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	9.1
Spin $<b>Spin</b> is the amount of ball rotation generated by the rubber. This is affected by the rubber\'s tackiness, sponge thickness, sponge hardness as well as the blade\'s flexibility.$	8.7
Control	8.2
Tackiness $<b>Tackiness</b> refers to the level of stickiness of the rubber surface. Traditional Chinese rubbers are usually tacky enough to lift a ball off the table by pressing the rubber on top of the ball, whereas traditional European and Japanese rubbers do not.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Very tacky</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Tacky</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium tacky</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Slightly tacky</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Completely non-tacky</td></tr></table>$	3.1 - Slightly tacky
Throw Angle $<b>Throw Angle</b> is the angle that the ball is projected from strokes like the loop. For a topspin loop, a high throw angle will lift the ball higher. Tacky rubbers often have a higher throw angle. <br><br><b>Note: This rating refers to the topspin strokes only.</b> On an underspin chop, the same rubber with a high throw angle will actually produce a very low angle on a chop (it is reversed). This rubber should still be rated as high throw since the rating refers to topspin.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>9+</td><td>Very high</td></tr><tr><td>7 - 9</td><td>High</td></tr><tr><td>5.5 - 7</td><td>Medium-high</td></tr><tr><td>3.5 - 5.5</td><td>Medium</td></tr><tr><td>1.5 - 3.5</td><td>Medium-low</td></tr><tr><td>Under 1.5</td><td>Low</td></tr></table>$	5.1 - Medium
Weight	4.5 - Average
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 $<b>Gears</b> refers to a rubber\'s ability to produce a wide range of speeds. A rubber with a wide range of speeds (many gears) can produce slow speeds (on gentle strokes) and high speeds (on hard strokes). With few gears, you may always produce fairly slow balls, or always produce fairly fast balls on lighter and harder strokes.$	6.5 - Above average gears
Durability	5.3 - Average durability
Consistency	6.3
Overall	8.9 4.5

Description of Tibhar Nimbus

This new TIBHAR rubber is ahead of its time.
With TIBHAR NIMBUS, speed glue is no longer necessary! Because the new NIMBUS -SPI includes TIBHAR's newly developed speedglue integrated configuration. This design encompasses all the exciting and essential factors that speedglue normally brings to your rubber. So now NIMBUS - without the speedglue application has the incredible Spin-Speed-Dynamic plus typical sound and ball contact feeling of a freshly speed glued rubber sheet. In readiness for the glue ban in 2007, top players will now be armed and well equipped to make the adjustment!

Tensor rubber.
Spongerating: Medium (medium+)

Reviews of the Tibhar Nimbus

A very fast looping rubber. It feels like only half the effort is needed to get the same speed with a regular rubber. Sponge is advertised as 45 degrees but feels considerable softer when looping. Short game however suffers. Basically any shot that requires a lot of dwell time suffers. The ball sinks into the sponge and then is immediately ejected. If not timed correctly short touch shots will pop up. Is faster than Tenergy 05, not as spinny as Tenergy 05, but still spinny. This rubber wears out very quickly. I had it for about 1.5 months and afterwards the glue effect wore off. No more click, less spin, less speed. This rubber is great during the first month, but wears out too quickly

Great rubber for block and fast attack but not much spin

Currently using it as a FH rubber. Speedlooping underspins resulting in massive spin feels amazingly easy. Played BH with it, speed was incredible with control and spin, especially from mid-distance. Blocks and drives like a beast. Playing with it for 3 months now, still has good speed and control, with spin lacking a bit. Still a good rubber. I would advise fast movers with controlled-aggression game to use it. Very versatile.

If you feel tenergy is heavy this rubber is for you. I have tried everything from bryce to magna without the speed glue this rubber is the prfection in itself, speedy but not uncontrolable, spiny but not tacky, countering blocking is amazing the best of all. But do not use it more than one month and a half if you are a professional.

Fast rubber good for blocks and smashes. Looping is harder as the sponge is stiff. Agreed that short game suffers, not spinny enough during pushes.

I have this rubber for about 1 year at my forehand and it's very durable

This is one off the fastest rubbers i ever had, it's a good one for your bh, but it's uncontrollable for your fh.

Josip said this on November 17, 2011:

Very good. I used it on my FH for 2 months, then i switched to BH and it was great! Since then i use only this rubber on my BH.
Sorry for bad english...

I think this rubber has a lot of spin (just put some WD40 on the sponge and rubber surface when you feel that the rubber loses its spin (you can try this also on other rubbers !!!)
pushing short is very difficult , very good for looping and smashing , can also block , very good rubber for attacking style of play, if you hit the ball right you can produce really monstrous balls with it, not suited for beginners , sometimes the ball just shoots away like a rocket, some click sound when you hit the ball right
