From manufacturer:

Speed	/
Spin	/
Tensor $<b>Tensor Rubber</b> - Tensor rubbers have a pre-tensioned rubber topsheet, already pulled tighter so it has some built in catapult effect to increase speed and spin. Normal rubbers don\'t have extra tension.$	No

From community:

Speed	8.9
Spin $<b>Spin</b> is the amount of ball rotation generated by the rubber. This is affected by the rubber\'s tackiness, sponge thickness, sponge hardness as well as the blade\'s flexibility.$	9.1
Control	8.4
Tackiness $<b>Tackiness</b> refers to the level of stickiness of the rubber surface. Traditional Chinese rubbers are usually tacky enough to lift a ball off the table by pressing the rubber on top of the ball, whereas traditional European and Japanese rubbers do not.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Very tacky</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Tacky</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium tacky</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Slightly tacky</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Completely non-tacky</td></tr></table>$	3.1 - Slightly tacky
Throw Angle $<b>Throw Angle</b> is the angle that the ball is projected from strokes like the loop. Assuming the loop stroke is the same, a high throw angle will lift the ball higher. Tacky rubbers often have a higher throw angle.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>9+</td><td>Very high</td></tr><tr><td>7 - 9</td><td>High</td></tr><tr><td>5.5 - 7</td><td>Medium-high</td></tr><tr><td>3.5 - 5.5</td><td>Medium</td></tr><tr><td>1.5 - 3.5</td><td>Medium-low</td></tr><tr><td>Under 1.5</td><td>Low</td></tr></table>$	2.3 - Medium-low
Weight	3.7 - Average
Sponge Hardness $<b>Sponge Hardness</b> refers to the density of the sponge. This is measured in degrees:<table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td><td>Degrees</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Hard</td><td>45+ degrees</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Medium Hard</td><td>43-44 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium</td><td>41-42 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Medium Soft</td><td>38-40 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Soft</td><td>under 37 degrees</td></tr></table>$	4.0 - Medium-soft
Gears $<b>Gears</b> refers to a rubber\'s ability to produce a wide range of speeds. A rubber with a wide range of speeds (many gears) can produce slow speeds (on gentle strokes) and high speeds (on hard strokes). With few gears, you may always produce fairly slow balls, or always produce fairly fast balls on lighter and harder strokes.$	7.9 - Many gears
Durability	7.0 - Lasts longer than average
Consistency	10.0
Overall	8.3 4.2

Description of Yasaka V Stage

Every shot aimed at Glory, Super Performance rubber - Yasaka V Stage
For players searching for powerful spin and speed, V-Stage takes the lead. V-Stage is produced by simultaneously vulcanising high friction coefficient rubber to improve spring and high elasticity. This product stretches the natural rubber to their very limits. Compared to existing rubber sheets it demonstrates a 13% improvement in spin and 18% in speed.

Reviews of the Yasaka V Stage

Completely non-tacky, medium hardness rubber, relatively fast, easy to generate mechanical spin and vary spin depending on stroke. Very good for bh, excellent for blocking and pushing, also pretty good for topspin, average for smashing. Very good quality and consistency. Long lasting as well, without losing its consistency.

It is the best rubber for power looper..
You can loop the ball in the lowest accuracy with a huge of speed and spin..
If u glued it well, i find its better than bryce...
U can try it yourself..^^

Bought a Timo Boll ZLC Blade and put BFY Tenergy 05 on FH and BFY Tackifire C on BH. Found the Tackfire C too slow - although a great quality rubber with excellent chop/push control. My other bat is a Stiga CarboKev with Yasaka Rakza 7 on FH and V-Stage on BH. Both great rubbers however I'm going to swap the Tackifire C on the ZLC with the V-Stage. In summary the Tenergy 05 is faster than Rakza 7 (and offers only slightly more speed and feel) and the V-Stage is certainly faster than Tackfire C (which I want for my BH).

Me Again. Have been using this rubber for about 1 month now on my BH. I did put the V Stage (max) on my BFY ZLC, replacing the Tackifire C...and WOW I'm lovin this. Outstanding for close blocks and topspin. Great for medium away from the table hitting. Had to adjust throw angle as I was over hitting (a good thing, better than them going into the net!). Anyway great spin, speed and surprisingly more control than I though I would get. A great rubber, certainly for my BH.

Very fast rubber with low throw angle. If you got used to the spring sponges or tensors, u might find it difficult as this does not have the catapult effect. But that does not mean its slow. Faster than most tensors and power sponge rubbers. great for loop drive, loop or chop. very hard for the opponent to block it and the smashes are the best. though only very slightly grippy, i fu can work through the sponge u can generate enormous amounts of spin like tacky rubbers. One of the best out there, but needs an experienced person to control.

A great all around rubber, incredibly light. Amazing topspin and backspin. But may suffer from speed against the likes of fast bats, such as coppa gold. I would reccomend this rubber to everybody, its the best rubber i have ever had!
