Tibhar Rapid D.TecS

The rubber has a great feel for my backhand. However, it is not suitable for my brush-loop forehand due to its low throw.

Aside from this, the rubber is versatile and easy to use. The top sheet is thin and frays fairly quickly, but it will continue to play well even after that.

Forehand Rubber Review

I adore this rubber for forehand play. It exhibits exceptional versatility, with remarkable responsiveness to varying levels of effort. Its distinct sound and unparalleled feel make it an excellent offensive rubber. This rubber was among the first to incorporate the “speed-glue effect,” providing valuable microseconds of dwell time and enhanced springiness. While newer rubbers may surpass it, I firmly believe that my technique falls short of maximizing its potential, indicating that the rubber itself poses no limitations.

The impending discontinuation of this rubber is disheartening. The Genius rubber comes to mind as a suitable alternative. Upon testing, I discovered that it offers a similar “feeling” when looping.

Furthermore, I have encountered other players who highly value this rubber for backhand play, citing its exceptional feel, versatility, and consistent power.

This rubber is great for backhand. It is fast, controllable, and has good spin, although it is not very tacky.
