Speed	/
Spin	/
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	8.7
Spin $<b>Spin</b> is the amount of ball rotation generated by the rubber. This is affected by the rubber\'s tackiness, sponge thickness, sponge hardness as well as the blade\'s flexibility.$	8.5
Control	8.4
Tackiness $<b>Tackiness</b> refers to the level of stickiness of the rubber surface. Traditional Chinese rubbers are usually tacky enough to lift a ball off the table by pressing the rubber on top of the ball, whereas traditional European and Japanese rubbers do not.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Very tacky</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Tacky</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium tacky</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Slightly tacky</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Completely non-tacky</td></tr></table>$	0.8 - Completely non-tacky
Throw Angle $<b>Throw Angle</b> is the angle that the ball is projected from strokes like the loop. For a topspin loop, a high throw angle will lift the ball higher. Tacky rubbers often have a higher throw angle. <br><br><b>Note: This rating refers to the topspin strokes only.</b> On an underspin chop, the same rubber with a high throw angle will actually produce a very low angle on a chop (it is reversed). This rubber should still be rated as high throw since the rating refers to topspin.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>9+</td><td>Very high</td></tr><tr><td>7 - 9</td><td>High</td></tr><tr><td>5.5 - 7</td><td>Medium-high</td></tr><tr><td>3.5 - 5.5</td><td>Medium</td></tr><tr><td>1.5 - 3.5</td><td>Medium-low</td></tr><tr><td>Under 1.5</td><td>Low</td></tr></table>$	5.6 - Medium-high
Weight	1.1 - Light
Sponge Hardness $<b>Sponge Hardness</b> refers to the density of the sponge. This is measured in degrees:<table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td><td>Degrees</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Hard</td><td>45+ degrees</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Medium Hard</td><td>43-44 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium</td><td>41-42 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Medium Soft</td><td>38-40 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Soft</td><td>under 37 degrees</td></tr></table>$	0.6 - Soft
Gears $<b>Gears</b> refers to a rubber\'s ability to produce a wide range of speeds. A rubber with a wide range of speeds (many gears) can produce slow speeds (on gentle strokes) and high speeds (on hard strokes). With few gears, you may always produce fairly slow balls, or always produce fairly fast balls on lighter and harder strokes.$	6.7 - Above average gears
Durability	4.5 - Average durability
Consistency	8.1
Overall	8.6 4.3

If you are all rounded player you looking for some control but you also want a lot of speed and spin I think this rubber totally worth the money.

I like this rubber for the forehand. The soft sponge allows you to really dig up incoming backspin which makes it a nice rubber to loop back serves. The only downside is bottoming it out (which happens occasionally during counter-looping rallies).

great rubber,fast with good spin and very,very controlable.Dwell time is very high,especialy with medium hardness blades like Butterfly primorac and korbel.Loop backspin is a nightmare.I recommend this rubber for BH because it has high throw.I have this rubber on primorac off- almost 6 months and it is still good

Jeremy said this on November 25, 2009:

For me this rubber made a pretty good fh rubber, though I intended for it to be bh. The sponge is extremely soft, making it high in dwell time and easy to control, but also makes it nearly impossible to impart topspin unless the rally is going fast enough to allow the ball to dig into the sponge. Hence, flipping a serve has low probability. Also, for me, pushing with a short quick stroke made the ball unpredictable- where normally the ball would stay low and spin, the Nimbus Sound tended to make the ball pop up for an easy opponent smash.

An Excellent!! forehand rubber very easy to use and very good, but it does not last at all, expecially the playng surface loses its "new feeling" very quickly. Chips and breaks very easily.
I am going to try the Sinus Sound which looks like a similar rubber, hopefully it lasts longer

Good speed,spin is okay and the control is excellent. . .have some trouble picking up chop balls. . . prefer it on my backhand

Roby said this on September 28, 2011:

I have tried this rubber on Timo ALL blade, excellent rubber. Blocking and controll great, spinny when needed. For my game-type realy good. Of course, it is not explosive offensive rubber... So who needs this... no way...

Okay with this rubber. The topsheet and the sponge are not very soft, but it feels soft. It creates good speed and spin.
