Uprgrading to a faster and spinnier rubber

[Ahma]

Hey, right now I'm using the Tibhar Aurus Sound rubber on both sides. It's decent, but sometimes I feel like I need more speed and spin. Looking for something faster, spinnier, maybe with a harder sponge, like from the Tibhar Evolution series. I also need a relatively lighter rubber. Not really into the Aurus series anymore. Mainly Tibhar rubbers. There are so many options, and I'm struggling to pick the right one. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I used tibhar aurus for most of my beginner years, i found Donic Bluestorm z1 and Acuda S1 very good. But the softer (2) versions are amazing aswel.
More spin, slightly harder and faster!

Hi, these rubbers are probably good too. But I can't get them easily here. I would prefer Tibhar rubbers more. Thanks.

I'm interested on the Evolution FX-S and EL-S rubbers. I'm probably not going to get a rubber in 2.1 or max thickness. 1.7 or 1.9mm is probably better for me. Because I want my setup to be in the range of 175g-185g. My blade is already quite heavy, 90 grams. I'm interested to hear your opinions or suggestions.

I have once played with a player with an Evolution MX-D on her forehand. She produced fast balls with plenty of spin. Maybe this MX-D could a possibility to look into.

I think that is a bit too hard and heavy for me.

I don’t like the Evolution series. The one dislike the least is MXP. But if you’re looking for Tibhar my favorite is hybrid MK. Grippy and spinny, not much catapult.

Sound is extreme soft. Anything you get nowadays gunna be harder.

Try out FX-D or FX-P.

Hey, it's labeled as 35 but is actually closer to 40 degrees. Interesting to hear the FX-D. I think it could be a good option. Maybe that or EL-S. Thanks!

FX-D will play harder than its rated hardness. Yiou can really crack it with FX-D.

FX-P also plays slightly harder than its rated softness, but is an outstanding allround offensive oriented control rubber.

 

[Der_Echte]

Allround Offensive control oriented rubbers let you hit harder and still land it, often with great spin.

That is why I like that category of rubber and why I use Aurus Soft on BH.

I use a slower OFF Minus all wood blade and that slower Aurus Soft rubber... but it is not slow and I can spin it like no tomorrow.

 

[Ahma]

Good to hear, I’ll probably get the FX-D then. The Aurus Sound is slow even with a very fast all-wood 7 ply and 7mm thick blade. But I’ll look into the FX-D deeper, and read some reviews about it. Thanks!

 

[Ahma]

It does seem pretty similar to EL-S in terms of speed and spin ratings. The EL-S is a tad bit cheaper. And EL-S comes in 1.7mm thickness, to reduce the weight.

 

[Ahma]

Forgot that there is newer versions of Aurus. Aurus Prime and Select. Don’t know which one yet to go with.

I'm using the Tibhar FX-D on my BH on a Stiga Rosewood 7 NCT. It's definitely not slow, actually very good for BH punches, the top sheet is grippy, so the spin level is high. It's a bit slower than Andro R45 but the top sheet of the FX-D is grippier (you don't have to engage the sponge so much to get spin), I measured 44 degrees of hardness with my Shore O durometer. (from the top sheet side).
Coming from a Stiga DNA Platinum S (which measured 41-42 degrees), the Stiga was a bit slower and had more control, the spin level is similar, FX-D is a bit faster.

Rakza 7 and bluefire m2 are great. Tenergy 05 might be a bit much, but it's another option.
