Updated! I was searching for a rubber with a 45-degree sponge hardness when I came across a test and review of the Tibhar Aurus Select on a German table tennis blog. By chance, a few days later, I got my hands on a Butterfly Zhang Jike TAMCA 5000, which had two 1.7 mm AURUS Select rubbers attached. It was incredible! What a wonderful feeling of directness and control. A few weeks later, I decided to buy this rubber for myself.

Here are the facts: It is a red rubber with a 1.7 mm sponge and a 45-degree sponge hardness. According to “Spin & Speed Germany,” the total hardness of the rubber is 50 degrees, which combines well with the medium-hard top rubber. The weight, including packaging, is 85 g. The uncut weight is 60 g, and it weighs 43 g when cut (157 x 150 mm).

When I glued it onto my STUOR Nobilis ZLC Hinoki blade, I realized that this rubber felt too soft for my playing style. The wonderful sense of directness and control that I experienced with the Zhang Jike TAMCA 5000 was missing. This prompted me to buy that blade a few weeks later! Despite this initial adjustment, I soon got accustomed to the rubber (with 1.7 mm) and found it to be an excellent choice for my backhand.

In conclusion, the Aurus Select is a very controlled and forgiving rubber that offers above-average spin properties and a higher trajectory. It is suitable for players of nearly all skill levels, whether used as a forehand or backhand rubber. However, for those who prefer a more angular style of play, some other rubbers may be more effective.

I used the rubber on my backhand, opting for both the max and 2.0 thickness in red. It is a nice rubber that offers excellent control and is suitable for counterattacks.

However, it isn’t an offensive rubber like the MX-P; instead, it feels more like a snipe rubber. This makes it a good choice for developing players who are working on their skills.

Excellent rubber with a fantastic feel. It offers good speed, impressive spin, and great control. Looping backspin is easy with this rubber.

I use the Tibhar Aurus Select 2.1 on my backhand with a Donic Balsa Carbo Fleece blade.
