DNA Hybrid XH is an ITTF-approved table tennis rubber, manufactured in Germany and designed in Sweden, created for top-level highly offensive (OFF+) style players who have high demands and seek the highest quality materials. This rubber, part of the Stiga DNA product line, was developed in collaboration with top-level players from China, Japan, and Sweden, ensuring elite-level standards. The semi-tacky topsheet, supported by H-Touch Tensor technology, provides exceptional grip, allowing for maximum spin generation (~18.0/20) and a high ball trajectory (9.0/10). Combined with Power Sponge Cells (PSC) technology and an extra-hard 52.5° sponge, the rubber ensures an extremely strong catapult effect, maximum speed (~20.5/20), and good control (~7.8/20), making it suitable for fast and explosive shots close to the table and from mid-distance. DNA Hybrid XH is optimized for ABS balls, and its semi-tacky surface facilitates maximum spin generation in complex situations, providing an excellent balance of control and speed from opening to counter-topspin strokes. The rubber is ideal for players seeking incredible spin and maximum speed to quickly and efficiently finish rallies. It is available in red and black, complying with ITTF requirements, with a 2.2 mm sponge thickness optimized for aggressive offensive playing styles.

Compared to DNA Hybrid H (~20.0/20 speed, ~8.0/20 control, ~18.0/20 spin), DNA Hybrid XH offers higher speed while maintaining the same spin and slightly lower control. Player feedback highlights that the rubber "provides explosive power in topspin strokes," "allows generating intense spin in complex situations," and "has an incredible speed feel," making it ideal for elite players seeking to dominate the game.

Unique Characteristics and Playing Style:

DNA Hybrid XH is an elite semi-tacky rubber designed for players seeking maximum speed (~20.5/20), very high spin (~18.0/20), and good control (~7.8/20). Its semi-tacky topsheet, supported by H-Touch Tensor technology, ensures exceptional grip, enabling powerful spin generation and a high ball trajectory (9.0/10), ideal for topspin strokes, aggressive serves, and backspin play. The extra-hard 52.5° sponge, reinforced with Power Sponge Cells (PSC) technology, creates an extremely strong catapult effect that provides explosive power to shots while maintaining sufficient control during intense play. The rubber is particularly suitable for highly offensive players who rely on fast topspin strokes, counter-topspin strokes, and aggressive play close to the table or from mid-distance, allowing them to quickly and explosively finish rallies.

H-Touch Tensor technology, developed using artificial intelligence and insights from professional players (China, Japan, Sweden), optimizes the interaction between the topsheet and sponge, delivering a unique feel and a distinctive crisp sound that helps locate the "perfect impact point." The 2.2 mm sponge thickness offers maximum speed and spin, fitting aggressive offensive styles. Player feedback emphasizes that the rubber "provides explosive power in topspin strokes," "allows generating intense spin in complex situations," and "has an incredible speed feel," making it suitable for players seeking dominance.

Topsheet Composition:

The DNA Hybrid XH topsheet is semi-tacky, optimized for maximum spin and speed, and supported by H-Touch Tensor technology. The inverted pimples ensure strong ball contact, enabling very high spin generation (~18.0/20), especially during topspin strokes, aggressive serves, and backspin shots. Compared to DNA Hybrid H (~20.0/20 speed, ~8.0/20 control, ~18.0/20 spin), DNA Hybrid XH offers higher speed while maintaining the same spin and slightly lower control. Compared to Butterfly Dignics 09C (~14.5/20 speed, ~8.5/20 control, ~16.5/20 spin), DNA Hybrid XH has significantly higher speed and spin but lower control.

H-Touch Tensor technology enhances the topsheet's elasticity and grip, prolonging ball contact and facilitating spin generation even in complex situations, such as counter-topspin strokes or play against heavy backspin. Player feedback highlights that the topsheet is "highly effective in generating spin on topspin shots," "stable when playing against backspin," and "has exceptional grip," making it suitable for players who value power and spin. The semi-tacky surface is less sensitive to the opponent's spin compared to traditional tacky rubbers, making serve reception and short play easier. Its durability is high, maintaining grip even under intense use if properly maintained.

Sponge:

DNA Hybrid XH uses an extra-hard sponge (~52.5°) that balances maximum speed (~20.5/20), very high spin (~18.0/20), and good control (~7.8/20), delivering an "explosive yet controllable 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 rubber-to-blade contact, producing a crisp impact sound. The 2.2 mm sponge thickness offers maximum speed and power, fitting highly offensive playing styles.

Compared to DNA Hybrid H (~50°, ~20.0/20 speed, ~8.0/20 control, ~18.0/20 spin), DNA Hybrid XH offers higher speed but slightly lower control while maintaining the same spin. Compared to Butterfly Dignics 05 (~15.0/20 speed, ~8.0/20 control, ~15.5/20 spin), DNA Hybrid XH has significantly higher speed and spin but lower control. Player feedback emphasizes that the sponge "provides an explosive catapult effect" and "helps generate powerful topspin strokes," especially in close-to-table and mid-distance play.

Spin and Trajectory:

DNA Hybrid XH features very high spin potential (~18.0/20), especially during topspin strokes, aggressive serves, and backspin shots. The semi-tacky topsheet and extra-hard sponge prolong ball contact, enabling intense spin that disrupts opponents, particularly in topspin and counter-topspin exchanges. The rubber's trajectory (9.0/10), optimized by H-Touch Tensor technology, is high and arched, ensuring stable ball flight ideal for topspin strokes, counterattacks, and backspin play. Player feedback highlights that the rubber is "excellent for generating spin on topspin shots," "stable when playing against backspin," and "has a controllable trajectory," making it suitable for players who rely on power and spin.

Compared to Tibhar Evolution MX-P (~15.0/20 spin), DNA Hybrid XH offers significantly higher spin, making it ideal for players seeking maximum spin potential.

Control:

DNA Hybrid XH provides good control (~7.8/20) in its category, especially during topspin strokes, serves, backspin shots, and blocks. The extra-hard sponge (~52.5°) offers stability in aggressive strokes but requires extremely precise technique compared to softer rubbers like DNA Hybrid M (~8.8/20 control). Compared to DNA Hybrid H (~8.0/20 control), DNA Hybrid XH has slightly lower control but higher speed and the same spin. Compared to Butterfly Dignics 05 (~8.0/20 control), DNA Hybrid XH offers lower control. Player feedback emphasizes that the rubber is "controllable on topspin strokes" and "allows precise ball placement," especially in backspin and counter-topspin play, but requires advanced technique.

Technical Ratings:

• Speed (164/100, ~20.5/20): Maximum speed, suitable for topspin, counter-topspin, and backspin shots. Compared to Butterfly Dignics 05 (~15.0/20 speed), DNA Hybrid XH is significantly faster.
