Speed	11.5 /
Spin	9.2 /
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	8.7
Spin $<b>Spin</b> is the amount of ball rotation generated by the rubber. This is affected by the rubber\'s tackiness, sponge thickness, sponge hardness as well as the blade\'s flexibility.$	8.4
Control	8.3
Tackiness $<b>Tackiness</b> refers to the level of stickiness of the rubber surface. Traditional Chinese rubbers are usually tacky enough to lift a ball off the table by pressing the rubber on top of the ball, whereas traditional European and Japanese rubbers do not.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Very tacky</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Tacky</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium tacky</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Slightly tacky</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Completely non-tacky</td></tr></table>$	0.8 - Completely non-tacky
Throw Angle $<b>Throw Angle</b> is the angle that the ball is projected from strokes like the loop. Assuming the loop stroke is the same, a high throw angle will lift the ball higher. Tacky rubbers often have a higher throw angle.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>9+</td><td>Very high</td></tr><tr><td>7 - 9</td><td>High</td></tr><tr><td>5.5 - 7</td><td>Medium-high</td></tr><tr><td>3.5 - 5.5</td><td>Medium</td></tr><tr><td>1.5 - 3.5</td><td>Medium-low</td></tr><tr><td>Under 1.5</td><td>Low</td></tr></table>$	2.8 - Medium-low
Weight	2.7 - Light
Sponge Hardness $<b>Sponge Hardness</b> refers to the density of the sponge. This is measured in degrees:<table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td><td>Degrees</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Hard</td><td>45+ degrees</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Medium Hard</td><td>43-44 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium</td><td>41-42 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Medium Soft</td><td>38-40 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Soft</td><td>under 37 degrees</td></tr></table>$	3.9 - Medium-soft
Gears $<b>Gears</b> refers to a rubber\'s ability to produce a wide range of speeds. A rubber with a wide range of speeds (many gears) can produce slow speeds (on gentle strokes) and high speeds (on hard strokes). With few gears, you may always produce fairly slow balls, or always produce fairly fast balls on lighter and harder strokes.$	8.5 - Many gears
Durability	8.2 - Lasts longer than average
Consistency	10.0
Overall	8.4 4.2

Cermet is and excellent and an underrated rubber. Most people stumble on its superb performance. It combines the power of bryce and the feel of catapult. It has good control and is very good and doing almost anything provided you have the technique. The mid-soft sponge and topsheet allow for just enough dwell time to produce loads of spin on loops. Its softness also allows for great smashing as well as more controlled blocks. Serves are spiny and it plays well without speed glue. Great for the glue ban. Also good in mid-distance because of the high tension technology. My favorite rubber for power, spin, and consistency.

Cermet is an interesting feel rubber, it's a fast rubber with good spin on it. Very easy to use. Looping with this is very generous.

Love this rubber. I've tried many rubbers over the years and this is the one that I keep coming back to and that I've found to be the most consistent and balanced rubber with good power I've played with. On my forehand it gives me the speed, spin, and control I need to loop with ease both underspin and topspin. It also is good on smashes and flat hits. The short game is excellent too. It can produce massive spin if you try and great speed when necessary. This is my rubber of choice and is underrated amongst many players.

I started using this rubber on my forehand and am now using it on my backhand as well. It's great for looping ,serves and smashing. I highly reccomend it !!!!!

This rubber was perfect for me when I still used speed glue, without this it simply lacks speed.

A very good allround attacking rubber, used 1.9mm FH on Jonyer-H Blade. Loops, topspins have plenty of kick and heavy spin, and serves have heavy spin. Quite light. Excellent rubber, one of the best of Butterfly current lineup. I switched to Mark V recently as I can get for much less for similar performance but still rate this as a very good rubber.
