I bought this rubber to be paired with a long pimpled rubber on a defensive blade, as it provided good value for money and I bought it at 1.5 mm thickness so as to allow me to try the 'modern defensive' style of play. It allows for some decent spinny shots but lacks the sting of some spinnier, faster rubbers. It does however allow me to chop from both wings whilst still being able to attack, and a thicker version would provide a good alternative to a Sriver or Mark V rubber to someone looking for something slightly different.

stiga mendo energy rubber is a softer, spinnier, sloewr version of stiga mendo mp. it is still an offensive type rubber, but its for the players that do not need as much spin.

this is a speed gluing rubber, so all this is for use with a carbon glue.

so the speed is not much less, but it is noticeable. you will not feel as much explosiveness. the speed is really good though. this makes this rubber great for high spin high arc loops. its also softer, so the control is better. overall, the rubber allows players to take control of the game more than outhit their opponent. if mendo mp is too fast for you, try this out!
