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	7.4
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	9.1
Tackiness $<b>Tackiness</b> refers to the level of stickiness of the rubber surface. Traditional Chinese rubbers are usually tacky enough to lift a ball off the table by pressing the rubber on top of the ball, whereas traditional European and Japanese rubbers do not.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Very tacky</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Tacky</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium tacky</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Slightly tacky</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Completely non-tacky</td></tr></table>$	7.3 - Tacky
Throw Angle $<b>Throw Angle</b> is the angle that the ball is projected from strokes like the loop. For a topspin loop, a high throw angle will lift the ball higher. Tacky rubbers often have a higher throw angle. <br><br><b>Note: This rating refers to the topspin strokes only.</b> On an underspin chop, the same rubber with a high throw angle will actually produce a very low angle on a chop (it is reversed). This rubber should still be rated as high throw since the rating refers to topspin.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>9+</td><td>Very high</td></tr><tr><td>7 - 9</td><td>High</td></tr><tr><td>5.5 - 7</td><td>Medium-high</td></tr><tr><td>3.5 - 5.5</td><td>Medium</td></tr><tr><td>1.5 - 3.5</td><td>Medium-low</td></tr><tr><td>Under 1.5</td><td>Low</td></tr></table>$	6.3 - Medium-high
Weight	2.3 - Light
Sponge Hardness $<b>Sponge Hardness</b> refers to the density of the sponge. This is measured in degrees:<table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td><td>Degrees</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Hard</td><td>45+ degrees</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Medium Hard</td><td>43-44 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium</td><td>41-42 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Medium Soft</td><td>38-40 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Soft</td><td>under 37 degrees</td></tr></table>$	4.1 - Medium
Gears $<b>Gears</b> refers to a rubber\'s ability to produce a wide range of speeds. A rubber with a wide range of speeds (many gears) can produce slow speeds (on gentle strokes) and high speeds (on hard strokes). With few gears, you may always produce fairly slow balls, or always produce fairly fast balls on lighter and harder strokes.$	7.3 - Above average gears
Durability	6.6 - Lasts longer than average
Consistency	9.0
Overall	9.0 4.5

Description of Stiga Neos Tacky

STIGA breaks the top rubber sheet barrier with new Mega Tension technology. STIGA's Air-Capsule System (ACS) has become a huge success all over the world, with five extremely popular rubber sheets: Magna, Innova Premium, Innova, Innova Ultra Light and Radical. In all these rubber sheets the ACS technology is applied to the sponge and allows for very high speed to be combined with maximum springiness/elasticity in an ultra light rubber with outstanding control. Now STIGA's R&D department has been able to apply the Air-Capsule System to the top sheet. This new cutting edge rubber technology further increases the advantages of the Air-Capsule System, creating an even more responsive rubber sheet with more tension. The results of this new technology - Mega Tension - have so far been amazing! With Mega Tension the "molecule-walls" are thinner than ordinary top sheets. This feat creates more tension without increasing the weight of the rubber, causing quicker rubber recovery. STIGA is proud to introduce NEOS rubber sheets with Mega Tension technology in combination with ACS sponge. NEOS TACKY - Offensive tacky spin. Approximately 10% lighter than a regular rubber sheet.

Excellent Defensive rubber. I'm playing this sport qith him for 2 long years and his perfomance was the same !!

I really like this rubber. It makes defensive play easy and allows you to start controlled counter attacks. I've rated the speed as 6 as it seems fairly average - but I am using 1.8mm sponge so maybe I would have rated the speed higher with a thicker sponge.

My only grumble is that it is very soft and although the playing surface seems to remain in good shape, the part of the rubber where your finger/thumb lies (particularly on backhand) perishes very quickly so it could prove quite expensive for anyone who plays alot.

Very defensive rubber and make also good counterattacks!

Rhonis said this on January 23, 2012:

Playing for a year now with NEOS Tacky. This rubber is perfect for a slow attacker. Brings serieus good controll and makes blocking easy. The rubber could be a bit more spinny and fast on the attacking plays but overall this is a great rubber.

Anonymous said this on February 4, 2012:

Really grippy rubber makes for loaded spin when good contact on loop. Ideal backhand rubber for blockers who like to counter with top spin. Bit slow for out and out forehand offence.

Excellent rubber for a controlled backhand. You can do everything with it, but you need to put a lot of energy in topspins, which makes it quite difficult to attack on underspin balls.

The blocking is phenomenal, you almost don't feel the spin of the opponent, and you can place the ball exactly where you want and at the speed you want

This is good rubber for me. I use it with quite hard woods so I can generate speed by hitting hard. I did not select it for defensive purposes but for developing my topspinning speed.

This rubber weights about the same as LKT Pro XT, but has significantly higher throw angle and much better spin.
Spinwise there is one cheap chinese rubber between these LKT and Stiga rubbers: Kokutaku BLutenkirsche Tokyo Super Tacky. Its slightly hevier than two other rubbers, but its other features are quite near Stiga Neos Tacky.
