Description
A softer version in the Xiom Jekyll & Hyde series. Contact time is a key factor for both high trajectory and high control when hitting. The less time the ball stays on the rubbers surface, the less spin and control. The “V” rubber allows for a longer contact time while still delivering an energetic attack.

Amazing. The rubber is amazing, and it is surprising it has not caught on quicker on this premier comparison website! In the move over recent years to firmer sponges that now provide the control that only softer ones have done in the past, Jekyll & Hyde is by far the best. If you are a lover of the high throw (which I am not), Tenergy is very expensive but takes some beating. For all other attackers, J & H gives all the spin and power needed with your fast strokes, and unrivalled touch in the short game. Better technique is always the answer to the touch game; but this rubber will bridge some of that gap in ability and is invaluable for that reason alone. I have played all the major western-style offensive rubbers, majoring on Tibhar Evolution and the Xiom range. Jekyll & Hyde is a class apart.
