Tibhar Quantum X Pro

This rubber is good, but it does not stand out for the forehand (FH) considering its price. The speed is decent—not the fastest, but still good. The spin is acceptable, yet the control could be improved. The sponge is hard and very linear. If this rubber were half the price, it would be a great deal. However, at this price point, there are better options available for the forehand, especially if you are using an all-wood blade. On the upside, it appears to be durable, and the variety of available colors is a notable advantage.

The backhand (BH) performance, on the other hand, tells a different story. When paired with an outer carbon blade, it opens up and provides a very enjoyable experience. The short game is efficient, allowing for fast and precise topspins that are difficult for opponents to return. Therefore, I recommend this rubber primarily for the backhand. Using it with the K3 for the forehand creates a perfect combination.

In comparison to the MX series, the Quantum X Pro is more linear but slower. While it is not as spin-sensitive, it excels overall in short game scenarios. It is similar to the Victas V>15, but with the Quantum X Pro, I tend to make fewer mistakes. I rate this rubber an 8.0 for the forehand and a 10.0 for the backhand, resulting in an average score of 9.0.

My previous backhand rubber was the JOOLA Dynaryz CMD, and I use a Stiga Infinity blade, which is a 5-ply all-wood model. This rubber offers above-average speed; however, it is not explosive. The speed is sufficient to win points both from close to the table and from mid-distance.

The spin generated by this rubber is very decent, although not spectacular. It is relatively easy to produce spin, thanks to the slightly tacky topsheet and the ability to compress the ball into the sponge. For me, the control is exceptionally high. It doesn’t launch the ball forward excessively with an opening topspin or flick, allowing you to execute a slow, spinny opening or a fast, flat shot with some effort.

You can clearly feel the difference between spinning the ball and hitting it flat. Overall, it’s a good offensive rubber with an impressive control-speed ratio.

Fantastic rubber with unique properties, it is highly recommended for the backhand side.

It is not sensitive to incoming spin, making blocking and countering perfect. You can create very hard and fast top spins, resulting in direct winners when you have the right technique. Overall, this has been my best backhand rubber in recent years.

I have only played with this rubber once, so I can’t provide a comprehensive review just yet. However, I must say that the pink color looks spectacular.

I have applied the rubber to the forehand side of a slow defensive blade, and it actually feels great.

Tibhar Quantum X Pro (red cover) - Max black - 47.7g (hardness 47) - Blade: Viscaria 87g.

I used the Tibhar Quantum X Pro on my forehand and paired it with a T19 2.1mm on my backhand. The throw angle of the Quantum X Pro is lower than that of the T19. The control offered by this rubber is simply fantastic, and the speed is sufficient to finish points. Spin is “on demand,” providing versatility in different playing situations.

The rubber is very responsive to spin, allowing for both very spinny and short openings. However, what I enjoy the most about this rubber is the ability to execute super fast topspins that are remarkably stable, consistently landing on the table with moderate spin, similar to the T64. In my opinion, the Quantum X Pro falls between the T64 and T80 in terms of performance.

Another noteworthy aspect is that the rubber is very light for a MAX thickness, weighing in at just 47.7g. To put that into perspective, the D09C 2.1mm rubber weighs 48.5g in black and 49g in red.

Additionally, the control provided by the Quantum X Pro is impressive both in blocking and counter-spin situations. Overall, this rubber delivers a very pleasant experience, achieving a excellent balance between spin, speed, and control. The price is also reasonable given the quality of this rubber. However, I cannot provide a rating for durability at this time.

The Felt Tenergy 64 is best suited for use with a hard blade.

As an amateur player, I can confidently say that this is the best backhand rubber I have ever used. It provides a significant boost in confidence during play, particularly with topspins.

I highly recommend this rubber. I currently use it with the Petr Korbel Japanese version blade, and it has greatly enhanced my performance.
