The tackiness seems the same as any other ESN tacky rubber. Compared to Joola Golden Tango PS, the Tibhar seemed slightly more flexible when handling the rubber before glueing. They both measured exactly the same hardness at 50° Shore O. The Joola would probably be slightly lighter at the same...

I would like to know how they accounted for players that use two different brand rubbers. e.g. DHS on the forehand and Butterfly on the backhand The total percentages add up to 100% .............

I measured Genesis II M at 49° on the Shore O scale. The only H3N I had to compare it with was a used sheet of H3Neo provincial 37° orange sponge, which had had one layer of Falco Long Temp when it was new. This measured very slightly softer at approx 47 or 48°, but if anything the Genesis II...

I would say that the Tenergy sponge is closer to rubbers that are labeled as 47.5 on the ESN scale, or at least the couple that I have tried have been. Mantra M is not that far off to Tenergy hardness, but definitely on the softer side. Medium as opposed to medium/hard maybe?

I've used Nexy Karis M, Stiga Mantra M and S and TSP Regalis Red. They are all similar, made by Daiki in Japan for the various manufacturers. The Stiga Mantra is my favorite, it just seems a tiny bit better than the TSP in almost every respect and is also a little lighter. The 'M' version is...

I have a second blade the same as my main one, however this will often end up with at least one of the rubbers being different to my main set up due to trying something out, but still much better than having to borrow a completely unfamiliar bat.

I've tried one. If I remember correctly it was really well made, had a nice, slightly soft feel, reasonably fast - probably just into OFF, was a bit head heavy due to being quite a light blade with a slightly oversize head and had a very small/thin handle, which was the reason I didn't stick...

I have borrowed a Shore O scale durometer. I believe this is the scale that ESN rubbers use, although there seems to be some debate about this. Anyway as I suspected both the Genesis II M and S sheets that I have gave exactly the same reading which was 49°. For comparison the reading I got for...

4 out of 5 rating for Genesis II M I decided to try Stiga Genesis II as I am a fan of hybrid type rubbers and normally use DHS Skyline 3-60, but have had a couple of sheets with quality issues recently so am looking for an alternative. Reading Stigas description: "It's a powerful synthesis of...

I prefer softer rubbers on my backhand, so this wouldn't work for me, but it seems perfectly fine for blocking on my forehand. I haven't tried the original Genesis, but I would say that Genesis II is a hybrid type rubber leaning towards a Chinese type, similar to something like Yasaka Rising...

I've just purchased one each of Genesis II 2.0mm in soft and medium. I've only tried the medium for a couple of hours, but my initial impressions are positive. Slightly tacky, faster than most Chinese style rubbers but still with good control. Quality looks good. I was previously using Skyline...
