Customer review for Stiga Mantra Sound

External Review for Stiga Mantra Sound on February 26, 2024

Quite grippy topsheet. Bright red sponge. This is a Daiki-made rubber (Japanese rubber factory). Doesn't feel like an ESN-made (German) rubber of the same sponge hardness (42 degree). Feels a bit firmer than the 42 degree ESN rubbers that I've tried. It also feels more linear than that, and may have even more gears. I prefer how it feels on flexible blades. Stiffer blades don't seem to add the throw that I prefer. On flexible blades the "tension" is in the wood - when you engage that, the rubber really throws the ball harder (longer too). Quite like a traditional Japanese rubber.
