Stiga Magna TC II (2)

This is far better than the reviews. However, that’s just my opinion…

Excellent control and speed! I use this rubber on my Spinlord Ultra Carbon DEF for the forehand. For the backhand, I prefer to use long pips.

This rubber excels in all aspects. However, do not solely rely on the ratings provided here!

Don’t trust the ratings of this rubber. It is a great rubber and is completely underrated.

This rubber has received surprisingly low ratings. Many top players in Sweden rely on its speed and spin. It truly is an excellent choice for competitive play!

I use this rubber for my backhand. It is excellent for low and fast topspin.

However, blocking with it can be a bit challenging to control.

Most importantly, it is really light, which adds to its appeal.

I have red 2.2mm rubber on a stiff offensive blade, which is excellent for forehand shots, especially with well-developed strokes. It provides intimidating spin, similar to the T05 and LKT RD rubbers. The rubber has a medium-high throw and good gear control.

Additionally, I placed a 2.0mm black rubber on my Joola Balsa blade. This combination works well for the backhand, offering superior control and a low throw. The speed is impressive, making it highly recommended for hitting and smashing styles.

I have tested this rubber with the LKD ZEBRA wood. It features a coal black color and has a thickness of 2.2 mm. The rubber provides excellent grip, good spin, impressive speed, and satisfactory control, especially for direct shots. Although it can also be used for backhand strokes, it tends to be noisy when striking the ball, though not as loud as the Great TS.

In comparison to the TS, this rubber is firmer and offers a different feel, resulting in less spin than the TC rubber. For the quality-to-price ratio, this rubber is quite favorable. It is similar to, yet more affordable than, other options available, particularly Chinese brands like Friendship 729 and Globe 999, as well as Reactor and Galaxy. However, I have not tried Pallium yet.

This rubber is remarkably consistent and serves as a reliable blocking machine. It is not overly reactive to incoming spin, featuring a medium throw. It excels in receiving, allowing players to handle even the spinniest attacking opponents without losing control during rallies.

However, while it may not be exceptional for spin serves, I would rate it as having excellent control. This rubber will be a valuable weapon for controlled attacking topspin players, enabling accurate ball placement.
