Revised because: on this portal the term "tackiness" is defined differently than I have (in the meantime!) learned!!! - accordingly, I gave an "incorrect rating" which may have earned me a "thumbs down". (... you can watch a video, from China, on YouTube!!!) My red rubber (48 degree sponge) weighs only 39 grams at 1.7 mm. (156 x 149 mm) ... but at this thickness it is a little slow and so only suitable for the BH. - but I still really enjoyed it. It is extremely controlled, very spin-friendly and yet insensitive to incoming rotation. ... I would even say that its rotation level is at the top end. AND: the reviews for speed are to low !!! ... and I also find the ball flight curve to be higher than it is generally rated. A good friend of mine, who needs very light material due to a physical limitation, so I let him test my rubber on his blade, on the FH side. He was also impressed, but we both agreed that the thickness should be 1.9 mm. ... so I bought 2 rubbers in black and red with 1,9 mm at the next shop ! :-D) Facts: black rubber, 1.9 mm, 85.2 g. in original packaging, uncut 61.2 g. and cut to 154 x 151 mm only 41 g. Red rubber, 87 g. in original packaging, uncut, 62 g. I play it, glued with solvent-based glue, on my XVT ZL Koto. - as I already wrote, this rubber is perfect for my backhand. On my forehand, I prefer rubbers with a hardness of over 50 degrees, as well as the maximum possible rotation!!! :-P Conclusion: in my opinion, this rubber is truly underrated and has received far too little attention. ... so give him a try! Addendum: this rubber is not sticky and can not hold the ball !!! - but can grab the ball very well to generate a lot of spin. - regarding the weight of rubbers, I repeatedly find that the difference to the next thicker sponge thickness is usually 3 grams (uncut!). ... my black rubber, 2.1 mm thick, weighs 65 g. :-D
