Speed	112.0 /
Spin	110.0 /
Control	84.0 /
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	8.3
Spin $<b>Spin</b> is the amount of ball rotation generated by the rubber. This is affected by the rubber\'s tackiness, sponge thickness, sponge hardness as well as the blade\'s flexibility.$	9.3
Control	8.0
Tackiness $<b>Tackiness</b> refers to the level of stickiness of the rubber surface. Traditional Chinese rubbers are usually tacky enough to lift a ball off the table by pressing the rubber on top of the ball, whereas traditional European and Japanese rubbers do not.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Very tacky</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Tacky</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium tacky</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Slightly tacky</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Completely non-tacky</td></tr></table>$	5.7 - Medium tacky
Throw Angle $<b>Throw Angle</b> is the angle that the ball is projected from strokes like the loop. Assuming the loop stroke is the same, a high throw angle will lift the ball higher. Tacky rubbers often have a higher throw angle.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>9+</td><td>Very high</td></tr><tr><td>7 - 9</td><td>High</td></tr><tr><td>5.5 - 7</td><td>Medium-high</td></tr><tr><td>3.5 - 5.5</td><td>Medium</td></tr><tr><td>1.5 - 3.5</td><td>Medium-low</td></tr><tr><td>Under 1.5</td><td>Low</td></tr></table>$	7.0 - Medium-high
Weight	7.0 - Medium-heavy
Sponge Hardness $<b>Sponge Hardness</b> refers to the density of the sponge. This is measured in degrees:<table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td><td>Degrees</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Hard</td><td>45+ degrees</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Medium Hard</td><td>43-44 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium</td><td>41-42 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Medium Soft</td><td>38-40 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Soft</td><td>under 37 degrees</td></tr></table>$	7.8 - Medium-hard
Gears $<b>Gears</b> refers to a rubber\'s ability to produce a wide range of speeds. A rubber with a wide range of speeds (many gears) can produce slow speeds (on gentle strokes) and high speeds (on hard strokes). With few gears, you may always produce fairly slow balls, or always produce fairly fast balls on lighter and harder strokes.$	8.3 - Many gears
Durability	8.0 - Lasts longer than average
Consistency	10.0

Description of Tibhar Grip-S Europe

Grip-S Europe was developed in combination with Vladimir Samsonov and adapted to his personal requirements in order to produce a high-performance rubber. The rubber convinces by its high catapult effect and compared to the regular Grip-S, Grip-S Europe confers more dynamic and speed. Under extreme strokes the ball contact onto the stable and adhering rubber surface is unequalled and opens even in almost desperate situations, absolute new possibilities. We have integrated the revolutionary RPS â�� Sponge- Technology into Grip-S Europe, thus enabling the energy transfer to have an absolute optimal effect on the speed of the ball rebounce and on the ball trajectory. With this rubber you are best equipped for a variety-rich serve and return game.

Reviews of the Tibhar Grip-S Europe

Still testing, but this is a top product of modern rubber technology, used in red max (?2.3mm) version. Lots of comparisons are made with Blue Whale 2 and 3. Haven't tried BW2, but this seems significantly lighter than BW3, and probably better - best thing since sliced bread, in fact

Dreamlooper said this on October 25, 2011:

very fast chinese rubber with european style cause topsheet is only a little bit tacky and surface is relatively flexibel

you can produce really heavy spin,
on services and on top spins

the 1. top is very easy,

very linear rubber, not for killers, but for heavy loopers

i play the europe on a jonyer hinoki special

for player who like more catapult i recommend a 7 plied hinoki blade like Darker 7P 2A or a flexibel,bigger balsa blade

only for skilled players with lots of technical support can feel the real power of the rubber very good red sponge :o)

Heavy rubber, 52 grams cut to Tibhar Stratus Powerwood. Very grippy topsheet, not tacky at all. Sponge is harder than Omega IV Pro and Sigma Pro. Very good spin but also very reactive to spin. Looping on backhand away from table quite nice with some catapult but seemed slow when chopping or pushing. Fast when hit properly, Interesting rubber, at the moment I am leaning to Omega IV pro on Backhand as allround game better in attack and defence. This would probably suit those who prefer chinese style rubber with some Euro qualities.
