Aurus Select - Advanced SSP technology for enhanced performance

This rubber is developed using the so-called SSP (Super Soft Performance) technology, which incorporates a thinner topsheet to maximize sponge thickness. This structural adjustment results in greater speed and power while maintaining superb ball feedback. The topsheet, crafted with a softer and highly grippy texture, allows for exceptional spin generation, making it an excellent choice for players who emphasize topspin and backspin variations.

Unique medium-hard sponge with optimized geometry

What sets the Aurus Select apart from other rubbers is its medium-hard 45° sponge—a rarity among rubbers with a thin topsheet and a maximized sponge. Unlike competing series such as Donic Bluestorm or andro Rasanter, this rubber fills a unique niche, offering an outstanding combination of elasticity, dwell time, and energy transfer. The fine-pored sponge structure provides a dynamic yet controlled feeling, perfect for offensive and allround strategies alike.

Key features and playing characteristics

• speed & power: The thicker sponge generates increased ball acceleration, allowing for effortless power shots.
• exceptional spin: The soft, grippy topsheet ensures high spin potential, enabling precise and controlled topspins, backspins, and counterspins.
• superior control: Despite its speed potential, the rubber offers a highly controlled playing experience, making it ideal for consistent and precise strokes.
• versatility: Designed for players who enjoy an allround or variable offensive style, this model adapts seamlessly to different playing techniques.

Ideal for the mid-distance and close-to-the-table play

The Tibhar Aurus Select shines in the mid-distance game, allowing players to execute spin-heavy shots with remarkable consistency. The rubber’s balanced speed and control make it especially well-suited for safe and spinny topspin rallies. Additionally, its elasticity provides excellent feedback in close-to-the-table play, ensuring solid blocking and countering capabilities.

If you are an allround player seeking a rubber that blends spin, control, and moderate speed without compromising stability, this model is the perfect choice. Offensive players who prefer a more controlled attacking style will also find this rubber to be an excellent companion.

For a more aggressive, high-speed playing style, consider pairing the Aurus Select on the backhand with a more powerful rubber, such as the Aurus Prime on the forehand.
