Putting it on here since there isn't a Stiga section yet.


Setup:
Blade - Andro Blax off
FH rubber - Stiga Optimum MP MAX
I'll try to give it some ratings and post why I gave these ratings. (out of 10)

Topspin: 6,5
I found it hard to generate alot of topspin with this one, this due to very short dwell time, not really that soft sponge with max thickness and the fact that the topsheet is just slightly grippy but nothing compared to most of the other euro/jap rubbers I've played with.
Prepare to use alot of wrist and hard strokes.

Hitting: 7,5
Blazing fast and very accurate but simply lacks on lower speeds.. you can't gently hit it and get a nice short ball with this one.

Smashing: 9,5
Almost perfect, your smashes are not that much affected by the oponents spin do to the only slightly grippy topspin, the sponge has a very nice hardness for hitting and it's just incredibly fast.. I didn't get back much of these.. slap away!

Pushing: 5
Sucks.. hard to get really short ones and hard to put decent spin on them.

Blocking: 8
Great and stable with the only drawback again that it's difficult to get the speed out of the shot but it's possible with some practise alright.

Serving: 6.5
Good for long speedy serves with some sidespin but not nice for short backspin serves or slow topspin ones.

Chopping: 5
Possible but not recommended.

Conclusion: Nice rubber for the all out attacker who loves fast play and smashing and uses hard strokes on loops... if this description doesnt suit you then don't even try or downgrade the thickness (alot).
Also suited for 2nd and 3rd line players.

Thanks a lot Servio! I'll add it to the archives... Normally we would put this in the equipment section and I would add it to the archives.... Of course I've been very slack and the archives are falling a long way behind again
