Item details

The Tibhar Aurus Prime rubber released in 2017 has a 47.5º sponge hardness, ideal for advanced players. The rubber comes with a purple sponge and will enable the player to generate a lot of spin whilst being able to put their opponent under a lot of pressure with power.

The innovative SSP technology uses a thinner, tighter upper rubber in favor of a thicker sponge. The result is a speed- and catapult-optimized attack surface, which is not only unparalleled in terms of price performance.

Cons
  • Linearity lacking a little
I like this rubber very much - it feels a lot softer than a 47.5 such as Vega Pro and once you adjust to that it’s a nice feeling.

In my experience not as fast or catapulty as T05 and not as spinny - but much easier to control and short game better. Also less spin sensitive.

I use on FH but it would work on BH well too - I prefer it to Select.

Right from the get-go, it became obvious that Aurus Prime is a fast rubber with a very prominent catapult, which makes it feel even faster than Tibhar’s Evolution MX-P. The feeling on FH drives is very direct and almost speed-glue like, with plenty of power reserves for play from mid-distance and beyond. The rubber feels like a ~48 degree rubber on these shots. Medium paced FH loops have medium-high trajectories with plenty of clearance over the net and land deep in your opponents’ territory. On one or two occasions, I hit through the sponge against heavy backspin balls, which resulted in uncontrolled ball trajectories, but the control on loops and loop-drives is - all in all - excellent. The rubber does most of the work of the work for you, allowing you to use compact strokes. See our full Tibhar Aurus Prime review here.

Pros
  • Spin
  • Contact
High-spin rubber with excellent feeling on impact, gives the impression of prolonged ball contact. Excels in open topspin game, but due to the stiff topsheet demands good timing. Less forgiving than Evolution MX-P with the same nominal sponge hardness. Feels harder, too. Good for short game, linear characteristic, medium catapult. Tested on Carbon and all wood, worked with both.

Concept of max+ thickness sponge works well with the new topsheet. Would be vary of stiff topsheet on thinner sponges, but may appeal to users of previous regular Aurus.
