From manufacturer:

Speed	11.0 / 12
Spin	11.0 / 12
Control	10.0 / 12
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	8.5
Spin $<b>Spin</b> is the amount of ball rotation generated by the rubber. This is affected by the rubber\'s tackiness, sponge thickness, sponge hardness as well as the blade\'s flexibility.$	8.7
Control	8.6
Tackiness $<b>Tackiness</b> refers to the level of stickiness of the rubber surface. Traditional Chinese rubbers are usually tacky enough to lift a ball off the table by pressing the rubber on top of the ball, whereas traditional European and Japanese rubbers do not.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Very tacky</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Tacky</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium tacky</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Slightly tacky</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Completely non-tacky</td></tr></table>$	4.3 - Medium tacky
Throw Angle $<b>Throw Angle</b> is the angle that the ball is projected from strokes like the loop. Assuming the loop stroke is the same, a high throw angle will lift the ball higher. Tacky rubbers often have a higher throw angle.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>9+</td><td>Very high</td></tr><tr><td>7 - 9</td><td>High</td></tr><tr><td>5.5 - 7</td><td>Medium-high</td></tr><tr><td>3.5 - 5.5</td><td>Medium</td></tr><tr><td>1.5 - 3.5</td><td>Medium-low</td></tr><tr><td>Under 1.5</td><td>Low</td></tr></table>$	3.0 - Medium-low
Weight	4.0 - Average
Sponge Hardness $<b>Sponge Hardness</b> refers to the density of the sponge. This is measured in degrees:<table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td><td>Degrees</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Hard</td><td>45+ degrees</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Medium Hard</td><td>43-44 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium</td><td>41-42 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Medium Soft</td><td>38-40 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Soft</td><td>under 37 degrees</td></tr></table>$	5.5 - Medium
Gears $<b>Gears</b> refers to a rubber\'s ability to produce a wide range of speeds. A rubber with a wide range of speeds (many gears) can produce slow speeds (on gentle strokes) and high speeds (on hard strokes). With few gears, you may always produce fairly slow balls, or always produce fairly fast balls on lighter and harder strokes.$	9.3 - Many gears
Durability	7.3 - Lasts longer than average
Consistency	10.0

Description of CTT National Pride

A new generation of rubber. Pride has a large vertical pip structure combined with an aggressively tacky surface. Pride is especially suited for aggressive over the table attack and devastating spin. This rubber has the ability to maintain low arc with high spin giving your opponents much less time to adjust to attack shots. Designed for use at the highest levels of national play.

Reviews of the CTT National Pride

hammer said this on April 30, 2013:

I am comparing this rubber to 729-5:

The sponge looks the same. The pips are the same diameter as 729-5's but a bit longer. This gives the top sheet a bit more bounce but also more flexibility which makes it easier to loop with. It seems tackier than 729-5 but time will tell. (Both rubbers are quite tacky when new.)

I like this rubber, but then I also like 729-5. Others who like -5 might want to give this rubber a try. I plan to stick with this rubber and see how it ages but so far so good. I think the throw is lower than 729-5 but I've been able to adjust.

Reviews of this rubber on Euro sites in other languages are pretty good but you have to search hard and translate them to read them! The rubber seems more popular outside N. America.
