Tibhar Genius+ Optimum Sound

Average rubber with average spin, less than Xiom VE. The sponge is very soft, and the rubber plays only by topsheet without sponge support. This makes it difficult to get high speed. It is only suitable for beginners.

Wow, what a catapult effect this rubber has! (On FH, 1.8 mm thickness) I feel like the rubber sucks the ball in, then spits it out like a cannon. The rubber is a bit too soft for my taste, but I am experimenting with it for some time, surely. Furthermore, it is a looping machine. I want to attack and loop all the time. It is a lower-throw rubber compared with Bluefires, which draw higher arcs, so you should adjust your strokes a bit and open the face of your racket more. I feel obliged to try Genius+Optimum because it must be harder for sure.

Slightly faster than Genius Sound, this rubber provides similar spin. While I like this rubber, I prefer the original Genius Sound. I tend to hit the ball off the table more often with this rubber. Overall, this is an excellent forehand rubber for loopers. However, it is not the best for chops and blocks.

Alright rubber lacking touch shots, not much control, but when using it for topspin it has a good kick to it, great for blocking.

This rubber is excellent in terms of spin and control. It is not too fast, but it is fast enough to score a point. I use it on my backhand and, due to its very good control and spin, I can score a lot more points with backhand topspin strokes.

I am very pleased with it.

I switched from Nimbus Soft to this rubber, but I went back to the Nimbus Soft after 2 weeks. Compared to Nimbus Soft, it has far less control, is slower, but with slightly more spin.

I am Phil, and I have to correct this review.
The rubber is excellent for blocking and fast hitting on my backhand.
It has a good glue sound when hitting or brushing hard.
Countering heavy topspin balls is very fast and effective.
It is a speedy rubber with a soft sponge. I have a 1.8mm black one on a Stiga Tube Allround wood.
Chopping is good, but it is difficult to chop short; only long or medium length is possible.
It has a lot of catapult effect; fast stuff, guys!

Review of Very Very Fast Rubber (2mm Black)

This rubber offers exceptional speed, making it challenging to play short games. Executing short pushes or other variations with significant backspin proves to be difficult due to its excessive springiness and catapult effect. As such, this rubber is primarily suited for swift topspins and is particularly unforgiving.

Genius Range Considerations

Despite being a member of the Genius range, this rubber has received negative reception. It lacks the control, spin, and sound of the Genius Sound rubber, which performs notably better on the same Stiga Tube Allround WRB blade.

Perfect for looping, even chopping!
