Speed	18.5 /
Spin	18.5 /

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	7.7
Spin $<b>Spin</b> is the amount of ball rotation generated by the rubber. This is affected by the rubber\'s tackiness, sponge thickness, sponge hardness as well as the blade\'s flexibility.$	8.0
Control	7.3
Tackiness $<b>Tackiness</b> refers to the level of stickiness of the rubber surface. Traditional Chinese rubbers are usually tacky enough to lift a ball off the table by pressing the rubber on top of the ball, whereas traditional European and Japanese rubbers do not.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Very tacky</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Tacky</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium tacky</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Slightly tacky</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Completely non-tacky</td></tr></table>$	3.0 - Slightly tacky
Throw Angle $<b>Throw Angle</b> is the angle that the ball is projected from strokes like the loop. Assuming the loop stroke is the same, a high throw angle will lift the ball higher. Tacky rubbers often have a higher throw angle.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>9+</td><td>Very high</td></tr><tr><td>7 - 9</td><td>High</td></tr><tr><td>5.5 - 7</td><td>Medium-high</td></tr><tr><td>3.5 - 5.5</td><td>Medium</td></tr><tr><td>1.5 - 3.5</td><td>Medium-low</td></tr><tr><td>Under 1.5</td><td>Low</td></tr></table>$	5.6 - Medium-high
Weight	4.5 - Average
Sponge Hardness $<b>Sponge Hardness</b> refers to the density of the sponge. This is measured in degrees:<table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td><td>Degrees</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Hard</td><td>45+ degrees</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Medium Hard</td><td>43-44 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium</td><td>41-42 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Medium Soft</td><td>38-40 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Soft</td><td>under 37 degrees</td></tr></table>$	3.0 - Medium-soft
Gears $<b>Gears</b> refers to a rubber\'s ability to produce a wide range of speeds. A rubber with a wide range of speeds (many gears) can produce slow speeds (on gentle strokes) and high speeds (on hard strokes). With few gears, you may always produce fairly slow balls, or always produce fairly fast balls on lighter and harder strokes.$	7.0 - Above average gears
Durability	8.0 - Lasts longer than average
Consistency	5.0
Overall	6.9 3.5

Description of Yasaka Zap Biotech 36-38

After "fill-up the air" with speed glue, ZAP will show you a special characteristic-"quick-killing".
Especially for the fast-attack players, ZAP makes your dream come true

Compared to "Sriver-fx":
Faster, but not much.
More spin.
Same control.
Less elasticity.
Medium-soft" sponge.
Normal-Heavy weight.
medium throw
It looks cheap, wich it is.
Slightly tacky just like "Sriver-fx".
A lot more grip. I Know a guy who have a 3 year old "Zap", and it's still grippy. "Sriver-fx" And "Sriver-el" is not very durable. the grib is gone after a season (2-3 hours training a week). But that was 4 years ago, so I don't know if it's more durable now. Have never tried a normal "Sriver".
This "Zap" version is the same as the "Zap-36-38".
I love the "Sriver-fx", but I like this a lot more.
I use it for backhand on a "Avalox Blue thunder 555" It works very well for my quick-killing backhand, and for placing underspin returns near the edge on the opponents non-serve-site of the table.
I'ts not to fast, not to slow, not to soft, not to hard, not to low and not high. i'ts actually have a perfect balance for me.
Not a bad rubber at all.

I tried to use this to learn backhand rubber. He said the rubber is very good for building patterns in the backhand.
