Rubber description:

The Tibhar Nimbus Sound rubber is designed primarily for players who appreciate a balance between spin, speed, and control during their matches. It features a soft sponge with a hardness rating of 40°, which enhances dwell time and allows players to generate significant spin on their shots. Although some users have found the tackiness to be low (0.8), the rubber still delivers commendable ability to lift backspin and perform precise topspin strokes with good control.

In terms of weight, Nimbus Sound is classified as light (1.1), which makes it favorable for players who value quick maneuverability without sacrificing performance. However, while it excels in control and speed with scores of 8.6 and 8.2, it falls short in durability, garnering a rating of only 4.7. This drawback has been noted by multiple users, who reported that the rubber tends to lose its performance qualities relatively quickly and may chip or break under intensive play.

For those seeking alternatives, players looking for a similar feel might consider Tibhar’s Sinus Sound, which has been recommended by users aiming for enhanced durability. Additionally, some players find better performance with rubbers like Donic Desto F3 Bigslam, particularly if they require greater longevity and stability. Overall, Tibhar Nimbus Sound is an excellent choice for players who favor offensive play close to the table, although those seeking a long-lasting rubber may need to explore additional options.

I have 1.8mm on the backhand, 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 32.5d sponge is the softest I’ve owned/tried recently, along with Xiom Vega Elite.

Hi all,

I’m very sorry, but I have never seen worse rubber than this in my life. There is no rotation at all. It felt like playing only a blade without rubber. Maybe I got a defective product, but I know for sure that I will never recommend anyone buy it. I read a lot of reviews on this rubber and have the feeling that they are all corrupted.

I usually play with Tibhar Genius rubber, and there really is a spin on the ball, unlike Tibhar Nimbus Sound.
