The Xiom Musa rubber was not suit me well. It was too slow for FH and too fast for BH, and the amount of spin was not as big as I expected.
Two undoubted advantages of this rubber are: a high level of control and great durability.
To sum up, my rating for Xiom Musa (in scale 1 to 10) is:
Speed = 8,5
Spin = 7,5
Control = 8,6

Reviews of XIOM Musa I (14)
Only for beginners to learn the proper strokes as it is not that fast and not that spinny. Forgiveness and ease-of-use aside, it does nothing well. I'd heard it was good for chopping, but it wasn't because the spin was so low compared to other slower/deader rubbers (Marder, Tackiness Chop, etc.). A cadet at my club uses it and plays well, but I'd go as far to suggest that that is now in spite of the rubber as because of it. Spend money elsewhere. (Just to note that I love Xiom products in general, but I just can't see the point of this other than as a cheapish introductory rubber, and even then there would be better ones.)
This is a great product at a great price. This would be the rubber that I would recommend to a beginner. But don't be fooled, you can play well with this rubber until intermed level. From this the next step would be a Xiom Intro (introduction to tensors) and from there the Xiom Vega Pro (X). I think if you are serious about competing, you learn the basic strokes with a simple rubber (that has good spin) like this one. Don't start with a tensor right away.
I use it in the backhand because I find it easy to control, and as a left-handed I use a lot my backhand, not recommended if you're looking for speed I don't consider this rubber as an offensive option, more like an offensive all-rounder
Tested in black, 1.5mm: Very soft. Not suitable for hard hitters in this thickness, difficult to find consistency. Hitting softly, playing consistent shots is much easier. Control and placement at low gears is great, and spin is better than the term "non-tensor" would suggest. Nothing exceptional, mind you. Good first rubber since easy to use. Enjoy your TT!
