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	8.1
Spin $<b>Spin</b> is the amount of ball rotation generated by the rubber. This is affected by the rubber\'s tackiness, sponge thickness, sponge hardness as well as the blade\'s flexibility.$	8.9
Control	8.4
Tackiness $<b>Tackiness</b> refers to the level of stickiness of the rubber surface. Traditional Chinese rubbers are usually tacky enough to lift a ball off the table by pressing the rubber on top of the ball, whereas traditional European and Japanese rubbers do not.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Very tacky</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Tacky</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium tacky</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Slightly tacky</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Completely non-tacky</td></tr></table>$	0.0 - Completely non-tacky
Throw Angle $<b>Throw Angle</b> is the angle that the ball is projected from strokes like the loop. Assuming the loop stroke is the same, a high throw angle will lift the ball higher. Tacky rubbers often have a higher throw angle.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>9+</td><td>Very high</td></tr><tr><td>7 - 9</td><td>High</td></tr><tr><td>5.5 - 7</td><td>Medium-high</td></tr><tr><td>3.5 - 5.5</td><td>Medium</td></tr><tr><td>1.5 - 3.5</td><td>Medium-low</td></tr><tr><td>Under 1.5</td><td>Low</td></tr></table>$	7.5 - High
Weight	2.5 - Light
Sponge Hardness $<b>Sponge Hardness</b> refers to the density of the sponge. This is measured in degrees:<table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td><td>Degrees</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Hard</td><td>45+ degrees</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Medium Hard</td><td>43-44 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium</td><td>41-42 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Medium Soft</td><td>38-40 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Soft</td><td>under 37 degrees</td></tr></table>$	0.0 - Soft
Gears $<b>Gears</b> refers to a rubber\'s ability to produce a wide range of speeds. A rubber with a wide range of speeds (many gears) can produce slow speeds (on gentle strokes) and high speeds (on hard strokes). With few gears, you may always produce fairly slow balls, or always produce fairly fast balls on lighter and harder strokes.$	10.0 - Many gears
Durability	3.8 - Not very durable
Consistency	10.0
Overall	8.7

ponge Hardness: 40

DOUBLE-FACED HYBRID RUBBER POWERED BY TENSOR. DOUBLE-FACED HYBRID RUBBER POWERED BY TENSOR.
A very special pimples-in rubber developed for modern hybrid/defensive players. TENSOR technology also created new paradigm for hybrid rubbers. Modern hybrid players should effectively combine cut defense and topspin attack. YANUS DF has extremely soft top sheet and sponge to provide extra control advantage. Stability and precision at cut defense are improved far over classic sticky defensive rubbers. On the contrary, the very high level of speed glue effect has been permanently incorporated in YANUS DF to make aggressive topspin attacks. YANUS DF can add the advantage of unexpected topspin attack without a help of speed glue to leverage your defensive game.

A great hybrid rubber, attacks well and clicks like there's no tomorrow. Great control on chops and near the table pushes.

The only con I can see is it's durability, chips easily as all 3G tensors

To give some context, my previous favorite rubbers were Donic Vario Big Slam and Andro Plasma 380. I like them because it was easy to get good control, but my coach said there wasn't as much bite in my attacking shots as he would like. So I tried this Yanus and my coach was impressed with the power of my topspin, and I felt more than happy with the control. I don't know about advanced players or super-attacking players, but for an advanced beginner like me I think this is great.

Soft and spiny, excellent for off and over the table chopping good for looping. Best rubber I have played with for modern defensive player, for medium to high level. Because it is soft it has high catapult effect some players do not like this but makes for a safe return Even number 91 woman in the world liked it BTW. It is a bit easy to chip the edge but sheets last one year of heavy play.

Advantages starts form serving even soft chops are very effective. Can easily change the gear with or without spin.Smashing the ball with a basic wrist movement is possible. Next generation could be a little bit harder.
