Although nowadays there are numerous modern rubbers with a huge variety of technologies, some table tennis players still swear by classical rubbers without an integrated speed-gluing effect. One of these rubbers is the
from Tibhar, for example. The Spin series offers three differently matched rubbers, suitable for different gaming systems.
For a game based on maximum control & much spin: Tibhar Vari Spin
Even though the
Tibhar Vari Spin is on the market since several years, this classic table tennis rubber is still one of the most popular rubbers from Tibhar. This allround rubber exhibits optimized control, is equipped with a relatively soft sponge, and has a very catchy topsheet. Its enormous spin allows a safe game with effective spin versions and spin changes.
The immense variability of the Vari Spin enables not only sensitive openers, but also precise backspin balls. Depending on the sponge thickness, you can use this rubber from Tibhar in a variable way: The thinner versions are recommended for beginners and allrounders, whereas the thicker sponges also support a controlled attacking game (ALL+/OFF-)
Even more fun when playing at the same control: Tibhar Vari Spin D. tecs
The
Tibhar Vari Spin D. tecs unites the popular gaming properties of the classical Vari Spin with the so called D. tecs technology. Within the topsheet and sponge, this technology causes a kind of integrated, slight state of internal tension. Due to this, there is a slightly increased overall speed (compared to the Vari Spin) leading to more possibilities in terms of the offensiveness.
Despite this, the Vari Spin D. tecs still exhibits a good control and feeling for the game. This is indeed quite similar to the Vari Speed! Taking these considerations together, the Dtecs is a rubber suitable for all active allrounders who judge themselves OFF- players.
Direct, hard, and powerful: Tibhar Speedy Spin
When comparing the
Tibhar Speedy Spin with the other classical rubbers, you will find a similar gaming behavior. However, the Speedy Spin is clearly faster than the others. This offensive table tennis rubber is made of a soft, topsheet, however, this is not prone to spin. This rubber also contains a medium-hard and dynamical sponge.
Hence, the Speedy Spin is highly suitable for the attacking game based on a high overall speed (either close to the table, or from the mid distance). The bounce of the ball can be described as flat causing trouble for your opponent to successfully react and return to your attacks. The relatively low susceptibility to spin allows very variable and safe returns. Also, controlled blocks and counters go off the hand precisely and easily. The astonishing speed and directness of this table tennis rubber from Tibhar are the main reasons as to why it is worth a recommendation for aggressive offensive players aiming to score by means of hard strokes.
Summary on the Tibhar Spin rubbers
With the Spin rubber series, Tibhar has released a very interesting series with classical rubbers. No matter if you are searching for a passive allrounder or an uncompromisingly offensive table tennis rubber, the Tibhar Spin series has them all. A further advantage of classical rubbers without a pronounced catapult effect (which is by the way often neglected) is that the speed of the rubber is maintained for a longer period of time. Hence, you can enjoy the great gaming properties for longer.
