About DNA Platinum XH

DNA Platinum XH (Combined speed 96, spin 92, control 74, 52.5°) is the power letter in STIGA’s German-made Platinum ladder. H is 50°; M is the mid step. Pro is a rung below the Platinum wall.

Helix Platinum XH is Möregårdh’s current listed sheet — a different Stiga family, not this DNA SKU. Hybrid XH adds a tackier topsheet on tensor sponge.

Buy XH if H already bottoms out on strong loops. Skip it as a first tensor. Compare with MX-P and Nexxus 50 on the vs pages.

Factory thicknesses

Factory sponge thicknesses sold in Europe: 1.8, 1.9, 2.0, 2.1, MAX. These are shopping facts — Combined speed / spin / control on this page do not change with thickness.

1.8: Thinner inverted sponge. Allround and first-upgrade backhands live here more often than attacking forehands.
1.9: The usual club backhand thickness on inverted tensors. A bit more control, a bit less catapult than 2.1 / MAX.
2.0: Mid-thick. Common on the backhand when MAX felt lively, or as a two-wing compromise.
2.1: Still a thick attacking sponge. A small step down from MAX on some tensors — shops treat it as the other FH thickness, not a control sheet.
MAX: Thickest factory sponge. Most catapult on a tensor; the usual attacking forehand. Combined figures on this page are for the SKU, not a separate MAX score.
