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	8.3
Spin $<b>Spin</b> is the amount of ball rotation generated by the rubber. This is affected by the rubber\'s tackiness, sponge thickness, sponge hardness as well as the blade\'s flexibility.$	8.8
Control	8.8
Tackiness $<b>Tackiness</b> refers to the level of stickiness of the rubber surface. Traditional Chinese rubbers are usually tacky enough to lift a ball off the table by pressing the rubber on top of the ball, whereas traditional European and Japanese rubbers do not.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Very tacky</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Tacky</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium tacky</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Slightly tacky</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Completely non-tacky</td></tr></table>$	2.8 - Slightly tacky
Throw Angle $<b>Throw Angle</b> is the angle that the ball is projected from strokes like the loop. Assuming the loop stroke is the same, a high throw angle will lift the ball higher. Tacky rubbers often have a higher throw angle.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>9+</td><td>Very high</td></tr><tr><td>7 - 9</td><td>High</td></tr><tr><td>5.5 - 7</td><td>Medium-high</td></tr><tr><td>3.5 - 5.5</td><td>Medium</td></tr><tr><td>1.5 - 3.5</td><td>Medium-low</td></tr><tr><td>Under 1.5</td><td>Low</td></tr></table>$	5.1 - Medium

Gears $<b>Gears</b> refers to a rubber\'s ability to produce a wide range of speeds. A rubber with a wide range of speeds (many gears) can produce slow speeds (on gentle strokes) and high speeds (on hard strokes). With few gears, you may always produce fairly slow balls, or always produce fairly fast balls on lighter and harder strokes.$	8.6 - Many gears
Durability	6.8 - Lasts longer than average
Consistency	7.9
Overall	9.2 4.6

Description of JOOLA X-Plode Sensitive

The new, softer version of X-plode! The sensitive-touch effect conveys ball feeling of a special kind. While the first ball contact is extremely sensitive and therefore controlled, the rubber shows its full power at the ball take-off: the ball catapults like an â��ex-plo-sionâ�� off the rubber. The latest JOOLA Green Power technology in the x-plode sensitive provides an unique, incorporated speed glueing effect!

Hardness: 40 degrees

Reviews of the JOOLA X-Plode Sensitive

flash said this on December 24, 2010:

Very good rubber for an offensive player. It has good spin and control and decent speed.

As the name says the rubber has many gears, you can play very short returns and you have power when looping a long way from the table.

It is the best counter looping rubber I ever played and it offers amazing control if you counter loop just after bouncing or if you are 3-4 meters away from the table.

As for cons it reacts heavily to opponent spin, so playing a deep backspin return it's quite tricky for example.

just as description, i love it. not as spinny as tenergy,but the control is very good, can kick tenergy away.

love this rubber, i was using acuda s3 but found it hard work when counter looping at distance, theres no problem with this one, loaded with power and has a nice throw , very consistant and plenty of spin and good touch/control, not sure about durability yet- not had it long enough!

Very good rubber for my play - offensive controled game! Very easy to play with this rubber. I use it on FH and BH on Joola Viva blade. Excellent short game play and a lot of control at blocks and service returns. This rubber got good speed and spin and you can see it in my curly topspins. Give this rubber a try if you play topspin-block game.

bought this rubber based on the good reviews. I've been playing with Acuda S3 the past couple of years and 1 reviewer said he switched from S3 to this rubber and found it to play better for him away from the table. All I can say is that I was very disappointed in the lack of spin this rubber has. I tried it in 2.0 on a Joola Wing Fast blade, and although the blade was fairly fast I felt like my loops had very little spin. This rubber is fast and easy to play with...I'll give you that, but it produces very little spin and I will search for something with better spin or go back to S3. I think some of the other Joola rubbers such as Samba+, Express 1 & 2, and Phenix are better rubbers than this one.

Awesome rubber. I have a Joola Fever ply (offensive). This rubber plays very well on this ply. Good control, decent speed and spin. Not be the spinniest but the overall performace is very good. And lightweight too.
