Stiga Airoc S

When new: The rubber is fast with a very low throw, average control.

After a few months: The sponge shrinks (mine while still being glued to the blade), The speed decreased a little, but the throwing angle improved a bit and the increase in control is noticeable.

the grip is remarkable in the first 6 months, after that it becomes hard to play with it, quick wrist movements no longer generate spin so you have to make full swings to do so.

It has a very short life, you probably have to boost is you want to keep using it, after all is a very expensibe rubber.

6.5/10

I've bought this rubber for my FH to test. Very similar to Tour series. To be honest, I hated on my FH in means of spin. Totally frustrated. I couldn't hold more than 2 weeks, switched to Tenergy 05 and took a deep breath. This rubber is very disappointing in means of spin.

If you play in mid/far range, you notice the strength-power-more spin of the rubber and If you play all-a-around, you can enjoy with this rubber. BUT...
If you are more close/mid range player, this rubber is not for you.

Using this rubber atm in combination with the Stiga Rosewood VII blade. First thing i noticed with this rubber is that it is definitely more suited to use with the new poly ball than the old celluloid ball, although obviously with the rule changes coming into effect from July i can only see this as a positive thing, as STIGA have clearly designed this rubber series with the new balls in mind.

The main thing for me was that when playing attacking shots, as i have also found with a large variety of STIGA rubbers, the trajectory on the ball is very flat compared to some other brands, and this left me feeling there is little margin for error, and as a player whos style is generally to play with high quantities of spin i found it didnt allow me the trajectory i need to play to my strengths, something which i did find with the STIGA boost series of rubbers and Tibhar evolution. However, positives of this rubber were that it was easy to control and also durable, having used it for 3 months without having to change.

I will probably persevere with this rubber through to next season to see how my results fair with the new ball. 7/10
