Tried this on a Stiga Infinity VPS V. Not a big fan of the rubber but it is ok. The plusside for me is definetly control and feeling. Very easy to control spin and speed from the opponent whether it's blocking against loop or close to the table, serve return etc. Amazing for snakes and chops! When it comes to attack- play, the rubber falls a little bit short for me. Speed is quite slow and you have to practice a lot if you want to find the right technique for playing fast loop- drives. The grip feels really good though and therefore the spin is nice, but not as much as ex. H3N or T05. Especially away from the table you feel this as the opponent quite easily can handle your attacks. Though, I believe you can get decent speed if you use it on a faster blade! Weight is a little downside as it's quite heavy and at the same time doesn't give you that much power. Solid rubber for intermediates, for pros I would use something faster or with more spin instead, as it's a little mediocre.

Members of the Chinese and Swedish national teams collaborated to create the ultimate balance between east and west. The new top sheet is sustainably developed to increase the durability and lifetime of the rubber. The Oxygen Capsule System in the sponge generates an intense catapult effect and speed. • The medium sponge provides tremendous hitting power and speed Speed: 152
• Made in China rubber with European characteristic spin elastic feel
• The medium sponge is suitable for players who desire a rubber with maximum speed.

I was looking for a hybrid rubber to substitute Hurricane 3 Neo and have partially found it. It loses its tackiness fast but remains grippy for a while. Average durability. Not very sensitive to incoming spin. It is faster than H3N, but not as fast as a tensor rubber. It is not bouncy, until you hit hard. Less spin in serves but very spiny when looping. It is less predictable than H3N but much more predictable than tensors. I am losing a point here and there because of this. I don't have this problem with H3N. I still need the hip rotation and forward arm motion to make it work but requires significantly less effort to play. I am now using it in my backhand on a flexible blade, Stiga Maplewood Nct V. It gives me the extra power without loss of control. It feels more uncontrollable and bouncy on carbon blades. Great at counter looping. Players who are inconsistent with tensor rubbers should consider it, either as a forehand or backhand rubber.
Tested in black max, on the forehand, on a Stiga allround classic and an Xiom Offensive S: Speed is just faster than vega pro in 2.0mm. The feeling is much more chinese-like; just a bit of a thicker contact on the ball than the chinese rubbers (such as h3n) that I've tried before probably due to a softer topsheet. It's extremely easy to control the placement and trajectory, partly because the rubber does not react so much to spin. Another feature of this rubber is its trajectory, which especially away from the table (and especially on the allround classic) comes across as having a very pronounced arc, although you've got to put in some effort to pick up the ball first. As you might have guessed, the spin is high - comparable to vega pro and the like. This feels really safe on the allround classic compared to the offensive s, which in contrast provides quite a bit more speed and a longer trajectory. What sets this rubber apart from euro rubbers is the improved linearity, and the main difference to chinese rubbers is the more elastic, dynamic nature. This rubber would suit an allround-offensive playing style which makes use of spin and placement in addition to speed. Enjoy your TT!

I purchased this rubber from Paddle Palace as part of their Combo Specials. The Genesis was advertised as a fusion between Chinese and European rubbers, so I was interested in the claim. I decided to experiment with this setup, as I usually tend to go Chinese FH and Euro BH, but I tried the opposite to see if their claim was true.
Results: This rubber definitely feels like more of a Euro rubber, it doesn't have the tackiness I expected, but there was some tacky qualities to it. The disappointment, was that it did not suit my playstyle. With longer, full arm strokes, this rubber did poorly, and did not seem to produce the spin and speed I needed. However, when I switched to a more traditional Euro style with a bent elbow, the rubber seemed better suited.
Overall, above average spin and speed, but nothing spin wise to compare with Chinese rubbers, and speed wise to compare with Tenergy. I felt it lacked the final push in speed to give the opponent that danger feeling to take the rally initiative. Just a solid beginner to intermediate rubber to practice technique. As an endnote, definitely some characteristic Chinese qualities(ie. slight tack), but other than that its a Euro rubber that really only suits a certain playstyle.
Would not recommend for competition. Good for practice

Used on Stiga All Classic on BH for 2 months. From the first session on very good Feeling. I played chinese Rubbers on the BH before (Friendship Higher), and obviously Genesis M is very different to those. I was looking for a rather fast, yet controllable rubber which allows for flicks, quick punches and strong Counterloops... and found it. performes very well in each of those, also Lifting backspin became easier. I can create crazy amounts of spin. However, the best part in my opinion is that the rubber is not as reactive to the opponents spin, which makes the short game simple and Counters, even against very strong balls, consistent. Great rubber to me,
Note that the tackieness is ok in the beginning, now pretty much gone, but still better grip compared to "normal" Tension Rubbers, meaning that the ball doesnt slip off the rubber when brushing.
I can only recommend this one, I wont change it anymore.
