Stiga DNA PLATINIUM

Based on the “DNA PLATINIUM” name, and assuming it follows the naming conventions of other table tennis rubber brands, this rubber is likely an inverted (smooth) rubber designed for offensive play. The “DNA” suggests a focus on dynamic performance and modern table tennis techniques, while “PLATINIUM” implies a premium product with enhanced qualities.

Expect the DNA PLATINIUM to prioritize high speed and spin. It likely features a grippy topsheet designed to generate significant rotation on the ball, making it suitable for looping, driving, and aggressive serves. Control might be slightly sacrificed for the enhanced offensive capabilities, requiring a player with good technique and timing to fully utilize its potential. This rubber is probably aimed at offensive players who prefer to attack close to the table or mid-distance, relying on powerful strokes and spin variations to dominate the game. It’s likely designed to excel in topspin rallies and aggressive blocking.

While the exact sponge hardness is unknown without further information, the “PLATINIUM” designation suggests a medium-hard to hard sponge. This would contribute to the rubber’s overall speed and power. It might incorporate special features like a tensioned topsheet for increased catapult effect or a specially formulated sponge for improved energy transfer. The rubber likely aims to provide a crisp feel and direct feedback, allowing players to feel connected to the ball and execute precise shots. It’s possible the rubber incorporates some form of spin-enhancing technology to maximize the rotation generated on the ball.
