Tibhar Aurus Prime

Rubber description:

Tibhar Aurus Prime is a high-performance table tennis rubber designed specifically for advanced players who favor aggressive play styles. This tensor rubber exhibits impressive speed and spin characteristics, rated at 120 for speed and 118 for spin, making it one of the quickest rubbers in the Tibhar lineup. While it offers explosive performance, players will appreciate its manageable control rating of 80, allowing for effective shot placement even during intense rallies.

Although not particularly tacky, with a tackiness score of 2.4, the rubber provides a good grip on the ball, facilitating strong spin generation. The relatively soft sponge hardness of 7 contributes to its impressive catapult effect, enabling players to achieve powerful loops and smashes with ease. Weighing in at 5.1, Aurus Prime is classified as a medium-weight rubber, striking a balance between speed and control without being overly heavy.

The durability of Tibhar Aurus Prime is commendable at 7.9, ensuring that it maintains its performance characteristics through extended usage, making it an excellent investment for committed players. However, this rubber is not for the faint of heart; it demands good technique and consistent stroke mechanics to unlock its full potential. Players often recommend it for backhand use if a slightly less explosive touch is desired.

As for alternatives, competitors like Butterfly Tenergy 05 and Nittaku Fastarc G1 present suitable options, yet players often find Aurus Prime to deliver a faster experience with a comparable throw angle. Overall, Tibhar Aurus Prime is a formidable choice for those looking to elevate their game with a high-speed, spin-focused rubber that suits an attacking style.

This is as good as MX-P! The gameplay is very similar as well.

A tip: This rubber is among the fastest I’ve tried. When I got one for my backhand, I went down to 1.7mm and it became freaking amazing. I have played with it with G1 on my forehand for half a year now on a Stiga Rosewood V.

For me, one of the best FH rubbers (besides Fastarc G-1 and Rasanter R47). Don’t miss Tenergys.

Not for beginners. Only players with well-fitting strokes and positioning can use the full potential and control it. The rubber is not very forgiving.

It works well on any blade, whether soft, hard, or with modern fibers. It depends on the player’s skill level because Prime can be so fast.
