You're right, I know two players who use regular Aurus and keep them all year long, balls feel extremely heavy even on five-ply and would outpower a fair chunk of people here, I am pretty sure. Mean spin, too; that's on max sponge.
Yeah.
In Korea, when I gave up on T05 when BTY jacked up price of rubber to 75 USD or so a sheet, I tried a few rubbers and settled on Tibhar Aurus. I could get 300-400 hours out of it... and my friend would get another 300 out of it. When new, Aurus topsheet felt like supple high end Italian leather. It was a high control rubber with a decent top end spin on your big shots.
I still have the beast mod of the Stiga Allround Evolution... I brought it to the club last week and had a 2200 level player hit a few FH and BH using it... one side had a 6 year old sheet of Aurus on it... and he loved the control of it.
By the way, he didn't know what bat I gave him and he said he swung that bat so easily to make spin... then I took him off the court to the scale I had ready at the table... bat with rubbers was 220 grams +... he was smiling.
