Speed	/ 0

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	8.4
Spin $<b>Spin</b> is the amount of ball rotation generated by the rubber. This is affected by the rubber\'s tackiness, sponge thickness, sponge hardness as well as the blade\'s flexibility.$	8.4
Control	7.8
Tackiness $<b>Tackiness</b> refers to the level of stickiness of the rubber surface. Traditional Chinese rubbers are usually tacky enough to lift a ball off the table by pressing the rubber on top of the ball, whereas traditional European and Japanese rubbers do not.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Very tacky</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Tacky</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium tacky</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Slightly tacky</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Completely non-tacky</td></tr></table>$	0.7 - Completely non-tacky
Throw Angle $<b>Throw Angle</b> is the angle that the ball is projected from strokes like the loop. Assuming the loop stroke is the same, a high throw angle will lift the ball higher. Tacky rubbers often have a higher throw angle.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>9+</td><td>Very high</td></tr><tr><td>7 - 9</td><td>High</td></tr><tr><td>5.5 - 7</td><td>Medium-high</td></tr><tr><td>3.5 - 5.5</td><td>Medium</td></tr><tr><td>1.5 - 3.5</td><td>Medium-low</td></tr><tr><td>Under 1.5</td><td>Low</td></tr></table>$	4.7 - Medium
Weight	3.0 - Light
Sponge Hardness $<b>Sponge Hardness</b> refers to the density of the sponge. This is measured in degrees:<table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td><td>Degrees</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Hard</td><td>45+ degrees</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Medium Hard</td><td>43-44 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium</td><td>41-42 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Medium Soft</td><td>38-40 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Soft</td><td>under 37 degrees</td></tr></table>$	4.3 - Medium
Gears $<b>Gears</b> refers to a rubber\'s ability to produce a wide range of speeds. A rubber with a wide range of speeds (many gears) can produce slow speeds (on gentle strokes) and high speeds (on hard strokes). With few gears, you may always produce fairly slow balls, or always produce fairly fast balls on lighter and harder strokes.$	4.0 - Average

Description of Donic Desto F2

The DONIC DESTO F2 is for the player who in the past has used the traditional spin elasticated rubber, but is searching for more fun, but without the use of speed glue. Players who find the DONIC DESTO F3 a little too slow, but find the DONIC DESTO F1 just a little too fast will discover that the DONIC DESTO F2 will give that extra edge to all aspects of their game that they have been searching for. If you want to use speed glue but still maintain good control, the DONIC DESTO F2 will be ideal.

Of all the rubbers I've tried that claim to feel glued without glue, this is one of the very few that truly does have a click. It starts off mid-soft, but quickly becomes very soft. It's a good rubber for topspinning, but is poor in the short game...serve, push, etc. I gave it an 8.5 because it isn't tacky and it's not very spinny in the serves and pushes. But in terms of topspin it's very spinny. That's why it's always tough to reduce these measurements to a single number.

Good for looping - touchy for pushing or soft touch shots.

Very, very delicate.

If you don't loop everything loop-able, this probably isn't your best bet...

This was the first tensor rubber i've ever played and i was amazed by it in an instant. Since this rubber has a quite soft sponge, i could feel how and when the ball hits my blade which mediated a good feeling for the ball. Playing topspins was even more fun though. I think this rubebr is good for players who like playing with spin instead of speed. That's what i liked about this rubber.

good for offensive players

i believed the "spin glue effect" with this rubber and have never looked back. It is a bit harder than most such rubbers, and i preferred it for backhand. servers, pushes, blocks and chops are handled very well - looping revealed a bit less control in my case, but it could be technique. i was really sad when i learned it was discontinued.
