Tibhar 5Q VIP is an exceptional table tennis rubber that offers an unmatched combination of speed, spin, control, and durability.
With a speed rating of 109 and a spin rating of 115, the Tibhar 5Q VIP is one of the fastest and spinniest rubbers on the market. It generates tremendous power and creates devastating spin, making it ideal for aggressive players who want to dominate the table.
Despite its incredible speed and spin, the Tibhar 5Q VIP also offers excellent control. Rated at 9 out of 10, this rubber provides a high level of precision and consistency, allowing players to place their shots exactly where they want them. The 5Q VIP's tackiness rating of 1.8 further enhances control by providing excellent grip on the ball.
The Tibhar 5Q VIP features a sponge hardness of 5.2, making it slightly softer than the popular Tibhar 5Q. This softer sponge provides more dwell time and a higher throw angle, resulting in more spin and control. However, the 5Q VIP still maintains a high level of speed, making it suitable for both all-around and offensive players.
The Tibhar 5Q VIP is known for its outstanding gears, which allow players to easily transition between different types of strokes. With a gears rating of 9 out of 10, the 5Q VIP enables players to switch from aggressive topspins to controlled blocks or loops with ease.
The consistency of the Tibhar 5Q VIP is rated at 10 out of 10, making it one of the most reliable rubbers on the market. Players can trust the 5Q VIP to perform consistently, shot after shot.
In terms of durability, the Tibhar 5Q VIP receives a rating of 8.8 out of 10. While not the most durable rubber on the market, the 5Q VIP can withstand regular use and maintain its performance over time.
Overall, the Tibhar 5Q VIP is an exceptional table tennis rubber that delivers an unbeatable combination of speed, spin, control, and durability. Its unique blend of qualities makes it an excellent choice for players of all levels, from recreational to professional.
Tibhar 5Q VIP is a very good rubber, but I found it to be a bit too fast for my preferences. It offers a lot of spin and provides quite good control. I recommend it for forehand play if you favor an offensive style. However, as I mentioned earlier, for my all-round playing style, it was a little too fast.
It is worth emphasizing that the durability of this rubber is excellent.
To sum up, my rating for Tibhar 5Q VIP, on a scale of 1 to 10, is as follows:
Speed = 9.4
Spin = 9.2
Control = 8.4.
A true outsider in the world of table tennis, this rubber is incredibly easy to play with, yet it has been overlooked by many. It offers excellent consistency and generates a significant amount of spin.
I hope that more players will take the opportunity to enjoy this outstanding rubber.
I am playing with a red 2.1mm rubber on the backhand (BH) and a super thick black Nittaku Fastarc G-1 on the forehand (FH) using a Donic Waldner Allplay blade. Coming from a Donic Baracuda, it is difficult to make a direct comparison since I am now using an all-round blade.
I have experimented with many different composite offensive blades and ultimately decided to try a 5-ply all-round blade. I am extremely impressed with its performance. After using the Baracuda for a long time and testing various rubbers, I consistently found myself returning to the Baracuda, which made me very happy with its overall performance.
I have only had about three sessions with the Tighar 5Q rubber, but I find it very similar to the Baracuda. I encountered no issues while playing with the 5Q and did not need to make any adjustments. The topspin feels really good, and the overall feeling, control, and dwell time are excellent.
I still need to play a few more sessions to see how it performs in tournaments, as I have only been practicing so far. I will provide an update as soon as possible.
