Rubber description:

The Tibhar Aurus is a versatile table tennis rubber that stands out for its all-around performance, appealing to a wide range of players, from intermediate to advanced levels. With a speed rating of 109 and a spin rating of 110, this rubber excels in delivering impressive offensive capabilities alongside exceptional control—all made possible by its unique combination of a medium-hard sponge and a softer topsheet. Players appreciate its fast response, making it an ideal choice for different playing styles, whether close to the table or from mid-distance.

When it comes to tackiness, the Aurus scores a moderate 2.3, offering enough grip to produce spinny serves and effective pushes without being overly sensitive to incoming spins. This characteristic helps players maintain control during service return and blocks, with many reviews praising its consistency and reliability. Weighing in at 4.7, Aurus is categorized as medium weight, providing an excellent balance of speed and control without feeling cumbersome during play.

Durability is a notable aspect of the Aurus; many users report that it maintains its performance characteristics even after extended use, scoring a 7.3 in this category. However, some players have mentioned that while it performs remarkably well, its longevity can vary based on playing frequency and style. For players seeking alternatives, rubbers like Donic Desto F2 or Xiom Sigma Europe are often recommended, as they provide similar attributes of speed and spin but with varying feels and performance tailored to personal preferences. Overall, the Tibhar Aurus has earned rave reviews and remains a popular choice for players looking for a balanced and high-performing rubber.

This rubber is designed for intermediate players. It is suitable for all-around play, offering a balance of spinny topspins and chopping capabilities. However, it does not excel in any one particular area. Blocks and flicks are not particularly deadly with this rubber. It is a solid choice for players who are not quite yet at an intermediate level. The rubber is durable and has a long lifespan. Overall, it deserves a rating of 7.5.

The Aurus rubber on Butterfly Cypress Max (pen-hold, 10 mm thickness, hinoki): the top sheet of this rubber is significantly softer compared to other rubbers with 47-degree hardness (e.g., Rasent turbo, MXP, G-1). It is not a speedy rubber, but the spin and control are acceptable.
