From manufacturer:

Speed	/ 0
Spin	/ 0
Tensor $<b>Tensor Rubber</b> - Tensor rubbers have a pre-tensioned rubber topsheet, already pulled tighter so it has some built in catapult effect to increase speed and spin. Normal rubbers don\'t have extra tension.$	No

From community:

Speed	8.4
Spin $<b>Spin</b> is the amount of ball rotation generated by the rubber. This is affected by the rubber\'s tackiness, sponge thickness, sponge hardness as well as the blade\'s flexibility.$	9.1
Control	8.1
Tackiness $<b>Tackiness</b> refers to the level of stickiness of the rubber surface. Traditional Chinese rubbers are usually tacky enough to lift a ball off the table by pressing the rubber on top of the ball, whereas traditional European and Japanese rubbers do not.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Very tacky</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Tacky</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium tacky</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Slightly tacky</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Completely non-tacky</td></tr></table>$	6.5 - Medium tacky
Throw Angle $<b>Throw Angle</b> is the angle that the ball is projected from strokes like the loop. For a topspin loop, a high throw angle will lift the ball higher. Tacky rubbers often have a higher throw angle. <br><br><b>Note: This rating refers to the topspin strokes only.</b> On an underspin chop, the same rubber with a high throw angle will actually produce a very low angle on a chop (it is reversed). This rubber should still be rated as high throw since the rating refers to topspin.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>9+</td><td>Very high</td></tr><tr><td>7 - 9</td><td>High</td></tr><tr><td>5.5 - 7</td><td>Medium-high</td></tr><tr><td>3.5 - 5.5</td><td>Medium</td></tr><tr><td>1.5 - 3.5</td><td>Medium-low</td></tr><tr><td>Under 1.5</td><td>Low</td></tr></table>$	3.0 - Medium-low
Weight	2.7 - 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	5.0 - Average durability
Consistency	7.5
Overall	8.3 4.2

Reviews of the Juic 999 Elite Ultima

TTPlayer said this on January 3, 2009:

This rubber, with the ultima sponge being in the tensioned category, is very sensitive to blade hardness, and plays better with faster blades. Speed is much lower on softer blades,almost like a defensive rubber. Low throw angle. Ball needs to be hit more head-on than a grazing style as most of the speed required to put the ball over the net is due to the sponge. Top sheet tackiness wears away quickly with time. The rubber has a somewhat nonlinear response - at low impacts it is quite slow, but reveals its true colors when the ball is struck in a more direct fashion. Spin is on the high side and the rubber is lightweight. All in all, it takes getting used to, but not exactly a rubber with all the gears. Maybe more suitable for backhand. Have'nt found the ideal blade for this rubber yet. A friend had this on a Yiyong Fan Extra blade and was able to loop just about anything that came his way. Max thickness sponge recommended.

06/2008: Tried this unglued on a stiffer blade, made a big difference. Traces of its full power were clearly visible. Great feel, fast and very spinny and a nice backhand rubber.

Great backhand rubber, it's not the fastest, but it has nice feel to it. There is a definitive feeling of the ball sinking through sponge until it hits blade. I would definately recomend it at a thickness of 2.0-2.5.

This rubber was one of my favorites back when reglue was ok and the ball was smaller. Recently I used it on a 10mm jpen blade for the first time & noticed it could be dangerous for both your opponent and you. Can be used for a simple block-hit game and for loop drive as well and that is the trick, you should avoid to fall in any of the two moods and play more like an agressive allround. It has a low throw angle and the spin is mostly on the surface, and yet, is not like a hard chinese rubber. Good for spinny serves and pushing.

Ok for the backhand. Sensitive to spin good for serves, and control topspins.
