Stiga DNA Dragon Power 55

It took me less than an hour to realize that this rubber was overwhelming me. Just like with the XIOM Jekyll & Hyde C 55.0, I found it very difficult to control the rotation in my opponent’s serves! Returning them was even more difficult with this Stiga. : (In open play, I had the least problems, but when it came to the table and control, I was consistently second! ; -P In my opinion, the Stiga is a bit faster than the Xiom. However, the J & H C 55.0, in my opinion, offers more spin and is more controlled! … It’s also 3 grams lighter. Conclusion: The DNA Dragon Power 55.0 requires a high level of play. — Last, but not least, the facts: black rubber with 2.15 mm, weight 110 g in original packaging. 73.6 g uncut and on my blade with 157×150 mm it weighs 51 g. The sponge is very fine-pored, the topsheet is NOT sticky — it can’t hold the ball!!! … however, it is extremely grippy (tacky) and generates a lot of rotation. For my test, I mounted the rubber on my Sanwei 54 Inner Yellow ALC (with solvent-based glue).

Awesome rubber.

The trick of this rubber is being hard, but very, very effective at spin also. Because it is tacky and its technology is different. Try it, you will not regret.

Excellent service from tt11, cut to 157/150 — 50 grams, very good spin and speed.

Very fast rubber with super spin and control, and it is very easy to play compared with other fast rubbers. I feel (just my feeling) the rubber can fix a little bit of my blade angle error.

Stiga Dragon Power 55 has amazing feeling, a high throw angle, very high control, and very high spin which is easy to generate. Spin on serves is quite high, and short serves have a lot of control due to the high tackiness topsheet. This rubber has very similar tackiness to 09 °C.

I would recommend it for OFF- to OFF+ blades and players who have good technique, as this rubber requires effort to use.
