Speed	8.8 /
Spin	8.5 /
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	8.4
Spin $<b>Spin</b> is the amount of ball rotation generated by the rubber. This is affected by the rubber\'s tackiness, sponge thickness, sponge hardness as well as the blade\'s flexibility.$	8.5
Control	7.6
Tackiness $<b>Tackiness</b> refers to the level of stickiness of the rubber surface. Traditional Chinese rubbers are usually tacky enough to lift a ball off the table by pressing the rubber on top of the ball, whereas traditional European and Japanese rubbers do not.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Very tacky</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Tacky</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium tacky</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Slightly tacky</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Completely non-tacky</td></tr></table>$	1.3 - Slightly tacky
Throw Angle $<b>Throw Angle</b> is the angle that the ball is projected from strokes like the loop. For a topspin loop, a high throw angle will lift the ball higher. Tacky rubbers often have a higher throw angle. <br><br><b>Note: This rating refers to the topspin strokes only.</b> On an underspin chop, the same rubber with a high throw angle will actually produce a very low angle on a chop (it is reversed). This rubber should still be rated as high throw since the rating refers to topspin.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>9+</td><td>Very high</td></tr><tr><td>7 - 9</td><td>High</td></tr><tr><td>5.5 - 7</td><td>Medium-high</td></tr><tr><td>3.5 - 5.5</td><td>Medium</td></tr><tr><td>1.5 - 3.5</td><td>Medium-low</td></tr><tr><td>Under 1.5</td><td>Low</td></tr></table>$	4.0 - Medium
Weight	6.0 - Medium-heavy
Sponge Hardness $<b>Sponge Hardness</b> refers to the density of the sponge. This is measured in degrees:<table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td><td>Degrees</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Hard</td><td>45+ degrees</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Medium Hard</td><td>43-44 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium</td><td>41-42 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Medium Soft</td><td>38-40 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Soft</td><td>under 37 degrees</td></tr></table>$	3.5 - Medium-soft
Gears $<b>Gears</b> refers to a rubber\'s ability to produce a wide range of speeds. A rubber with a wide range of speeds (many gears) can produce slow speeds (on gentle strokes) and high speeds (on hard strokes). With few gears, you may always produce fairly slow balls, or always produce fairly fast balls on lighter and harder strokes.$	7.0 - Above average gears
Durability	7.3 - Lasts longer than average
Consistency	7.5
Overall	8.7 4.4

very good rubber for looping

Anonymous said this on December 29, 2010:

a bit more offensive potential than the normal sriver, looping is easier, heavyer than the norm is for rubbers like this but even though sponge is soft, it has many gears: blocks go short, kills are faster than you would expect. at priced at only 30 USD a sheet, it is butterflys 3rd most sensibly priced product, flextra being 1st and feint soft( for me) is the 2nd.

good for blocks and punches. got one on my amultart zlc. its controllable but the speed is there when you need it, maybe its because of my blade too. reliable both close and far from the table game especially for blocks and counters,. not reactive to spinny serves. like an anti. which is a good thing for returns, but a bad news if you are to loop a heavy underspin ball.
