Tensor $<b>Tensor Rubber</b> - Tensor rubbers have a pre-tensioned rubber topsheet, already pulled tighter so it has some built in catapult effect to increase speed and spin. Normal rubbers don\'t have extra tension.$	Yes

From community:

Speed	8.9
Spin $<b>Spin</b> is the amount of ball rotation generated by the rubber. This is affected by the rubber\'s tackiness, sponge thickness, sponge hardness as well as the blade\'s flexibility.$	8.7
Control	8.4
Tackiness $<b>Tackiness</b> refers to the level of stickiness of the rubber surface. Traditional Chinese rubbers are usually tacky enough to lift a ball off the table by pressing the rubber on top of the ball, whereas traditional European and Japanese rubbers do not.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Very tacky</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Tacky</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium tacky</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Slightly tacky</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Completely non-tacky</td></tr></table>$	2.3 - Slightly tacky
Throw Angle $<b>Throw Angle</b> is the angle that the ball is projected from strokes like the loop. Assuming the loop stroke is the same, a high throw angle will lift the ball higher. Tacky rubbers often have a higher throw angle.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>9+</td><td>Very high</td></tr><tr><td>7 - 9</td><td>High</td></tr><tr><td>5.5 - 7</td><td>Medium-high</td></tr><tr><td>3.5 - 5.5</td><td>Medium</td></tr><tr><td>1.5 - 3.5</td><td>Medium-low</td></tr><tr><td>Under 1.5</td><td>Low</td></tr></table>$	2.5 - Medium-low
Weight	4.0 - Average
Sponge Hardness $<b>Sponge Hardness</b> refers to the density of the sponge.

Gears $<b>Gears</b> refers to a rubber\'s ability to produce a wide range of speeds. A rubber with a wide range of speeds (many gears) can produce slow speeds (on gentle strokes) and high speeds (on hard strokes). With few gears, you may always produce fairly slow balls, or always produce fairly fast balls on lighter and harder strokes.$	7.6 - Many gears
Durability	6.8 - Lasts longer than average

Sponge hardness is Medium.

Reviews of the Stiga Boost TP

The harder brother of the Boost TC rubber. The TP fixes a lot of the problems with the TC, ie it has much better power over the table and killing backspin is much easier than TC. However it loses a little bit of power when you are counter-looping from far away.

The TP has quite amazing spin on loop-drives, as long as you use thin contact and getting your wrist involved in the action.

It serves much much better than the TC, since the hard sponge allows you to dig harder into the sponge before the ball is released and you can really graze the ball.

With the medium to medium-soft sponge, I'd recommend using it on a good old all-wood 5 or 7 ply.

a harder sponge than boost tx and a little bit slower. however a very nice rubber

Boost TP is the harder version of Boost TC. Same topsheets, different sponges. TP is very grippy almost tacky.

Serving is better than TC due to the harder sponge. Blocks and smashes are fast. Loops are good from away from the table, you just need a big stoke.

This rubber feels better on an ALC blade compared to TC.

This rubber needs to be broken in before it gets to it's true potential. At first TP is very hard, but after a few sessions the sponges softens up and becomes a little more springy.

Boost TP is a fast rubber but it is hard to hit a kill-shot. It is good for rally and close to table attack. The little tacky surface gives more spin then other stiga rubbers. Good to combine with hard blades.

My favourite rubber...so far! I use 2.0mm with a Stiga Allround Classic and it has a lovely combination of speed/spin/control. Replaced Sriver and it was an easy transition. Can really feel the ball in this blade. Great sound too!

It is quite hard to play at first due to the lack of power and the hardness in the sponge, but after a few moments playing it gains more power and you can use it for flicking, top-spinning and smashing. For top-spinning players, it will be better if you use a blade with a slightly longer dwell time.

its a good rubber 4 the players who have just learned how to loop and spin the serves....
in general its a medium average rubber.

Carbonation said this on September 11, 2012:

A great rubber for backhand. Can do powerful shots from a distance, and very controllable on a carbon acrylate blade. It is a slightly slower version of Almana, less punishing, but with a lot more spin and control in loops, and better balanced.

JOW said this on November 22, 2012:

Very good forehand rubber. Speed is fantastic, spin is very good and the control is very good aswell. I have this rubber on both forehand and backhand, and i must say that i didnt like it as much on the backhand, mainly because of the speed and relativly low throw, wich means that you cant, (or maybe i cant) use it on opening loops with good success. However, this is all about technique i guess :). But as a forehand rubber for offensive play, it's really good!
