Hello all,

Do anyone has an idea where to find reliable information on the weight of various rubbers (mostly Stiga, Andro & Butterfly)? That seems to me as a "must know" information before to buy anything, and weirdly enough, a quite hard one to find!

Cheers

i would like to know that one, too.  i'm a bit surprised that the manufacturers and/or dealers don't provide that info, cuz it is important to know.

example:
Bryce 86 with package, cutted to a Stiga optimum blade is 46g
bty ~minus 40g

Plasma 470 94g with package, cutted to Stiga optimum blade 48g.
andro ~minus 46g

Stiga is similar to bty
Mendo MP 85g with package, cutted 44g

these numbers arent accurate because i use a cheap kitchen scale. You have to calculate +-2g.

light rubbers like samba, mambo weights are between 36-40g
medium soft rubbers like sriverfx, markv gps weights are between 38-44g
medium rubbers cutted like markv, sriver, bryce weights are between 42-48g
all max sponge and cutted to 15.8 to 15 cm blade.

I have a large post of a ton of chinese rubber weights back in the archives somewhere.

I'm assuming the numbers listed above are cut weights. A very light cut sheet will be 40-42g (the lightest I've seen was 38). Average is around 44-48. Traditional chinese around 55.

Of course these numbers will vary with gluings and size of blade you cut it to fit.
Wavestone St with Illumina 1.9r, defender1.7b

Please let me know if I can be of assistance.
