Speed	8.5 /
Spin	9.0 /
Control	7.0 /
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 $<b>Spin</b> is the amount of ball rotation generated by the rubber. This is affected by the rubber\'s tackiness, sponge thickness, sponge hardness as well as the blade\'s flexibility.$	8.1
Control	8.5
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 $<b>Throw Angle</b> is the angle that the ball is projected from strokes like the loop. For a topspin loop, a high throw angle will lift the ball higher. Tacky rubbers often have a higher throw angle. <br><br><b>Note: This rating refers to the topspin strokes only.</b> On an underspin chop, the same rubber with a high throw angle will actually produce a very low angle on a chop (it is reversed). This rubber should still be rated as high throw since the rating refers to topspin.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>9+</td><td>Very high</td></tr><tr><td>7 - 9</td><td>High</td></tr><tr><td>5.5 - 7</td><td>Medium-high</td></tr><tr><td>3.5 - 5.5</td><td>Medium</td></tr><tr><td>1.5 - 3.5</td><td>Medium-low</td></tr><tr><td>Under 1.5</td><td>Low</td></tr></table>$	6.0 - Medium-high
Weight	4.5 - Average
Sponge Hardness $<b>Sponge Hardness</b> refers to the density of the sponge. This is measured in degrees:<table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td><td>Degrees</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Hard</td><td>45+ degrees</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Medium Hard</td><td>43-44 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium</td><td>41-42 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Medium Soft</td><td>38-40 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Soft</td><td>under 37 degrees</td></tr></table>$	2.8 - Medium-soft
Gears $<b>Gears</b> refers to a rubber\'s ability to produce a wide range of speeds. A rubber with a wide range of speeds (many gears) can produce slow speeds (on gentle strokes) and high speeds (on hard strokes). With few gears, you may always produce fairly slow balls, or always produce fairly fast balls on lighter and harder strokes.$	7.0 - Above average gears
Durability	7.0 - Lasts longer than average
Consistency	8.3
Overall	8.8 4.4

Nittaku Magic Carbon gives maximum control for the offensive player! Has an excellent balance of spin and speed. Great for the offensive player who wants to be the one in control, placing even the fastest shots with great touch.

Reviews of the Nittaku Magic Carbon

Frogger said this on September 28, 2009:

A good allround offensive rubber that has good control and decent speed. Plays very much like Mendo. I believe this rubber is now discontinued. Good for someone who thinks the Tensor rubbers are to fast.

This is the rubber I learned to play with. It was the perfect starter rubber for me. I improved very quickly, and this rubber kept on giving as I kept getting better. I get frustrated when Nittaku doesn't figure out how to continue to use some of it's better past topsheets and just improve their sponges to keep up with the times. The Magic Carbon, and the Reforma topsheets are great rubbers. They just need sponge/tension updates to keep up with the game.

Classic Rubber by Nittaku.
I experimented with these rubber
Due to the fact that it was use by former Swedish player and because of Its affordable price. Php 1,350 pesos. Its about $35. Since I'am using an all wood off - blade. I achieved a different level of
Control on my forehand loops and blocks. This rubber is an all around but can be an offensive rubber. A soft to medium rubber. In addition to, I used magic carbon to my Sardius blade as forehand rubber and it works amazingly great.
Topsheet. A Decent speed and spin. This is a beginner to intermediate level but can also use as an advance player pair with stiff/hard offensive plus and you will have a weapon in your hands. Recommend these rubber to one of my club member and he likes it. He uses a primorac off- wood bat.
I glue this rubber with a bit of mix of speed glue and works for me.
bought 2 pcs. for reserve.
