Buy on AliExpress →Rubber Analysis
The STIGA Rising Dragon is a smooth inverted rubber engineered for modern offensive table tennis. With a spin rating of 8.8/10, this rubber offers solid rotation capability. You can generate meaningful spin on loops and serves, though it won't produce the extreme dip of top-tier spin rubbers. The speed rating of 8/10 provides enough pace for offensive play while the 7.8/10 control keeps things manageable. This balance makes it suitable for players who attack but value consistency. Available in 2.0mm, 2.2mm thickness options — thicker sponges offer more speed and spin potential, while thinner ones prioritize control. This rubber is best suited for loop attackers who drive heavy topspin.
