Tibhar Ellen OFF

Tibhar Ellen Off - The faster brother of the Ellen Def

The names of both Tibhar Ellen rubber sare really self-explanatory. Next to the Ellen Def, which is of course more suitable for the passive antitop game, there is also the Tibhar Ellen Off. As its name already suggests, it is of course more offensive than the Def version. However, its gaming style is more related to the term "allround" rather than "offensive", which might be a bit misleading when reading its name.

The Ellen Off from Tibhar is equipped with a harder sponge (approx. 10° harder). This has various effects: The ball-contact-time is shorter, which increases the acceleration of the ball. Hence, the overall speed is higher. This behavior supports players, who are aiming to punish weak balls (coming from the opponent) by means of self-induced, active strokes. The Tibhar Ellen Off has a surface which is not prone to incoming spin. Also, the ball is decelerated in an effective manner, which allows a good control of strokes coming from your opponent, even in the case that these are quite powerful. These two aspects are true for both rubbers, the Ellen Def and the Ellen Off.

The Ellen Off, however, is harder, more powerful, and more dynamical, supporting an active game. This also allows you to include disturbing attacks into your game which is a perfect tool to disturb the rhythm of your opponent.
