Used by Vladimir Samsonov. The best rubber for winning under the new regulations, with even greater advantages compared to a fresh glued rubber. Hard VIP sponge gives a great speed boost, while allowing the spin and finesse needed for the modern game.

This rubber is pretty hard, controllable and have good spin. Serve: not easy with fast blade. Classic attack : great with high speed and low angle. Loop: I can generate most powerfull loop with great speed and controll with BH against chop - killer setup. Smash: very good/Excellent Flip: middle. I tried it as FH rubber on my nimbus VIP blade but it's too fast - just could'n move so fast, so put it onto BH and it suits well there. Ot has not much dwell time for counter powerloop but great for countering against any spin from both hands. You dont need to create big swing - just short to counter the top spin whatever place on the table with not excellent but good spin and really high speed. I suppose, some people will not find it matching their style - this rubber feels much harder than Tenergy 05(using on my FH).

I found this to be a very solid, versatile rubber, but better suited to folks who hit and hit-through the ball more than spin-loop. It is very fast and has good control when countering. It serves and pushes well and easily. It loves to power loop, but has nice touch in the short game. It is pretty firm, and has short dwell when spin looping. It isn't unmanageable, but does require good strokes and contact. I think I play better with spinny openings, and generally counter or smash weak responses. This isn't as easy to open with as some, but is exceptional at putting away opponent's mistakes.

Very great rubber in the new "VOC-free-time". In cause of the aspect that the rubber exists only with max. sponge only aggressive player should play this. Very good spin and incredible smashing in combination with a hard blade. In realtion to speed and spin is this rubber the opposite of Butterfly tenergy rubbers. More speed but "less" spin.
