Tibhar Legend Destroyer

This rubber was awesome for the price, a really great deal. I make my own bats and I chose to dress my first oak model in these rubbers. The hard surface of the blade combined with the sponge on this rubber made for a VERY fast paddle!

The spin and control are good, and the weight is just right. Well-built rubbers that make a nice loud snap to scare your opponents.

It’s good for backhand. This rubber provides great control. It’s also very spinny.

This table tennis rubber excels with excellent control and spin. It provides precise shot placement and allows for a high level of spin generation, making it a valuable asset for players seeking enhanced control and spin capabilities.

The rubber is not too fast, but it provides great control, making it suitable for players who prioritize stability and precision.

I have this on a Y-2 Carbon Yinhe blade. 2.2mm red FH & 1.8mm black BH.

The blade is hard with no flex, and thus the rubbers are not suited to this blade.

The rubbers lost their tacky after around 6 hours of play/training, but the speed and spin are still there.

Good from any distance, but I will be switching blades for this rubber to see what the difference would be.

Great for loop drives and fast topspin driving, thumbs up from me. Nice rubber. The only Tibhar rubber I have used so far.

So far, I’ve tended to use soft tensors like Andro Plasma 38, Donic Vario Big Slam, and Xiom Yanus DF. My coach was skeptical when I turned up one day with the Legend Destroyer after the reviews here had convinced me to give it a try.

We were both pleasantly surprised: it offers great control, strong spin, and good speed. It’s a keeper for my forehand. Although objectively it’s a pretty hard rubber/sponge combination, it feels as if it’s catching hold of the ball like a soft tensor.

Two caveats: 1. It’s heavy. Just changing my forehand to this seemed to make my racket twice as heavy. 2. It’s not available in Japan, so I had to import it. I’m not sure whether that’s just because it’s not popular in Japan, or if Tibhar doesn’t make it anymore.

The medium-hard sponge provides a solid base for the ultra-sticky surface, which grips the ball exceptionally well. This makes returning serves, heavy chopping, and blocking effortless. However, the rubber also offers ample pace for effective attacking strategies. With its exceptional grip and versatility, it truly earns its reputation as a “demon grippy rubber.”

This is a good rubber. The top sheet is of very nice quality, tacky, and the sponge is firm. Out of the packet, this rubber looks good like any top-quality rubber.

It was a bit firm for me, so I put about three layers of speed glue onto the sponge and let it soften up a bit using the glass plate method. I didn’t leave it overnight though, just for a few hours. Then, I applied another layer of glue and let it stand overnight. The next day, I re-attached the rubber to my blade. It has played perfectly ever since. The sponge was just the way I like it. Note that I only applied speed glue to soften the sponge, so I can’t comment on how the rubber plays glued up as such.

Overall, it’s a good rubber, with good speed and spin, both before and after I glued it. The only difference was that the sponge was a bit softer after I glued it.

I tried this rubber today. It has a Chinese topsheet with a Japanese sponge. I took off my Nimbuses and pasted the new rubber on to my super fast Galaxy T-2 carbon. I didn’t expect it to be this good! It’s much spinnier than the Nimbus and has a lot more control. I usually don’t pay much attention to control, but this one is amazing.
I lost a considerable amount of speed compared to the Nimbus, but I gained a lot more consistency. My backhand loop is going in all the time, and my forehand loop has uncontrollable topspin. My playing partner only made like two balls in. Most of the balls either hit the net or flew past the table because he couldn’t control them like with my Nimbus.
The sponge is hard but very loud, which is what I like. But some people don’t like hard sponges, so ya, heads up.
My serves are much spinnier now, like everything else. If you play with tensor rubber and switch to this, you will be amazed by how consistent you will become.
Overall, this rubber is very light, very tacky, very spinny, not fast, has lots of control, and multiple gears. It has a high throw angle.
