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.

This rubber is only for the backhand side.

The rubber may lack power if you decide to pair it on the forehand side.

It has a low throw angle and provides more control.

You will be able to make precise topspin strokes and very good blocks.

It can save returns on unpleasant enemy serves.

Currently using this with a Tibhar Match. I would not recommend this as a first rubber for a player who is just making his first set, unless you are determined to play (at least 2x a week) and want to be an all-out offensive player.

It has great spin for service and drives. The black rubber can be used to banana flick opponents’ backspin easily, while the red rubber is a little more challenging.

It’s very fast for a beginner, but it can be tamed with training from a coach. I used it for six months, playing about 4.5 hours a week. At the end of the sixth month, the red rubber only started to lose spin (but make sure to clean it after a few matches and use a protective sheet).

It has good control despite its spin and speed. However, it’s not great for defensive play, in my opinion. Get this if you want to attack close/mid.

Very soft, quite spinny rubber that I use on my forehand. Lifting backspin and basic topspin shots feel perfect.

As others said, bottoming out happens once you get into a fast topspin rally so that speed really overtakes spin, but then the control is still great, so topspins from far away are a breeze.

The biggest con is that short play is really hard as the ball easily pops up, but luckily I use my backhand to do flicks from the forehand side a lot.

Overall, my favorite affordable rubber.

I’m fairly impressed with this rubber. Both the topsheet and the sponge are not particularly soft, but it creates a soft feel. It generates good speed and spin, so I’m satisfied.

I have tried this rubber on Timo ALL blade. It is an excellent rubber. Blocking and control are great, and it is spinny when needed. It is really good for my game type. Of course, it is not an explosive offensive rubber, so who needs that… no way…

#7April 2011

Good speed, spin is okay, and the control is excellent. However, I have trouble picking up chop balls. For this reason, I prefer this rubber on my backhand.

#8December 2010

An excellent forehand rubber that is very easy to use and very good. However, it does not last at all, especially the playing surface, which loses its “new feeling” very quickly. It also chips and breaks very easily.

I am going to try the Sinus Sound, which looks like a similar rubber. Hopefully, it lasts longer.

Can anyone compare this to Donic Desto F3 Bigslam?

For me, this rubber made a pretty good forehand rubber, though I intended for it to be backhand. The sponge is extremely soft, making it high in dwell time and easy to control. However, it also makes it nearly impossible to impart topspin unless the rally is going fast enough to allow the ball to dig into the sponge. Hence, flipping a serve has a low probability of success.

Also, for me, pushing with a short, quick stroke made the ball unpredictable. Where normally the ball would stay low and spin, the Nimbus Sound tended to make the ball pop up for an easy opponent smash.

Great rubber, fast with good spin and very controllable. Dwell time is very high, especially with medium hardness blades like Butterfly Primorac and Korbel. Looping backspin is a nightmare for opponents. I recommend this rubber for backhand because it has a high throw. I’ve had this rubber on Primorac Off for almost 6 months and it’s still in good condition.

#12September 2009

I like this rubber for the forehand. The soft sponge allows you to really dig up incoming backspin, which makes it a nice rubber to loop back serves. The only downside is bottoming it out, which happens occasionally during counter-looping rallies.

#13September 2009

If you are an all-rounded player looking for some control, but you also want a lot of speed and spin, I think this rubber is totally worth the money.

#14June 2018

Offers a lot of spin and control.

#15June 2016

The rubber is excellent quality and a good price.

#16September 2015

The Nimbus plays as expected. I have been using it for some time and needed new rubber. It is medium in speed and has good spin while providing good control.

#17August 2015

Good rubber for controlled playing. It is on my Stiga Offensive Classic blade.

#18July 2015

Good rubber for controlled and not very fast game. Allows for easily making good topspins with underspin, while not being demanding on technique.

#19July 2015

Thank you again for providing quality rubbers at an attractive price with very fast shipping.

#20August 2014

Perfect.

#21December 2013

I would recommend anyone to buy from this site. Thank you for the service.

Thanks, Table Tennis 11, for offering this product at a better price.

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.

#24April 2017

This rubber is excellent for players looking for control and spin. The rubber allows for precise placement of shots and has great durability. Overall, I highly recommend it.

#25April 2017

Отличная накладка. Особенно приятно ею забивать подрезки и запилы сильным плоским ударом. Звук, который при этом получается, (особенно в сочетании с деревяшкой Tibhar Nimbus All) - громкий щелчок. Минус - недолговечность (приходится часто менять).
