Customer review for Stiga DNA Platinum XH

External Review for Stiga DNA Platinum XH on September 21, 2024

I really like the sponge hardness on my backhand with Dignics 09C on the forehand on a Fan Zhendong ALC and a DHS Hurricane King (Wang Chuqin's bat). Personally I find it really satisfying to use and even though the sponge hardness is quite high, I don't feel it. I think this is because probably the pimples inside are quite long giving it a softer feeling, and also probably because of the thick sponge of 2.3mm. The feeling has good control with a good touch play to it as well. Compared to Tenergy 05, it is better at touch play, a little bit faster, the the catapult effect isn't as strong. Compared to Dignics 05, it feels slightly harder but not as hard as Dignics 09C. In Butterfly measuring hardness scale, I would rate it a 42-43. Now about the durability, the durability lasts longer than average but not as long as Butterfly rubbers.

The consistency is not bad, but because of the harder sponge, it is slightly harder to get on point, though personally I like harder rubbers on my bat. The tackiness is pretty much non existent but it is still pretty spinny and sticky surprisingly.
