Speed	95.0 / 100
Spin	97.0 / 100
Control	82.0 / 100
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	8.0
Spin $<b>Spin</b> is the amount of ball rotation generated by the rubber. This is affected by the rubber\'s tackiness, sponge thickness, sponge hardness as well as the blade\'s flexibility.$	8.2
Control	8.3
Tackiness $<b>Tackiness</b> refers to the level of stickiness of the rubber surface. Traditional Chinese rubbers are usually tacky enough to lift a ball off the table by pressing the rubber on top of the ball, whereas traditional European and Japanese rubbers do not.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Very tacky</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Tacky</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium tacky</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Slightly tacky</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Completely non-tacky</td></tr></table>$	2.5 - Slightly tacky
Throw Angle $<b>Throw Angle</b> is the angle that the ball is projected from strokes like the loop. Assuming the loop stroke is the same, a high throw angle will lift the ball higher. Tacky rubbers often have a higher throw angle.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>9+</td><td>Very high</td></tr><tr><td>7 - 9</td><td>High</td></tr><tr><td>5.5 - 7</td><td>Medium-high</td></tr><tr><td>3.5 - 5.5</td><td>Medium</td></tr><tr><td>1.5 - 3.5</td><td>Medium-low</td></tr><tr><td>Under 1.5</td><td>Low</td></tr></table>$	4.2 - Medium
Weight	2.8 - Light
Sponge Hardness $<b>Sponge Hardness</b> refers to the density of the sponge. This is measured in degrees:<table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td><td>Degrees</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Hard</td><td>45+ degrees</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Medium Hard</td><td>43-44 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium</td><td>41-42 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Medium Soft</td><td>38-40 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Soft</td><td>under 37 degrees</td></tr></table>$	3.7 - Medium-soft
Gears $<b>Gears</b> refers to a rubber\'s ability to produce a wide range of speeds. A rubber with a wide range of speeds (many gears) can produce slow speeds (on gentle strokes) and high speeds (on hard strokes). With few gears, you may always produce fairly slow balls, or always produce fairly fast balls on lighter and harder strokes.$	6.0 - Above average gears
Durability	7.8 - Lasts longer than average
Consistency	7.9
Overall	8.2 4.1

This is the best rubber I have ever tried for a speed glued looping game. It is often recognized as the loudest corking rubber in existance. It loads up topspin like nobody's business, but it lacks in short game to say the least. This rubber is fun fun fun, if not practical for most players.

Low-ish throw, consistent play. Very good for looping but as the arc is lower, it is easier to return Mambo loops than of MamboC which has a bit higher arc/more kick.

This rubber is the "sriver" of mambo. It's a perfect blend of speed, spin, and control. Great for beginners, and can be utilized by advanced players as well. However, once you get more advanced and get into the "speed glue" or built in glue effect zone, then you'll want to upgrade to something zippier then mambo.

Very good rubber for beginners, but some high level players also used to use it. Good sound and ball feeling.

A good rubber but I sometime feel that my pushes go to high or long

I currently play with is rubber and it has improved my game a lot.

Combined with the Zolli Light blade you get a great combination of very good control, great speed and good spin.

This is a fabulous rubber for club level players who prefer a medium fast looping game.

It is very soft, and light. The spin could be a bit more, but not bad. Speed is OK, good for allround play. When glued, it makes very big noise in the room.

this rubber is seriously slow. It's pretty good for allround rubber, but you need to have it on a fast blade or else you're gonna struggle. I would also recommend it in max.
