Stiga Platinum M

Assuming the “Platinum M” designation hints at a focus on balance and all-around performance, and given the lack of brand information, we can infer the following:

The “Platinum M” rubber is likely an inverted (smooth) rubber designed for all-around play. It probably aims to strike a balance between speed, spin, and control, making it suitable for players who want a versatile rubber that can handle a variety of strokes. Expect a medium-high level of spin generation, allowing for effective serves, loops, and pushes. The speed should be moderate, providing enough power for attacking shots without sacrificing control in defensive situations. Control is likely a key focus, allowing for consistent placement and blocking. This rubber would be a good choice for players who are developing their game and want a rubber that is forgiving and adaptable to different playing styles.

Given the “M” designation, the sponge hardness is likely in the medium range (around 45-48 degrees on the Shore A scale). This provides a good balance between speed and control, allowing for both offensive and defensive play. While specific technologies are unknown due to the lack of branding, it’s possible the rubber incorporates a tensioned topsheet for enhanced spin or a slightly porous sponge for improved ball feel. The overall feel is likely to be relatively soft and comfortable, making it suitable for extended practice sessions. Recommended playing style would be all-round or offensive-minded all-round, focusing on consistency and strategic shot placement.
