Anyone know anything about this rubber? Silver you used to be a Magna fan back in the day. You gonna try this?

Dunno, just know it's out there now! We're usually last to see most stuff here in the states. What has happened to Stiga over the years? 10 years ago when I went to a tournament you would see your normal 50% Butterfly equipment like today. However Stiga used to have a strong 20% of the equipment market at these tournaments. Now it's hard to find any Stiga equipment other than old Clippers and they are pretty rare too nowadays. I was trying to find some info on the Titanium 5.4, and I couldn't find anything. Have people just given up on Stiga?

Maybe?

Last major tournament I went to, I saw lots of bty blades (mostly tbs/alcs) and a fair number of clippers. And sundry.

I'm getting them soon.

Apparently Saive was using the new Magna TC at the recent World Championships in Russia.

I have both TC II and TS II. Very interesting but pretty dead rubbers. Actually more so than Boost series right out of the package. Little catapult/glue effect, low throw, nothing special as per grip (original was great in this regard), fastish. A Greek pro told me wait for at least a week, he says it gets better everyday. So I'm trying to be patient before giving up. He may be right though, rubbers are a bit better than new now. But it's quite stupid waiting the break-in period while almost all others are good to go when new. I can't imagine Saive (or any pro/non pro serious player) using these with plain voc-free glue in this state.
