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	6.0
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	8.9
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 $<b>Throw Angle</b> is the angle that the ball is projected from strokes like the loop. Assuming the loop stroke is the same, a high throw angle will lift the ball higher. Tacky rubbers often have a higher throw angle.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>9+</td><td>Very high</td></tr><tr><td>7 - 9</td><td>High</td></tr><tr><td>5.5 - 7</td><td>Medium-high</td></tr><tr><td>3.5 - 5.5</td><td>Medium</td></tr><tr><td>1.5 - 3.5</td><td>Medium-low</td></tr><tr><td>Under 1.5</td><td>Low</td></tr></table>$	3.5 - Medium-low
Weight	2.0 - Light
Sponge Hardness $<b>Sponge Hardness</b> refers to the density of the sponge. This is measured in degrees:<table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td><td>Degrees</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Hard</td><td>45+ degrees</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Medium Hard</td><td>43-44 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium</td><td>41-42 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Medium Soft</td><td>38-40 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Soft</td><td>under 37 degrees</td></tr></table>$	4.0 - Medium-soft
Gears $<b>Gears</b> refers to a rubber\'s ability to produce a wide range of speeds. A rubber with a wide range of speeds (many gears) can produce slow speeds (on gentle strokes) and high speeds (on hard strokes). With few gears, you may always produce fairly slow balls, or always produce fairly fast balls on lighter and harder strokes.$	4.3 - Average

Description of Donic Slice 40

The backspin makes the difference
The DONIC SLICE 40 has a sophisticated pimple design with a soft rubber surface tuned for defensive strategies. It is remarkably quicker as the former Slice rubber in its standard version. It offers more chop possibilities and more trickiness when defending. The DONIC SLICE 40 is not only for control, but it also has very good offensive characteristics for top-spin and counter attacks.

Reviews of the Donic Slice 40

dtbathtime said this on March 24, 2010:

Impressive consistency and pin-point accuracy when used on backhand chop/slice (as the name suggests). Deft touches are a delight. Applying varied spin is a piece of cake often catching opponents off-guard; especially good if you have an attacking game you can switch to in an instant (I use this rubber on the flip-side to an attacking forehand). Although quite slow, flat hitting has enough speed to put the point to bed (and incredible control means that the ball can be placed accurately at speed). Good for close to the table arching spinny backhand loops too. I've found durability to be better than the more offensive Donic rubbers I've used. All in all I have very little to criticise about this product.

I have this on a Stiga Tube Carbo OFF blade as backhand rubber. I have a fast Rakza 7 as forehand. Even though my blade is supposed to be a little higher in weight this combination makes the racket feather light. (I got mine pre assembled so cannot tell the weight of the Slice 40.) Even though this rubber is slow the fast blade makes it faster. It is the perfect combination to my offensive forehand. The difference in the speed compared to forehand really throws the opponent off. I can easily push short serves and then once I lift the backspin with my forehand then I can continue the topspin attack with this. Specially the control is great. I can do pinpoint topspins to the two corners of the table with this. This rubber is a great way to tame a fast blade.

After few hours. Everything written above is confirmed. I put a sheet of 1.5 on my BH to experiment with. Nice chops and great control. Looping ability is sufficient, flat, well-placed strokes can disturb your opponent's ballance. With BF M2 on FH one can kill forced high returns.
1st update. Close to horizontal orientation strokes are needed (compared to M3) you are just supposed to push your bat in the direction required. Huge control , as I suspected, perhaps due to the 1.5 thickness of the rubber , I presume. To my great astonishment it is quite easy to lift underspins. My opponents are called with their trousers down by difference in speed (Fh Bf M2 , Bh Slice40) and really heavy chops :D I cannot help annoying them.
