This is a minor rubber, but it has real character and is worth trying.
Variation/knuckle balls and spin performance coexist at a high level.
It seems to be classified as a spin-oriented rubber, but my impression is more of a speed-oriented rubber that also grabs plenty of spin.
It's a bit tricky to use yourself, but it's even harder for your opponent to deal with!
Topspin drives grab well, but meet-shots and blocks produce quite a lot of variation.
It's also handy that you can mount it with the pips running either vertically or horizontally. Mounted horizontally, you can also use it on the forehand or on the reverse side of a Japanese penhold blade.
That said, when you mount it on a Chinese penhold blade, the TENSO/BIOS logo ends up half cut off, which I wish they'd fix somehow.
Give this WRM-recommended rubber a try sometime.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft
Recomend racket EMERALD VPS V

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.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft

I think it holds a pretty unique position among tension short pips rubbers.
Like everyone says, it produces knuckle balls in a really fun way.
That said, I still haven't gotten control of my hard hits down.
Having a 1.6mm thickness option is also a feature of this 101, and it makes blocking fun.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft
Recomend racket EBENHOLZ NCT VII

I use a Chinese penhold grip.
First off, it really bounces well. In terms of feel, I'd say it bounces even more than the Evolution NCT VII.
The feel is hard and suits a striking style, so I think it also works well for players who attack close to the table. It holds the ball on the racket surprisingly well thanks to the flex you only get from a 5-ply blade, so I think it's also good for topspin drives.
The control is good too, and it's surprisingly easy to handle.
If there's a weakness, it's the weight, but since STIGA lets you check their stock, you should be able to find one around 85g.
The design is nice too. I'd recommend it.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little hard

This is a Chinese penhold blade. It's just hard, and it flies really well. That hardness feels great and gives it an indescribable feel.
The latest version even has a metal emblem design like the STIGA Emerald, and it doesn't have varnish anymore either (!)
With this rubber combination, blocking is really fun with this blade.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Hard
