Hybrid – but different!
The AIR ILLUMINA rubbers offer what many others dream of: a high-grip Chinese-made topsheet with a dynamic sponge. This extremely grippy version of an ACTIVE TENSION TECHNOLOGY surface puts most other rubbers in the shade when it comes to cut and spin. This topsheet was combined with the proven PURE ENERGY SPONGE. The ILLUMINA HARMONY has a hard soft sponge that is slightly softer than the ASSASSINS HARMONY version. That’s why the ILLUMINA HARMONY plays a little slower than the ASSASSINS HARMONY due to the grippier tacky surface. The strengths of the rubber are outstanding cutting and spin variations with an overall quite soft feel. If you value a high level of control, not only when blocking, but also looking for a rubber for a high-rotation “chop, spin, drive” game, i.e. pushing, topspin opening and follow-up, then the ILLUMINA HARMONY is the right choice. It will certainly replace many previous classics.
