Tibhar Genius Rubbers

For spin-rich topspins: Tibhar Genius

The Tibhar Genius is an offensive rubber with a good balance of speed and control. A medium-hard sponge and a grippy topsheet with a new pimple geometry give the rubber impressive spin potential. The ball leaves the rubber at a relatively steep angle, resulting in a particularly curved trajectory. This trajectory allows serves and topspins to be played with extraordinary spin. The good dynamics of the Genius also provide enough power to put the opponent under pressure with fast attacks. Another advantage is that the rubber forgives inaccuracies in ball contact, leading to better precision. The Genius harmonizes best with a spin-oriented topspin game, and the special rubber compound of the topsheet ensures longer durability.

More dynamics in topspin play: Tibhar Genius+ Optimum

The further development of the Tibhar Genius is called Genius+ Optimum and, as the name suggests, promises more speed and spin. The sponge of the rubber is slightly harder than that of the Genius, but feels even somewhat softer when playing. In addition, the geometry of the pimples in the topsheet has been optimized, so that the Genius+ Optimum produces a very similar trajectory, but plays even spinnier than its predecessor. With its higher basic speed, this rubber is ideal for an efficient attacking game with dynamic topspins. Thanks to the modified topsheet, both very spinny openings at the table and powerful counter-topspins from mid-distance are the great strength of the Tibhar Genius+ Optimum.

Conclusion on the Tibhar Genius rubbers:

The two Genius rubbers are a great option for spin-oriented offensive play. The Genius is the variant for safe, medium-fast attacks, while the Genius+ Optimum is the better option for more powerful attackers. Regardless of the basic speed of the two rubbers, the outstanding spin potential is a strong argument for the Genius rubbers.
