Available in four variants: Helix Platinum M, Helix Platinum H, Helix Platinum XH, and Helix Platinum 55.”

Performance Characteristics

• Speed: OFF+ class – explosive rebound for fast counterattacks and mid-distance topspin shots, improved compared to previous Platinum series rubbers, with up to 11% more energy return.
• Spin: High arc (~40–45°) and elastic surface ensure strong grip for heavy topspin shots and serves, less sensitive to incoming spin.
• Control: 50° hardness sponge provides stability and control in aggressive play, forgiving in blocks and flicks but requires precise technique.
• Feel: Clear, resonant hitting sound with linear rebound, maintaining natural ball feel on stiff or composite blades.

Ideal Player Profile

Designed for advanced and professional players focused on offense: two-winged loopers, counterattackers, and all-round attackers playing near the table or at mid-distance, who play intensely and demand speed and spin. Less suitable for beginners or pure defenders due to high speed and hardness.

Pairing Recommendations

• Blades: Suitable for OFF or OFF+ blades, e.g., Stiga DNA Allwood NCT V, Clipper CR, or composite blades (e.g., Stiga Carbonado), to balance power and stability.
• Forehand: Ideal for heavy topspin shots and flat drives in intense rallies.
• Backhand: Effective for fast counterattacks and blocks on stiffer blades.
• Accessories: Recommended to use Stiga DNA water-based glue for clean adhesion.

Conclusion

Stiga Helix Platinum H is an elite offensive rubber designed to dominate intense rallies with explosive speed, strong spin potential, and balanced control, powered by Optimized Energy Sponge technology. It suits professional players seeking versatile power, competing with premium-class rubbers like Butterfly Tenergy 05 or DHS Hurricane 3 Neo.
