I put black MAX on a Centric Carbon and hit with it.
The weight came out to around 52g, which for its hardness is a pretty ordinary, unremarkable weight.
As for the feel, given the listed hardness of 52.5 degrees, it doesn't really feel that hard — probably because the sheet is on the softer side — and I don't think you'd guess it wasn't 50 degrees.
As for speed, I think it has something special going for it.
I'd say it's a cut above other tacky tension rubbers like K3 or 09C.
That said, I didn't get the sense that the ball's trajectory became flatter or more linear.
However, when it comes to spin, it was pretty average — the ball rises after impact but doesn't dip down again, and I noticed quite a few long misses of about a ball-and-a-fifth's worth of overshoot.
My opponents also commented that the ball felt light, for what it's worth, so this rubber might be a tough choice if you want to compete purely on spin.
On counters too, I didn't get much sense of absorbing the opponent's spin, and because it travels far and doesn't grip much spin, my impression was that it didn't settle onto the table very well.
That said, on drives against backspin, thanks to the distance and the way the ball rises, it was easy to hit drives that would sail past the opponent's racket without them even touching it.
To sum up, this feels less like a tacky tension rubber and more like an ordinary tension rubber, so I think it would suit someone who normally uses tension rubbers but is curious about trying something with a tacky feel.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

The hardness of the sponge comes through directly, but since the sheet isn't all that hard, the grip on the ball is good and it sinks in just the right amount.
The feel might have a slight touch of tackiness to it too.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard

Switched from Platinum XH. Comparing the two, I feel like you need a strong impact to get this one to fly. Platinum felt like it flew on its own. I think this rubber is better suited to grabbing the ball and looping it.

Just going on instinct, I felt this was similar to Hybrid MK Pro. I didn't feel the sheet as being all that hard. The sponge is hard too, but rather than getting more speed than expected, it leans toward stability. I think it suits people who want to really commit to putting spin on the ball.

First off, this DNA Hybrid XH is the softest-feeling rubber in STIGA's XH lineup. I'm guessing the sheet itself is soft.
It does produce a nice arc. On the forehand, a light swing sends over a good ball, but if you tense up and swat at it, you don't really get a good ball.
Even hitting off the inside edge of the backhand, I still got really good balls.
The serve is more than good enough.
Personally I liked this better than Dragon Grip. It really feels like a cross between Dragon Grip and Platinum. It lifts backspin balls well.
It's also fine to use on an outer blade.
I plan to keep using this for a while.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I put this on an outer blade, and it lands on the table more reliably than I expected. Compared to Platinum XH, the bounce feels a bit more restrained and the spin feels higher.
