Durability of Stiga Mantra M ???

[Hustler37]

How is your experiences about the durability of Stiga Mantra M ???
For how long time has it spin and speed like it was new???

Mine is red i max, feels used and seems to have lost lots of spin. Used it for about 3 month now. 3 times weekly trainings between 2-4 hours at time. Tournaments also some times

That sounds about right for durability for any rubber

Only 3 month for durability of a rubber. is that normal???

If my maths are correct, you are playing about 9 hrs per week for 12 weeks plus tournaments. That is very acceptable for any rubber. In fact, if you are a serious player you should have changed that rubber before 2 months were up.

3 months is ok enough if you always play. Some even would change at almost 2 months. Degeneration starts a month after repeated usage.

Mantra S (same top sheet as M) is more durable than rasanter V42 on the same blade for me.

Have ordered Mantra Hard instead of medium.
Exited how it Feels contra the medium

Unfortunately yes. The days of 1+ year with the same rubber are long gone -_-

as for the mantra m, I’d say between 60 and 90 hours of play. I have two rackets that I use alternatively (in order to keep them both in a similar state at all times and allow for an almost perfect spare in case of accident) and I change the roughly rubbers twice a year (3x2 hours a week + comps)

Maybe I should have in mind, that i should chance my fh rubber every half year then.
Thinking my sh pips on bh could last way longer
