Speed	/
Spin	/
Tensor $<b>Tensor Rubber</b> - Tensor rubbers have a pre-tensioned rubber topsheet, already pulled tighter so it has some built in catapult effect to increase speed and spin. Normal rubbers don\'t have extra tension.$	Yes

From community:

Speed	8.7
Spin $<b>Spin</b> is the amount of ball rotation generated by the rubber. This is affected by the rubber\'s tackiness, sponge thickness, sponge hardness as well as the blade\'s flexibility.$	9.1
Control	8.6
Tackiness $<b>Tackiness</b> refers to the level of stickiness of the rubber surface. Traditional Chinese rubbers are usually tacky enough to lift a ball off the table by pressing the rubber on top of the ball, whereas traditional European and Japanese rubbers do not.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Very tacky</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Tacky</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium tacky</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Slightly tacky</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Completely non-tacky</td></tr></table>$	3.3 - Slightly tacky
Throw Angle $<b>Throw Angle</b> is the angle that the ball is projected from strokes like the loop. Assuming the loop stroke is the same, a high throw angle will lift the ball higher. Tacky rubbers often have a higher throw angle.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>9+</td><td>Very high</td></tr><tr><td>7 - 9</td><td>High</td></tr><tr><td>5.5 - 7</td><td>Medium-high</td></tr><tr><td>3.5 - 5.5</td><td>Medium</td></tr><tr><td>1.5 - 3.5</td><td>Medium-low</td></tr><tr><td>Under 1.5</td><td>Low</td></tr></table>$	5.6 - Medium-high
Weight	5.4 - Medium-heavy
Sponge Hardness $<b>Sponge Hardness</b> refers to the density of the sponge. This is measured in degrees:<table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td><td>Degrees</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Hard</td><td>45+ degrees</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Medium Hard</td><td>43-44 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium</td><td>41-42 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Medium Soft</td><td>38-40 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Soft</td><td>under 37 degrees</td></tr></table>$	5.5 - Medium
Gears $<b>Gears</b> refers to a rubber\'s ability to produce a wide range of speeds. A rubber with a wide range of speeds (many gears) can produce slow speeds (on gentle strokes) and high speeds (on hard strokes). With few gears, you may always produce fairly slow balls, or always produce fairly fast balls on lighter and harder strokes.$	8.0 - Many gears
Durability	7.5 - Lasts longer than average
Consistency	9.1
Overall	9.0 4.5

tried this on a borrowed paddle, it played different from other tensor. the topsheet looks less fragile and definitely has more grip than other tensor, however it's not as spinny as tenergys or boosts. however in terms of spin this is a great improvement in comparism to other esn-rubbers.

sponge hardness is about the same as platin soft.

Switched from Tenergy05 but this one is feels quite different. Feels slow, soft but feels more tacky and spinny. This rubber needs a harder sponge IMO then it will be much better.
Durability is horrible compare to Tenergy. Not even close. Sponge does not stick very well. Needs 2-3 gluing before it completely stick. I'm a Tibhar fan but I'm going back to Tenergy or Vega.

Very nice rubber!
Very good control and spin. Fast as needed.
Switched from Tenergy 64 on my Donic Waldner Senso Carbon because it was too hard.
Durability: 4 months of play, 7 hours a week, and its seems like new, or near.

The best rubber I've used!

This was a disappointment. it is meant to be spinny with spring-like sponge to give nice trajectory but this is not the case. the sponge feels very soft with little bouncing and the sheet is not gripy to apply heavy spin. it is not good at all for serving and looping. what this rubber does nicely though is blocking.

wow, great!!! the spin is amazing!!! it is faster then the tenergy 05 and with a lot of control!!!

Anonymous said this on November 8, 2011:

very good spinny tensor rubber. its not blazingly fast but definitely not a slow rubber at all. one of the best rubbers i have tried and very good value for the money

Amazing rubber!!! Great speed, spin and excellent control. I cant tell you how easy is to play with this rubber.

I tried a lot in the past and found my rubber. Is perfect in 1,8 mm and better than tenergys. Creates spinny serves, good blocking and powerful topspins.

I Probe this rubber , but my sensation was very poor, this rubber lokks like tacky chinese rubber.

The spin is not sufficient to create high arcs.

I like TIbhar very match but sorry i don´t like this nothing. I'm go back to Aurus, for me is very better

igszoctan said this on May 25, 2012:

Less speed and spin than T05 but much better control and far less sensitivity to incoming spin. Still experimenting which blade to pair with. Any advice? Viva seems perfect but I don't want to make a rush decision. Stiga Allround NCT or TBS are the forerunners.

bad for BH
just my opinion though

I play Maze T-teh OFF, FH T64FX 1.9, BH T05FX 1.7 or T64FX 1.7. I had the opportunity
to test several Tibhar's new blades and rubbers (2 weeks).
The rubber Genius is soft so the blade is better to be hard. I tested the Genius 1.7-1.8
on several different blades and found the most suitable is Tibhar Combat (new design).
This combination is perfect for attacking game close to table and mid distance. Spin is
very well controlled so I was able to perform spin as I wanted (short or long, low or
hight arc, more or less rotation). My opponent said me that he had a lot of problems to
understand the spin because my movement of the hand seemed always the same.
Direct hiting was also perfect (almost effortless) regardless the ball rotation, the same
was flipping.
Short to short was is good, blocking also.
Regarding service can't tell because my opponent is very good in returnig. Nevertheless
I presume the service should be good (the spinner opponent hit quite a few balls in net).
The Genius is definitely nice rubber for FH and just a very little less for BH (but also
good).
And, as I always claimed, the other side rubber effects the tested one, so your experience
using Genius might be different in case you play Genius in a pair of some other rubber.
