Tibhar Aurus Rubbers

If you are looking for a cost-effective and high-performance rubber series, the Tibhar Aurus rubbers are hard to beat. Especially the firm, robust and grippy topsheet, as well as the long durability, make the Aurus rubbers very popular among table tennis players.

Newly added are the versions Aurus Prime and Aurus Select. These rubbers are not only more modern, but also differ in concept from the first versions such as Aurus, Aurus Soft and Aurus Sound. Thanks to a thinner topsheet, the rubbers are designed to offer more dynamics, catapult effect and spin. This is especially true in the maximum sponge version, as the thinner topsheet allows for an even thicker sponge.

The fast and hard TOP rubbers in focus: Tibhar Aurus and Tibhar Aurus Prime

The Tibhar Aurus has been convincing offensive players for many years. With its hard and direct playing feel, aggressive attackers get their money’s worth. Although the Aurus is low in catapult effect and has a relatively flat trajectory, it offers huge spin potential with the right stroke. It works best in close-to-the-table play. Finishing shots and powerful counter topspins are dangerous weapons of the Tibhar Aurus.

The Tibhar Aurus Prime is similar in orientation. Thanks to the thinner topsheet, it feels more flexible. In addition, the more catapult-like sponge provides plenty of speed and dynamics. The biggest difference is the extreme dynamism of the Aurus Prime. It requires less physical effort and arm movement to activate the rubber.

To take full advantage and maintain control, advanced technique is recommended. The enormous speed and high spin potential make the Aurus Prime a dangerous weapon in offensive play. Thanks to its high dynamics, it shines in counter-topspin rallies from mid-distance.

For controlled shots or poor positioning, the rubber demands a lot, as it is not easy to play and forgives little. But those who know how to use the Tibhar Aurus Prime can rely on an explosive and dangerous rubber. Moreover, its properties work very well with the plastic ball, compensating for the loss of speed and spin.

For versatility in play: Tibhar Aurus Select and Tibhar Aurus Soft

The Tibhar Aurus Select provides a noticeably softer feel. While it uses a medium sponge, its special construction and softer topsheet (exclusive to the Select version) make it feel catapult-like and flexible.

In play, the Aurus Select convinces with lots of control and security. Its high trajectory in spinny opening loops is a major strength. Players who like to play with feel and spin will find the Tibhar Aurus Select an interesting option.

The Tibhar Aurus Soft is the opposite. With its firm topsheet and medium-soft sponge, it enables a dangerous medium-fast attacking game. Thanks to the direct impact, it never feels too soft. It also develops good dynamics from mid-distance.

We often recommend the Tibhar Aurus Soft as an upgrade to rubbers such as the andro Hexer Duro, Xiom Vega Europe or Victas Ventus Extra, since it is faster, spinnier and more dangerous, without sacrificing much control.

The spinny sound machine: Tibhar Aurus Sound

The Tibhar Aurus Sound holds a special position within the Aurus family. With its extremely soft sponge, it produces a great sound on every stroke. Excellent ball control is guaranteed.

The strong catapult effect is kept direct and controllable by the firm topsheet. It is far from being a “flummy” rubber. Players who enjoy very soft yet powerful rubbers must try the Tibhar Aurus Sound.
