Innova (Stiga)

Stiga Innova and Stiga Innova Ultra Light have Stiga's new ACS (Air-Capsule System) technology that will revolutionize table tennis. The ACS-technology allows very high speed to be combined with maximum springiness/elasticity in an ultra-light rubber with outstanding control. This phenomenon must be experienced first hand! Stiga's Air-Capsule System is made up of numerous microscopic air-capsules with very thin walls, creating a lighter rubber sheet with more air capsules (since less material between the air capsules is used. Increases springiness/elasticity, thus delivering the ultimate spin, speed, and power. Innova is approximately 10% lighter and Innova Ultra Light is approximately 15% lighter than regular rubber sheets.

Nice balance but not expensive. Good for carbon blades and beginners.

stiga innova is one of the BEST rubbers for looping i have ever used. but it is a speed gluing rubber, so now it may not be (have not tried with the voc free glues yet). Anyway, the rubber has very good speed and spin. This allows for deadly loops with a combination of speed and spin. the one compromise is the control though. the control is not excellent, so it takes a good player to control the shots for placement, etc. the rubbers also good for serving and flipping very spinny balls. it is a little lacking in the counterlooping and blocking aspects. it is simply a little too fast and not enough control to block and counterloop good.
