Stiga Boost TS

This rubber can surprise with the type of blade you are using with it. It gets extremely very fast with fast blades. I have got best loops with this rubber as the type of spin it produces is much more than Boost TX on Hinoki Blade. This rubber gets a good grip on the ball and good for both FH and BH. I think it is important to make sure you clean your rubber and put a tacky protective sheet( I used Nittaku) so that rubber does not looses its tackiness that help to develop that grip. One major problem with this rubber is when you take it off from your blade then chances are that you ll end up damaging the rubber because of super soft sponge. The throw angle of this rubber is much higher than Boost TX so you need to adjust your bat's angle to make sure that ball stays close to net.

The sound of this rubber will surprise your opponent. For the beginner, i suggest to put this rubber on def or def+ blade. But one thing that really disappoint me about this rubber is that almost impossible to remove the water based glue on this rubber without damaging the sponge. This rubber has the most fragile sponge in compare with all the rubber that I ever tried.

Been using this rubber for about 3 years. Started with it on a Yasaka Ma-Lin offensive. NOT to be recommended. Then I changed it to a Stiga HyperTech CR 35/45. And that was wonderfull to play with! Only issue is that the Rubbet lose it's tackiness after 4 mounth of playing (play about 4 times a week) But change rubber 3 times a year Ain't that bad. Right now I'm still using Stiga Boost TS on my forehand but have swaped to KTL (LKT) Pro XT on my backhand. Wonderfull controll but hard to open with.

Spiny,fast rubber for the beginner-intermediate player!

Nowadays we play with the Poly ball. Should the rubber have some amount of tackiness ? Boost TS don't have in compare with the Mantra or Airoc. Please comment.
