Air TigerS, High Speed, Good Spin, Great Speed, 47 degree

A fairly fast rubber. Not as fast as something like Tibhar MX-P, but definitely not slow. Due to the tacky topsheet, you can get a lot of spin. The tack can pull the ball over the net on nearly vertical strokes unlike purely grippy rubbers, which require you to move forward. The rubber is very controllable; it is great for blocking. The tack really helps the ball not shoot off the springy sponge on touch shots. The rubber is fairly tacky. If you press the rubber on the ball for 10 seconds it can hold the ball for about 3. I think it has just the right amount of tack; it is enough to hold the ball on touch shots, but not so much that it slows down the ball on loops and drives. The rubber is a pretty standard weight. It’s certainly not light though. The sponge is 47 degrees, but I find that it plays softly. The throw angle is fairly high; I’d say higher than most other Air rubbers. It’s great for BH blocking due to the high throw angle.

These New Generation Rubbers from Air are the Best Ive seen to date. Tacky, but still quite fast. Faster Than Hurricane 3
