Airoc M

[oksa]

How is airoc M compared to tenergy 80 & andro rasant?

 

[docbrown]

Better than the Rasant by far and pretty equivalent with Tenergy in terms of spin. Speed is a little less then the tenergy but a lot of people I have talked with says that Tenergy is too fast and too expensive. Couldn't agree more.

Airoc is one of the best rubbers ever made.

I am using tenergy today and can only agree with you, too fast and too expensive. And that's the reason why I started this thread. How big is the difference in control between tenergy and airoc? Blocking and pushing?

according to reviewers(i havent used it myself),the airoc requires a good technique for maximum spin.It is not extremely fast,yet it is good enough.It isnt really sensitive to spin,as the topsheet is not tacky.Blocking is very easy to do,both active and passive

 

[Tinykin]

Maybe it's my low level technique but.....

When comparing the two rubbers.....
Airoc M > easy to perform passive block. Loops have decent spin and speed. Good control on pushes/chops. Poor at flicks.
Tenergy 05 > blocking (during match play) needs high skill to be consistent. Brilliant for flicks. Easy to generate loops with high speed and spin. Very high backspin on pushes even off dead incoming balls. Great at chopping with allround blade.

Both Airoc M and Tenergy got very good spin and control, I like them both but as you guys write I also think Tenergy is to expensive in the long run. I now play with Emerald Vps V which work great with Airoc so I think I will stick with this setup for a long while now!

 

[oksa]

Sounds great! I think I will buy one so soon as possible do you guys think it will work good together with stiga infinity vps v?

Thanks for all the answers btw

I have those rubbers on Cpen BH. They are quite similar as RPB but difference become more obvious when use as FH. Tenergy has the best feel and catapult. Rasant Grip is very close with a tad more tensor kick. Airoc is tame in comparison. Nothing bad but nothing outstanding either. It is very similar to RX in many ways.

I actually play with Airoc M and the Infinity vps v right now and it works like a charm together, go for it!

i tested airoc s and liked it since it was not to fast. on my level i prefer better spin before good speed. i try to win by putting the ball on the table

 

[raazzz]

That sounds like a good strategy Flash Gordon!

 

[Flash Gordon]

thanks raazzz. im a bit surprised about the durability of the airoc s. better than i expected.

Yeah I play with Airoc M but and I totally agree, I have been a big fan of Stigas earlier rubbers, especially the Calibra serie but now I must say that Airoc takes the prize. Do you think it works best with the old or the new ball?

im a very novis player and have difficult to feel the exact difference between the polyball and the old ball but i imagine that i get better result in terms of spin with the new ball. what is your opinion?

Hey! I've been trying to find the Airoc vs Bluefire Jp comparison. (without luck). I see some tenergy/andro comperances here but.. would really like one for bluefire jp. (as I've only tried Tenergy 80 out of those and have not used it alot)
Have anyone tried both and could do a comperance review? (Airoc M vs Jp 01/01-Turbo and/or 03?) (Spin, Speed, Throw, Ease of Use, sensitivity to incoming spin comperance, etc?). Definitely keeping jp 03 on my bh, this is a matter of whether or not I should swap my jp 01-turbo on fh, with Airoc M.

I dont think there will bo much differences in blocking and pushing as long as you know the technique I think the Airoc is a bit les bouny than Tenergys which makies it a bit slower and more controllable but the trajectory of the rubbers is very different, I would rather compare the Airoc M to Tenergy 64 then the 05.
