Product information
Stiga Genesis 2 S
Weight: 68 grams uncut
Speed: OFF-
Spin: Very high
This is a pure Chinese rubber and not a hybrid rubber as some people mistakenly describe it. It has both Chinese topsheet and sponge made by the same Chinese company. It has hybrid playing characterstics but it does not have a combination of sponge. The quality is higher and better compared to other Chinese rubbers in the market hence, this is a bit higher priced. The topsheet is tacky but not as tacky as Hurricane 3. This favors the playing style of players who tend to hit more through the sponge rather than thinly brushing the ball with mostly the topsheet. This can also be done with the Genesis 2 S but it is better if you have sponge compression since you can maximize the use of the rubber this way. You can get a huge amount of spin if you brush and at the same time compress the sponge which is what other players call "European" style of hitting the ball. This is a good rubber close to the table only unless you use very fast blades such as Carbonado 290 or Dynasty then probably you can extend up to middle distance. I could even suggest this to beginners as long as they use the 1.9mm-2.0mm thickness on an ALL Around blade.
