Carbo Sound (Stiga)

Carbon and titanium have revolutionized blade production for a new generation of players. It was only a matter of time before STIGA figured out how to extend its carbon fiber technology to their rubber sheets. After much research and development, STIGA has produced a mixture of carbon and rubber with fantastic results. Even though carbon is a very stiff material, STIGA has successfully maintained the elasticity of the rubber. This new combination offers a tremendous catapult effect coming from the sponge, as well as additional speed. The sound produced when striking the ball is quite loud, and all of this is due to the new carbon mixture in the sponge. The surface rubber has STIGA's Mega Tension properties and the sponge uses ACS technology.

Quite similar to MENDO MP with a little more spin. carbo sound is supposed to be the softer version but i found it medium-hard, so the carbo must really be hard. the throw angle is low so it is difficult to topspin chops and pushes from your opponent. But flat-hitting when the ball is on the rise is very effective.
