STIGA Enthusiast (Experience: １１〜２０ years) Strongest spin among German rubbers, but picky about the blade

I think most people probably can't use this unless the blade is a bit on the softer side. At first I paired it with a Timo Boll ALC and it was way too hard to use. Switching to an Inspiera Hybrid Carbon made it perfect. The rubber grips the ball incredibly well — or, put less kindly, it's a very sensitive rubber — so a softer, more forgiving blade works best. It feels close to a Chinese rubber loaded up thick with glue. You need a solid amount of impact, but if you're good at serving, you can produce absolutely nasty amounts of spin on your serves.

I use this on the forehand. I expected the hitting feel to be super hard, but there's actually a slight sense of the ball sinking in too.
It's not the kind of rock-hard feel I expected. It has that typical tacky-rubber quirkiness, but also a reasonable amount of bounce and strong spin.
Compared to the softer-sponge Dragon Power 52.5, it's a lot harder, but even so I think it's easier to use than other rubbers with the same sponge hardness.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard

If I had to compare it to something, it feels like hitting with Hurricane Turbo Blue.
If you really brush the ball, you get a ton of spin, but if you hit it flat or softly, you don't get much spin at all.
Every so often it even feels a bit like an anti-spin rubber.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard

Out of all the STIGA rubbers I've tried, I think this one makes it easiest to get both spin and power — though it does depend on your stroke.
Even against a long serve, the rubber's own grip puts spin on the ball almost on its own. It's especially easy to lift backspin.
If I had to name one downside, it's that gluing it on makes the racket noticeably heavier.
If you're used to Pro, Platinum, or Hybrid series rubbers, this one might feel heavy to you.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard

I figured it would be hard, but it's not even close to twice as hard as I imagined.
I think the sheet is probably making up for that, giving it a decent hold on the ball. Spin also goes on nicely, but when you hit it flat you get a surprisingly fun knuckleball.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard
Racket recommended use ALEXIS LEBRUN KRYPTO CARBON

Golden Tango Follower (Experience: More than ２０ years) Pairs well with a 5-ply blade

I've been trying every tacky tension rubber from every maker I can find, looking for a successor to the Golden Tango.
The sponge is an orange, gritty sponge similar to Rakza Z Extra Hard.
If I remember right, the Hurricane King is 160×152, so at the regular size of 157×150 this one weighs about 54g.
Pushes and stops: it grips the ball the way you'd expect from a slightly tacky rubber.
Serves have some weight to them, so I'm a bit worried about wrist-heavy serves like the YG serve.
Drives: the power is absolutely insane.
The solid, crisp feel on contact was the best part.
A pro player once wrote that with this kind of rubber you can score even from an imperfect stance — and sure enough, rather than getting wild, my speed drives just flew off the racket.
This might suit players who can judge things for themselves and produce all kinds of ball quality, or who want to hit consistently good shots, more than players looking for changes of pace or unpredictable ball movement.
As I mentioned in the title, I thought it would suit a 5-ply blade, but it doesn't make much difference with an inner-carbon blade either.
It's not a rubber that forces you to pick your blade the way tacky rubbers usually do, and it doesn't feel as hard as Hurricane, so definitely give it a try.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

This one is seriously hard.
The spin and speed on drives are insane — especially for a tacky rubber.
And yet, it also uses that tacky character to make stops really easy to kill dead, so once you get used to it, you two get along great.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard
