From manufacturer:

Speed	/
Spin	/
Tensor $<b>Tensor Rubber</b> - Tensor rubbers have a pre-tensioned rubber topsheet, already pulled tighter so it has some built in catapult effect to increase speed and spin. Normal rubbers don\'t have extra tension.$	No

From community:

Speed	8.9
Spin $<b>Spin</b> is the amount of ball rotation generated by the rubber. This is affected by the rubber\'s tackiness, sponge thickness, sponge hardness as well as the blade\'s flexibility.$	7.7
Control	7.6
Tackiness $<b>Tackiness</b> refers to the level of stickiness of the rubber surface. Traditional Chinese rubbers are usually tacky enough to lift a ball off the table by pressing the rubber on top of the ball, whereas traditional European and Japanese rubbers do not.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Very tacky</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Tacky</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium tacky</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Slightly tacky</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Completely non-tacky</td></tr></table>$	3.2 - Slightly tacky
Throw Angle $<b>Throw Angle</b> is the angle that the ball is projected from strokes like the loop. For a topspin loop, a high throw angle will lift the ball higher. Tacky rubbers often have a higher throw angle. <br><br><b>Note: This rating refers to the topspin strokes only.</b> On an underspin chop, the same rubber with a high throw angle will actually produce a very low angle on a chop (it is reversed). This rubber should still be rated as high throw since the rating refers to topspin.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>9+</td><td>Very high</td></tr><tr><td>7 - 9</td><td>High</td></tr><tr><td>5.5 - 7</td><td>Medium-high</td></tr><tr><td>3.5 - 5.5</td><td>Medium</td></tr><tr><td>1.5 - 3.5</td><td>Medium-low</td></tr><tr><td>Under 1.5</td><td>Low</td></tr></table>$	2.7 - Medium-low
Weight	4.0 - Average
Sponge Hardness $<b>Sponge Hardness</b> refers to the density of the sponge. This is measured in degrees:<table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td><td>Degrees</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Hard</td><td>45+ degrees</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Medium Hard</td><td>43-44 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium</td><td>41-42 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Medium Soft</td><td>38-40 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Soft</td><td>under 37 degrees</td></tr></table>$	5.0 - Medium
Gears $<b>Gears</b> refers to a rubber\'s ability to produce a wide range of speeds. A rubber with a wide range of speeds (many gears) can produce slow speeds (on gentle strokes) and high speeds (on hard strokes). With few gears, you may always produce fairly slow balls, or always produce fairly fast balls on lighter and harder strokes.$	6.5 - Above average gears
Durability	5.6 - Average durability
Consistency	8.3
Overall	8.5 4.3

It's fast, but doesn't seem to have a strong speed glue feel. The spin is medium, but isn't great with control.

Update, put some of this on a OFF-Andro blade. Pretty fast, medium hard sponge. Played pretty similar to COPPA . I had it on my BH-BH loops were effective as were the serves. Counters were fine-the sponge isn't too soft

It's medium soft but very fast. Good glue-effect. Some people find it's hard to control, but after I've got used to it, it is a very powerful weapon. However, unfortunately this rubber is not approved by ITTF anymore. Banda out of business? or bought by Stiga? I want to find a similar rubber, any suggestion?

I am using this rubber for a while on my both sides.First the control is difficult.Ä°t is speedy but I didn't like its spins.Space of rubber not sticky so cant cover the ball and mistakes at topspin.I like its speed but the other features are low-medium level...

goma decente tiene buen efecto y gran control pero la velocidad deja mucho que desear al igual que helix normal le falta ese efecto catapulta caracterÃstico de las gomas rÃ¡pidas aun asÃ es bueno para el revÃ©s ya que pose un buen control
