Speed	9.3
Spin $<b>Spin</b> is the amount of ball rotation generated by the rubber. This is affected by the rubber\'s tackiness, sponge thickness, sponge hardness as well as the blade\'s flexibility.$	8.3
Control	7.8
Tackiness $<b>Tackiness</b> refers to the level of stickiness of the rubber surface. Traditional Chinese rubbers are usually tacky enough to lift a ball off the table by pressing the rubber on top of the ball, whereas traditional European and Japanese rubbers do not.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Very tacky</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Tacky</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium tacky</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Slightly tacky</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Completely non-tacky</td></tr></table>$	4.0 - Slightly tacky
Throw Angle $<b>Throw Angle</b> is the angle that the ball is projected from strokes like the loop. Assuming the loop stroke is the same, a high throw angle will lift the ball higher. Tacky rubbers often have a higher throw angle.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>9+</td><td>Very high</td></tr><tr><td>7 - 9</td><td>High</td></tr><tr><td>5.5 - 7</td><td>Medium-high</td></tr><tr><td>3.5 - 5.5</td><td>Medium</td></tr><tr><td>1.5 - 3.5</td><td>Medium-low</td></tr><tr><td>Under 1.5</td><td>Low</td></tr></table>$	6.0 - Medium-high

Gears $<b>Gears</b> refers to a rubber\'s ability to produce a wide range of speeds. A rubber with a wide range of speeds (many gears) can produce slow speeds (on gentle strokes) and high speeds (on hard strokes). With few gears, you may always produce fairly slow balls, or always produce fairly fast balls on lighter and harder strokes.$	4.0 - Average

Description of Tibhar Rapid D.TecS

This rubber remains easy to control although it is a very fast rubber. The player will enjoy this rubber thanks to the integrated Spin-Speed-Dynamic because he will be able to convert a passive game into an offensive game. The high speed and increased rotations are almost unpredictable for the adversary and therefore extremely dangerous. The player has a weapon in his hands and can put his adversary under pressure at any time.

great for backhand. Fast controllable and pretty spinny although not very tacky.

i love this rubber for forehand. i find it to be very versatile, with great responsiveness to varying degrees of effort (gears, as they call them). makes a nice sound, great feeling, excellent offensive rubber. one of the first to offer the speed-glue effect, which gives you valuable microseconds of dwell and more springiness. compared to newer rubbers it pales, but i still feel my technique isn't able to extract all the power it offers, which means i have to get better and it's not the rubber holding me back ;)

it's a shame it's being discontinued. an alternative i can think of is genius - when i tried it, i found it to have the same "feeling" when looping.

i also know other players who love it on backhand, for it's great feeling, variability and consistent power.
