From manufacturer:

Speed	/
Spin	/
Tensor $<b>Tensor Rubber</b> - Tensor rubbers have a pre-tensioned rubber topsheet, already pulled tighter so it has some built in catapult effect to increase speed and spin. Normal rubbers don\'t have extra tension.$	Yes

From community:

Speed	7.5
Spin $<b>Spin</b> is the amount of ball rotation generated by the rubber. This is affected by the rubber\'s tackiness, sponge thickness, sponge hardness as well as the blade\'s flexibility.$	7.8
Control	8.2
Tackiness $<b>Tackiness</b> refers to the level of stickiness of the rubber surface. Traditional Chinese rubbers are usually tacky enough to lift a ball off the table by pressing the rubber on top of the ball, whereas traditional European and Japanese rubbers do not.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Very tacky</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Tacky</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium tacky</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Slightly tacky</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Completely non-tacky</td></tr></table>$	1.1 - Slightly tacky
Throw Angle $<b>Throw Angle</b> is the angle that the ball is projected from strokes like the loop. Assuming the loop stroke is the same, a high throw angle will lift the ball higher. Tacky rubbers often have a higher throw angle.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>9+</td><td>Very high</td></tr><tr><td>7 - 9</td><td>High</td></tr><tr><td>5.5 - 7</td><td>Medium-high</td></tr><tr><td>3.5 - 5.5</td><td>Medium</td></tr><tr><td>1.5 - 3.5</td><td>Medium-low</td></tr><tr><td>Under 1.5</td><td>Low</td></tr></table>$	5.6 - Medium-high
Weight	2.9 - Light
Sponge Hardness $<b>Sponge Hardness</b> refers to the density of the sponge. This is measured in degrees:<table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td><td>Degrees</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Hard</td><td>45+ degrees</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Medium Hard</td><td>43-44 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium</td><td>41-42 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Medium Soft</td><td>38-40 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Soft</td><td>under 37 degrees</td></tr></table>$	1.5 - Soft
Gears $<b>Gears</b> refers to a rubber\'s ability to produce a wide range of speeds. A rubber with a wide range of speeds (many gears) can produce slow speeds (on gentle strokes) and high speeds (on hard strokes). With few gears, you may always produce fairly slow balls, or always produce fairly fast balls on lighter and harder strokes.$	6.4 - Above average gears
Durability	3.6 - Not very durable
Consistency	8.3
Overall	8.0 4.0

Well I got the 2.2 mm sponge version RED, and I must say that for BackHand is a very good rubber.
Its extremely soft with a very nice feeling of the ball, you can generate a lot of spin or just simply do a flat stroke and get little by little more deaf with every stroke :P
The only bad thing with this rubber, durability... Around the third week, using it 4 days a week, like 4 hours each day, you start feeling the fall of the spin, but I love it.
Great Tensor rubber =D

Firstly, this rubber is loud! It's brought back my joy of just looping and continuing the rally. I also discovered how much control it has. Now, before you all start quoting how I said "all tensors have horrible short game, no spin, blah blah..", note that I've paired it with much more sensibly speed blades. My first hit with the Impuls Speed was on a Schlager and I claimed it had no speed, no spin, hard to block. Well duh son! Anything apart from 729 lightning's gonna be unplayable on that piece of metal.

Anyways, I am using it on a Oh Sang Eun, and the combo offers speed with I need it and an abundant of spin. The thing is, what is normally into the body shots now sink perfectly into that soft sponge, creating a great loop off something mistimed.

On the FH I'll admit it can't handle the higher level techniques such as a hard flick or a loop kill off backspin, and the speed's actually not something you'd write home about, especially if they're lobbing at you. But on the BH it just shines for me. I can play all my bullcrap shenanigan shots that I've learnt from the G555, at the same time passive blocks are now weapons on their own. Not to mention the excellent feel and feedback on a punchblock!

So, I was wrong (again) about this rubber. It just needs sensibly speed blades for it to work. And perhaps techniques that are carried over from much slower equipment.

Nice sound when hitting, blocking is much worse than I expected, the only good thing about this rubber is its controlled looping against backspin or counter looping. However the spin on serves is bad.

Quang said this on December 19, 2009:

Plus: Accurate hitting, looping on backspin/opening, good speed on counter looping

Minus: Slow on driving, no spin serves, not good on blocking

I used it some years ago.... NOT for beginners. It's not very powerful, it's best just looping behind the table. Bounces very high, so a topspin is difficult to block

Very good rubber pretty soft with lots of spin the onlt bad thing is that youÂ´ll have to change this rubber every 4 months.

bhp said this on June 27, 2011:

It's very slow, but if control is what you want you'll love it.

It's perfect for beginer's bh
