From manufacturer:

Speed	/
Spin	/
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	7.7
Spin $<b>Spin</b> is the amount of ball rotation generated by the rubber. This is affected by the rubber\'s tackiness, sponge thickness, sponge hardness as well as the blade\'s flexibility.$	8.3
Control	8.3
Tackiness $<b>Tackiness</b> refers to the level of stickiness of the rubber surface. Traditional Chinese rubbers are usually tacky enough to lift a ball off the table by pressing the rubber on top of the ball, whereas traditional European and Japanese rubbers do not.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Very tacky</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Tacky</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium tacky</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Slightly tacky</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Completely non-tacky</td></tr></table>$	0.9 - Completely non-tacky
Throw Angle $<b>Throw Angle</b> is the angle that the ball is projected from strokes like the loop. Assuming the loop stroke is the same, a high throw angle will lift the ball higher. Tacky rubbers often have a higher throw angle.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>9+</td><td>Very high</td></tr><tr><td>7 - 9</td><td>High</td></tr><tr><td>5.5 - 7</td><td>Medium-high</td></tr><tr><td>3.5 - 5.5</td><td>Medium</td></tr><tr><td>1.5 - 3.5</td><td>Medium-low</td></tr><tr><td>Under 1.5</td><td>Low</td></tr></table>$	6.3 - Medium-high
Weight	2.3 - Light
Sponge Hardness $<b>Sponge Hardness</b> refers to the density of the sponge. This is measured in degrees:<table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td><td>Degrees</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Hard</td><td>45+ degrees</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Medium Hard</td><td>43-44 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium</td><td>41-42 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Medium Soft</td><td>38-40 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Soft</td><td>under 37 degrees</td></tr></table>$	0.4 - Soft
Gears $<b>Gears</b> refers to a rubber\'s ability to produce a wide range of speeds. A rubber with a wide range of speeds (many gears) can produce slow speeds (on gentle strokes) and high speeds (on hard strokes). With few gears, you may always produce fairly slow balls, or always produce fairly fast balls on lighter and harder strokes.$	5.3 - Above average gears
Durability	4.8 - Average durability
Consistency	10.0
Overall	7.9 4.0

Reviews of the JOOLA Express X-Soft

you should only play this one if you love sound and incredibly soft rubbers. there's nothing else this rubber offers: spin is so so, it's not really fast and it lacks control

Definitely the slowest of the JOOLA express line, but more ideal to a beginner starting to spin the ball. It's softer then the other express rubbers which gives more dwell time and control with the ball, which gives you an easier time to spin the ball. It reminds me of a sriver or a mambo with a slight glue effect.

i dont know what the guys above are saying. this rubber gets very nice spin. the speed is not as fast as the other express rubbers but it's still fairly fast. it is soft but is great for the fh. i give this rubber an A-.

I have played with soft rubber on my BH over the years like Donic Desto F3 and F3 Big Slam, but I wanted to give this a try. The first 2 weeks was great, but after that a dramatic drop off. I recommended this to a couple of my students and they tried it as well with the same results...great for 2 wks...then Kapow...it bottoms out. Use Desto F3 or BigSlam if you like soft rubbers.

this rubber is amazing when u first get it. the looping is very accurate and the spin is wonderful and the control is second to none. the sound is also very loud. however, this does not last a long time at all. after 2 weeks there is a sudden drop off in spin. the ball begins to skid on the rubber, and there is a loss of control. unless ur rich enough that u can afford to get new rubber every 2 weeks, dont buy this
