Tibhar 1Q XD

What a backhand. But watch, it is horribly fast. Go for 1.8 mm if you are not a state-of-the-art player.
One sheet has been sitting on the back side of 1 MX-S and 2 R47; SO I KID YOU NOT. IT IS A TOP 5 BH FOR ME…

One of the very good rubbers. Blocking, backspin, topspin, smashing, and controlling are all okay to good. It is compatible with the fast carbon blade.

Very fast version of the Q-series.

This Thibar 1Q xd is the rubber with the hardest sponge that I have played so far. It’s a very progressive rubber in terms of speed with a medium throw.

In the short game, it seems that the sponge doesn’t kick, and it’s quite easy to play a short push or return a ball very short. On the other hand, it offers a great speed potential if you are playing away from the table with more powerful strokes.

The rubber has a non-tacky surface with a lot of grip. It offers a great spin on full strokes and also above the table. Players who don’t have a strong enough topspin stroke might be in trouble when they try to get spin in the ball.

Although it is very fast, it offers a lot of control when blocking the ball because it seems that the enemy spin has a low impact on the rubber. All in all, a very good rubber for people with a strong stroke.

A tick faster than 1Q with a firmer sponge. Lightning fast speed, great for quick counter drive players close or power players away from the table. Not for beginners.

Closest rubber to a speed glued max Sriver of old times except with a harder feel. Simply the fastest rubber I have ever used. Faster than T64, Outlaw Tuned, Galze. Acuda S1. Spin is excellent.

I play this rubber on FH on a Joola Fever blade (copy of michael maze i.e hard but flexible).

Amazing Rubber!!

1. Excellent for opening loops even on heavy under-spin balls.
2. With a side-spin shot, you can also reverse the spin on the incoming ball.
3. Flicking is a breeze even with a very casual shot.
4. Very good powerful topspin/drive. It has a sort of amazing punch when you involve the sponge from close/medium/far distances.
5. Even the inside-out topspins from far backhand corner across the diagonal that use a combo of topsheet-spin and punch from the sponge are excellent.
6. It’s also very easy to play controlled down the line shots against incoming servers from the diagonal due to the spin and grip of the rubber.
7. Pushes are very spinny as the topsheet is grippy.
8. Blocking is also very good despite its spin capabilities.

After experimenting with a lot of rubbers for FH (Evo-MXP, 1Q, Bluefire m2, Vega Pro, Rakza 7, Coppa Gold, etc.), I have come to conclude that 1Q-XD has it all.

Recommend it for players that love to continuously attack with FH, right from opening the loop, drive, topspin-topspin exchanges, etc.

Fastest rubber I have ever played with, offering lots of spin. It excels in both medium and long range, while performing very well in short game as well. Despite its speed, it provides incredible control, making it an ultimate offensive weapon.

Like a Hurricane 3 on steroids, 1Q-XD has a medium hard sponge, which gives it a very good catapult effect. However, this catapult effect doesn’t kick in early in the short game but only when you really need it.

I use it on my backhand, and opening loops are spinnier than any other rubber I have used. At the same time, it is very insensitive to incoming spin, so it blocks really well and makes it easy to get the ball back to the table, even when you are away from it. If you go full swing, it can do some serious damage, and opponents are advised to wear guards. Pushes are disciplined, but who wants to push when you can open loop on any ball, completely disregarding the incoming spin?

Most people will consider this as a forehand rubber, but I will use it on my backhand for its uniquely contrasting properties of:

1. Whirling spin on opening loops (more than H3 NEO)
2. Great blocking
