DNA Platinum XH is an ITTF-approved table tennis rubber, manufactured in Germany, designed for professional ultra-offensive (OFF+) style players seeking the highest quality materials and maximum speed. This rubber, part of the Stiga DNA product line, was developed in collaboration with the Chinese national table tennis team, ensuring elite-level standards.

The standard topsheet with shorter pimples, combined with the rubber's unique composition of natural and synthetic rubber, provides excellent grip, enabling shots from difficult angles while generating high spin (~17.5/20) and an aggressive ball trajectory (9.1/10). The extra-hard 52.5° sponge, reinforced with Power Sponge Cells (PSC) technology, delivers an extremely strong catapult effect, maximum speed (~21.0/20), and good control (~7.8/20), making it suitable for fast and explosive shots that efficiently finish rallies at the table or from mid-distance.

A thinner topsheet allows for a thicker sponge (2.3 mm), which enhances speed and power. DNA Platinum XH is optimized for ABS balls, and its unique composition ensures long durability and a crisp, clear impact sound. The rubber is available in red and black, complying with ITTF regulations, with a 2.3 mm sponge thickness optimized for aggressive offensive playing styles.

Compared to DNA Platinum M (~20.0/20 speed, ~8.8/20 control, ~17.5/20 spin), DNA Platinum XH offers significantly higher speed but lower control while maintaining the same spin level. Player feedback highlights that the rubber "delivers explosive power in topspin shots," "enables intense spin generation in difficult situations," and "provides an incredible sense of speed," making it ideal for elite players seeking to dominate the game.

Unique Characteristics & Playing Performance:

DNA Platinum XH is an elite rubber designed for professional players seeking maximum speed (~21.0/20), very high spin (~17.5/20), and good control (~7.8/20). Its standard topsheet with shorter pimples ensures greater contact between the sponge and blade, enabling intense spin generation and a high ball trajectory (9.1/10), ideal for topspin shots, aggressive serves, and shots from difficult angles.

The extra-hard 52.5° sponge, enhanced with Power Sponge Cells (PSC) technology, creates an extremely strong catapult effect, providing explosive power that allows players to quickly and efficiently finish rallies. This rubber is particularly suited for players who rely on fast topspin shots, counter-topspin strokes, and aggressive play at the table or from mid-distance.

PSC technology, developed in collaboration with the Chinese national team, optimizes the sponge’s pore structure, delivering a longer ball trajectory and a more aggressive topspin arc, along with a crisp, distinctive impact sound that enhances feedback. The rubber with a 2.3 mm sponge thickness offers maximum speed and power, tailored for highly offensive playing styles.

Player reviews emphasize that the rubber "delivers explosive power in topspin shots," "enables intense spin generation in difficult situations," and "provides an incredible sense of speed," making it ideal for players seeking dominance.

Topsheet Composition:

The DNA Platinum XH topsheet is standard, optimized for excellent grip and spin, featuring shorter pimples (inverted) that increase surface contact between the sponge and blade. The unique rubber composition of natural and synthetic rubber ensures very high spin (~17.5/20), especially in topspin shots, aggressive serves, and shots from difficult angles.

A thinner topsheet allows for a thicker sponge, which enhances speed and power. Compared to DNA Platinum M (~20.0/20 speed, ~8.8/20 control, ~17.5/20 spin), DNA Platinum XH offers significantly higher speed but lower control while maintaining the same spin level.

Compared to Butterfly Dignics 05 (~15.0/20 speed, ~8.0/20 control, ~15.5/20 spin), DNA Platinum XH provides significantly higher speed and spin but lower control.

The topsheet ensures excellent grip, enabling intense spin generation even in challenging situations, such as counter-topspin strokes or heavy backspin play. Players note that the topsheet is "highly effective in generating spin on topspin shots," "stable when executing shots from difficult angles," and "offers excellent grip," making it ideal for players who value power and spin.

The topsheet is less sensitive to an opponent’s spin compared to sticky rubbers, facilitating serve reception and short-game play. Its durability is high, maintaining grip even under intense use when properly maintained.

Sponge:

DNA Platinum XH uses an extra-hard sponge (~52.5°) that balances maximum speed (~21.0/20), very high spin (~17.5/20), and good control (~7.8/20), delivering an "explosive and controlled feel."

Power Sponge Cells (PSC) technology optimizes the sponge’s pore structure, ensuring an extremely strong catapult effect and direct feedback, while the unique sponge pores enhance contact between the rubber and blade, producing a crisp, distinctive impact sound.

The 2.3 mm sponge thickness offers maximum speed and power, tailored for highly offensive playing styles.

Compared to DNA Platinum M (~47.5°, ~20.0/20 speed, ~8.8/20 control, ~17.5/20 spin), DNA Platinum XH provides significantly higher speed but lower control while maintaining the same spin level.

Compared to Butterfly Dignics 05 (~15.0/20 speed, ~8.0/20 control, ~15.5/20 spin), DNA Platinum XH delivers significantly higher speed and spin but lower control.

Players highlight that the sponge "provides an explosive catapult effect" and "helps generate powerful topspin shots," especially in close-to-table and mid-distance play.

Spin & Trajectory:

DNA Platinum XH excels in very high spin potential (~17.5/20), particularly in topspin shots, aggressive serves, and shots from difficult angles.

The standard topsheet with shorter pimples and extra-hard sponge prolongs dwell time, enabling intense spin that disrupts opponents, especially in topspin and counter-topspin exchanges.

The rubber’s trajectory (9.1/10), optimized with PSC technology, is high and arched, ensuring stable ball flight, ideal for topspin shots, counterattacks, and backspin play.

Player feedback notes that the rubber is "excellent for generating spin in topspin shots," "stable when executing shots from difficult angles," and "has an aggressive trajectory," making it ideal for players who rely on power and spin.

Compared to Tibhar Evolution MX-P (~15.0/20 spin), DNA Platinum XH provides significantly higher spin, appealing to players seeking maximum spin potential.

Control:

DNA Platinum XH delivers good control (~7.8/20) in its category, especially in topspin shots, serves, backspin play, and blocks.

The extra-hard sponge (~52.5°) provides stability for intense shots but requires highly precise technique compared to softer rubbers like DNA Platinum S (~9.2/20 control).

Compared to DNA Platinum M (~8.8/20 control), DNA Platinum XH offers lower control but significantly higher speed while maintaining the same spin level.

Compared to Butterfly Dignics 05 (~8.0/20 control), DNA Platinum XH provides slightly lower control.

Players emphasize that the rubber is "controllable in topspin shots" and "allows precise ball placement," especially in backspin play and counter-topspin exchanges, but demands advanced technique.

Technical Ratings:

• Speed (168/100, ~21.0/20): Maximum speed, suitable for topspin shots, counter-topspin shots, and backspin play. Compared to Butterfly Dignics 05 (~15.0/20 speed), DNA Platinum XH is significantly faster.
