Rubber description:

The Tibhar Nimbus Soft is a highly regarded table tennis rubber that stands out for its exceptional control and versatility, making it a favorite among players of various skill levels. With a speed rating of 8.3 and a spin rating of 8.6, this rubber allows users to execute a wide range of shots with precision, particularly in close-to-the-table play. Its tensor technology ensures that players can unleash power when needed, without sacrificing control. The rubber’s 1.6 sponge hardness provides a plush feel, making it particularly forgiving on impact and enhancing player confidence during rallies.

In terms of tackiness, the Nimbus Soft exhibits a low level, rated at 1.6. This characteristic allows for swift stroke execution but can present challenges for generating high spin on the first ball, particularly on serves. However, players have noted its ability to handle and return spin effectively, making it a solid choice for responsive play against opponents’ serves. Weighing in at a low 1.9, Nimbus Soft is lightweight and easy to maneuver, which complements players who prefer rapid adjustments during match play.

Durability, however, has received mixed reviews, with a rating of 4.6. Many users have reported that the topsheet wears down more quickly than expected, which might be a crucial consideration for those looking for longevity in their equipment. For players seeking alternatives, options like Acuda S1 Turbo and Xiom Vega Elite have been suggested, offering different balances of speed and spin.

Overall, the Tibhar Nimbus Soft provides a reliable and controllable experience, particularly for all-round players who excel near the table. Its blend of speed, spin, and creativity in shot-making solidifies its reputation in the world of table tennis.

I have 1.8mm on my forehand, paired with a Nimbus All+ blade. I am satisfied and it is as expected/described. Good feel and control for all-around play close to the table. Good for intro-to-intermediate level and developing technique/strokes. The rather soft sponge (37.5d) means it often bottoms out when countering backspin.

I don’t think I’ve ever had shoes that are as easy to get in and out of. Very comfortable. Laces are just the right length.
They provide good grip on a (often) dirty floor in a gym I play at.

I think when ordering, going half size up may be a good idea.

On the advice of TT11.com, I gave this rubber a try. I have no regrets. This is a good rubber. Fantastic sound. Great control, reasonably fast, and can produce good spin. I had some problems gluing, though, when using the Nittaku Fine Zip - I still have a bubble in the lower right corner.
