Tibhar Sinus

Rubber description:

Tibhar Sinus is a highly regarded table tennis rubber, known for its impressive blend of speed, spin, and overall performance, making it a popular choice among intermediate to advanced players. With a speed rating of 8.9 and a spin rating of 9, this rubber excels in offensive play, enabling fast and aggressive strokes. The tensor technology integrated into the rubber provides a unique feel, allowing for explosive shots while maintaining good control.

In terms of tackiness, the Sinus rubber features a moderate rating of 3.1, providing enough grip for tricky serves and returns without sacrificing speed. The weight of the rubber is classified as medium (4.1), making it suitable for various playing styles without feeling cumbersome. However, durability remains a concern as many players report that the rubber tends to wear out within one to two months of regular use. With an overall durability rating of 7, players are advised to be mindful of the lifespan of the rubber and may want to consider alternative options for prolonged performance.

For those seeking alternatives, the Tibhar Genius family offers similar performance characteristics with improved durability. Players transitioning from other popular brands, such as Butterfly, often find that Tibhar Sinus provides a satisfying balance of speed and spin, although some may prefer the more pronounced click sound of other rubbers. Whether employing hard blocks or dynamic loops, Tibhar Sinus stands out for its versatility and consistent performance, making it a formidable choice for players looking to elevate their game.

I got back to table tennis after 10 years. I used Srivers over Primorac Carbon before. Now I have a simple Mazunov.

I started using this rubber on it for my forehand. It doesn’t lack any speed. The sponge is a bit hard (you can even notice it from its sound), but in a good way.

The control is a bit hard for blocking high loops, but it’s a very good rubber. Compared to Butterfly rubbers, I prefer Tibhar overall.

This rubber is very fast and produces a good amount of spin on the ball. However, it lacks some flexibility, and the control is not the best, although it is still good.

The biggest downside is that the rubber is not very durable. It typically lasts only a month or two.

Overall, this is a good OFF rubber for fast play.

Just tried it for one day, and my impressions are:

  1. Violent! Even more so than Acuda S1 and Express X-Plode.
  2. The feeling is also a bit harder and more direct.
  3. The surface is not tacky but is graspy enough for short service.
  4. It is harder to control in small gears.
