good points like this, please give it a try.

The vertical pips give a sensation of really grabbing the ball, so the chop is very easy to keep down and stable. It's not quite a sharply-cutting chop, but you can return moderately-spun chops over and over like a wall. The push takes a bit of getting used to, I think, but since the sponge is soft it's stable and also easy to put spin on. That said, it's a bit tricky in situations like the short game where you can't get a full swing in. In those cases, I'd suggest tilting the racket face up and pushing through, or catching slightly to the side of the ball.
For backhand chopping, I'd really recommend this to anyone for whom stability is everything.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft

I used this for chopping.
Both the chop and the push feel stable. It's easy to hold down hard shots, and the push is easy to cut too.
There wasn't that much variation in the chop.
I'd gotten used to horizontal-pip rubbers up until now, so since this one has vertical pips, techniques like the topspin drive where you brush the ball forward take some getting used to.
I thought this was a good rubber for a chopper.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft

You can easily play a tenacious chopping game over and over! But since it doesn't have any standout characteristics, you have to create the variation yourself!
