Table Tennis Rubber: Stiga Mantra Pro M Rubber

47-degree sponge hardness provides more feeling and control in every stroke
Mantra Pro M = Medium – The perfect balance between speed and control
A fast rubber with a unique geometry for offensive players
Long-term durability due to the special combination of natural and synthetic rubber
Oxygen Capsule System technology provides increased speed through steady, even strokes
Developed in collaboration with leading Chinese players and Japanese precision
Made in Japan, designed in Sweden

Mantra Pro M has a unique geometry that has been specially developed for the aggressive player, who seeks a lot of power and spin. The rubber is adapted to suit a wide range of table tennis players and playing styles, from young talents to professional players who expect a world-class rubber of uncompromising quality. Suitable for players with a modern, offensive style, the Mantra Pro M is engineered with Japanese precision and distinction. It has also been designed and tested in collaboration with leading Chinese players. The result: a table tennis rubber for players who are keen to attack, play with a lot of power and seek a rubber that delivers in line with their expectations. The table tennis rubber is also equipped with OCS (Oxygen Capsule System) technology that, thanks to the enlarged sponge pores, generates a higher arc and catapult effect during loop play. It also contributes to a crisp, clear sound and more feeling in every stroke, as the contact between the rubber and the blade has been reinforced. Mantra Pro M has a medium hard, 47-degree sponge, which offers players the perfect balance of speed and control, either through safe play with a lot of spin or offensively, where duels are finished on the third ball. The rubber is also optimised for the ABS ball, and thanks to the special combination of natural and synthetic rubber, it is considerably more durable than previous generations of table tennis rubbers.

Advice service

If you would like to discuss the effect and performance of any specific blade or rubber you can rely on our judgement and advice. You can also be confident that whatever we recommend represents the best. We are only at the other end of the telephone.

Rubber care

Inverted rubber needs regular cleaning and protection from light, particularly UV light, also humidity and extreme temperatures.

Thickness

The types and thickness of sponge are specifically designed for different types of games and their selection is an important factor. The sponge thickness ranges from O.5mm to 2.5mm. Speed and spin increases with the thickness of the sponge, but the control decreases.

Sponge thicknesses of 1.9mm – 2.5mm require increased training to maintain good control. Soft sponge enhances control and helps increase spin. 1.1 – 1.3mm for defensive (DEF) to passively all-round players (ALL-). 1.5 – 1.7mm for actively all-round players (ALL/ALL+) 1.9 – 2.1mm – max for offensive players with all variations of speed and spin (OFF-, OFF, OFF+).

Speed Glue

The effect of speed glue is to increase both spin and speed without losing too much control. When using glue it is important to use a blade sealant (varnish) to protect it from splintering and prevent the glue seeping into the blade. The glue is applied to both blade and sponge before play, with at least two coats on the sponge, more coats can be applied, but this is an individual choice. The more coats applied, the higher the performance. The effect of the glue is to expand the sponge increasing its elasticity but reducing control.

Pimples

ANTI SPIN Pimple in rubber.

The playing surface has very little grip and is very slow with little or no elasticity in the sponge – e.g. Toni Hold (Austria) this is used as a combination rubber with a disruptive effect when playing away from the table and is less effective when blocking or counter hitting. The classic anti spin characteristics are little or no sponge, elasticity, energy absorbent sponge producing minimum amount of spin. However such as Stiga Energy Absorber have faster sponges causing problems to opponents

MEDIUM PIMPLE

Pimples 1 .2mm – 1 .6mm long. Less of a threat and not so training intensive as long pimples. The disruptive effect is relatively small. Gives good control with a low trajectory return, but with minimum spin.

LONG PIMPLES

These are suitable for defensive and allround players. The long pimples are between 1.6mm and 1.8mm. in length and can be with or without sponge. The thin flexible pimples are the most effective, but are inclined to break off if they are not played face on! The pimples will give unpredictable playing qualities. These will be dependent to a great extent upon the amount of spin and speed on the ball received and also on the angle of the bat when playing the ball. The effect will produce an unpredictable return with irregular flight paths making it difficult for the attacking opponent. This type of rubber needs a great deal of training time if you wish to be successful and obtain maximum effect. Long pimples are ideal for combination bat players who will have a grippy pimple-in rubber on one side of the bat and long pimple-out on the other – introducing a guessing game for the opponent.

PIMPLES OUT

Short pimples approx 1.0mm long give a very direct ball rebound with a short ball contact time producing a minimal amount of spin. This is an ideal rubber for players who block and counter hit. It is also good for controlling the opponent’s spin. This rubber is frequently used on the backhand side of the bat.

PIMPLES NO SPONGE

Short (approx. 1 .0mm long) pimple out – without sponge. The playing characteristics are a passive rubber – with very good ball control but low speed and spin possible making it difficult to give variation in stroke play. PIMPLES IN Is the most versatile rubber giving the largest variation in speed and spin – from the high grippy and speed reduction of the defensive rubber to the high elasticity, spin dynamic offensive rubber covering the whole spectrum in modern table tennis. The characteristics for the pimples in rubber are achieved through various rubber mixtures -e.g. different Indian rubber types and processing – i.e. varying temperatures, supplementary materials etc, making pimples in rubber the most effective available
