Stiga Almana

Rubber description:

Stiga Almana is a high-speed, non-tacky offensive rubber designed for aggressive attackers. It is characterized by significant power and a low throw angle, making it well-suited for fast carbon or offensive blades. Despite its focus on speed, it maintains a consistent level of performance over long-term use and offers notable durability for frequent players.

Playing Characteristics

  • Speed and Spin: The rubber generates high speed and surprising spin potential, even without a tacky surface. It rewards players who possess their own technique and control.
  • Dwell Time and Control: While the rubber provides excellent speed, it requires a developed skill set to manage its lower inherent control. It is effective for aggressive backhand rallies and performs surprisingly well during passive blocking.
  • Suitability: This is not intended for beginners or defensive playstyles such as chopping. It is highly recommended for offensive-minded players looking for a reliable, fast, and durable weapon for their forehand or backhand.

I have been using this rubber for three months, and it is the best forehand rubber I have ever used.

The spin and control are amazing, and despite the fact that the rubber surface does not have much tack, it produces more spin than I imagined.

I highly recommend this rubber.

It’s fast, but if control is in your hands and you don’t get it from a rubber, this one will reward you. I got mine teared at the center. That’s my bad…

Using Almana Maxon on my c-pen Stiga Hybrid Wood, it works very well. I find it very similar to Stiga Carbo Sound, only a tad faster due to its harder sponge. It is worth the money, and I highly recommend Stiga Almana.
