XP Pro (LKT)

Characteristics:

• Next generation of rubber formulation.
• Superior mechanical grip.
• Thin top sheet with unique under pip structure.
• Fitted for mid distance loop and counter drive attack.
• Special XP sponge designed to enhance performance.
• Rubber weight is very light.

PRO XP is a great choice for players who want the ability to perform effectively off the table. This is not a typical Chinese rubber; the top sheet is supple and very thin. PRO XP has an extremely elastic under pip structure that will allow the rubber ample time to load spin prior to release.

gomma non di eccessiva velocita' medio moebida toopshet appiccicoso dunque buon controllo, buona dalla media distanza, ma anche da vicino. mi aspettavo piu' spin.

[English translation by Google: Rubber does not drive too fast, average moebida topsheet sticky so good control, good distance from the average, but close. I expected more spin.]

XP pro is a very spinny rubber sheet with a very elastic sponge. The most noticeable aspect is the pretty high throw angle with lots of spin.

i found this rubber very good for counterlooping and looping high spin high arc shots. it is very spinny, and the ball just seems to sink into the sponge and rubber, making very elastic shots. furthermore, the control is pretty good, allowing for deadly loops that you can place very well.

It is kind of hard to block with the rubber, because the tackiness causes it to counter top spin. this rubber is very good for dealing with underspin though, since it is very tacky with good control, allowing for ease when countering underspin.

this is one rubber that is worth trying its not a speed demon but with proper technique it can provide sufficient speed and spin im currently using it in my backhand in all of my set up and im pretty much happy about it what i like most is it decreases the weight of my racket to a more manageable level btw im using it on my schaleger carbon which is quite heavy.this rubber is at it best near the table whether you flick smash or spin this will perporm well chopping and short game is also easy with this rubber.on blocking this is where it really shine before i use to do mostly passive blocks now with xp agressive puncblocks are easy to do and you can place the ball anywhere you want due to its high control mind you with blinding speed also . tis is a good buy definitely

It´s a light weight topspin sheet with good speed-glue-effect. Very well suited for close to table ALL game who like to trick with the serves! You can easily vary the spin produced with the wrist from heavy to none. Just a step away from the table you might find it hard to return, but on the other hand the feel over the table is just fine! So why the hack leaving the table? ;-) I personally miss a little speed since I´m used to jap-style sheets but this one is definitely one of the spinniest alternatives for ALL+ players preferring forehand attacks with controlled backhand game. Due to the ban of glueing I will try the DIQ soon and let you know.
