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	9.4
Spin $<b>Spin</b> is the amount of ball rotation generated by the rubber. This is affected by the rubber\'s tackiness, sponge thickness, sponge hardness as well as the blade\'s flexibility.$	8.6
Control	7.2
Tackiness $<b>Tackiness</b> refers to the level of stickiness of the rubber surface. Traditional Chinese rubbers are usually tacky enough to lift a ball off the table by pressing the rubber on top of the ball, whereas traditional European and Japanese rubbers do not.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Very tacky</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Tacky</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium tacky</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Slightly tacky</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Completely non-tacky</td></tr></table>$	3.8 - Slightly tacky
Throw Angle $<b>Throw Angle</b> is the angle that the ball is projected from strokes like the loop. Assuming the loop stroke is the same, a high throw angle will lift the ball higher. Tacky rubbers often have a higher throw angle.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>9+</td><td>Very high</td></tr><tr><td>7 - 9</td><td>High</td></tr><tr><td>5.5 - 7</td><td>Medium-high</td></tr><tr><td>3.5 - 5.5</td><td>Medium</td></tr><tr><td>1.5 - 3.5</td><td>Medium-low</td></tr><tr><td>Under 1.5</td><td>Low</td></tr></table>$	4.8 - Medium
Weight	4.2 - Average
Sponge Hardness $<b>Sponge Hardness</b> refers to the density of the sponge. This is measured in degrees:<table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td><td>Degrees</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Hard</td><td>45+ degrees</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Medium Hard</td><td>43-44 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium</td><td>41-42 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Medium Soft</td><td>38-40 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Soft</td><td>under 37 degrees</td></tr></table>$	5.6 - Medium
Gears $<b>Gears</b> refers to a rubber\'s ability to produce a wide range of speeds. A rubber with a wide range of speeds (many gears) can produce slow speeds (on gentle strokes) and high speeds (on hard strokes). With few gears, you may always produce fairly slow balls, or always produce fairly fast balls on lighter and harder strokes.$	6.6 - Above average gears
Durability	6.3 - Lasts longer than average
Consistency	10.0
Overall	9.2 4.6

Description of Tibhar Sinus

TIBHAR SINUS was developed especially for high-performance sport. Because high-performance players always favoured harder sponges for powerful play, TIBHAR SINUS was purposely fitted with a relative hard sponge in response. It is almost impossible to surpass this rubber. During stroke execution players feel that they can transmit tremendous speed to the ball despite small movement. The sponge combined with the adhering and elastic Sinus surface impresses by its rotation behaviour, proving advantageous to the player during topspin strokes but also and especially during services and short exchanges. A new rotation era has now being achieved. Despite the relatively hard sponge, SINUS provides the ever popular fresh-glue sound.

Reviews of the Tibhar Sinus

DeVoured said this on March 20, 2009:

This is the rubber i have been looking for:
i looked for something, with that you can play hard blocks but also spinny loops.
however, soft loops are a bit more difficult that hard loops, yet both are very spinny. short game is well controllable.

sponge hardness is between Coppa Platin soft and Coppa Platin, so no wonder if got boths attributes: awesome blocking and awesome looping.

great choice for a backhand rubber, for my forehand it's a bit too hard though

First off, I use Sinus on my backhand. Tibhar Sinus has 2 gears, fast and faster. Blocking and punch blocking were very consistent and fast. Great for looping as previously mentioned and there is just enough tack on the topsheet for some decent flips too. I'm still having a little trouble pushing with this rubber. The pushes are spinny, but a tad too high in my oppinion. If you are looking for a glue "click" sound, this is NOT the rubber you want. Sinus is very quiet unless smashing. Compared directly to Bty Ten 05, Sinus has fewer gears and is less bouncy on soft shots. Overall this is a good post glue ban rubber. Soft elastic topsheet, medium sponge, medium throw.

a friend gives me his blade with two tibhar sinus on a SK7 blade. this rubber is very fast and a lot of gears. it's good rubber. but the problem is it durability. this rubber only can you use 1 or 2 months. and the same in sinus family. i recomend that you try to use genius family because it's more durable. nimbus it's poor durability too.

Just tried it for one day, the impression is:
1. Violent! Even more than acuda s1, express x-plode.
2. The feeling is also a bit harder and directer
3. The surface is not tacky but graspy enough for short service
4. Harder to control in small gears

This rubber is very fast and produces a good amount of spin of the ball. I miss some of the flexibility from the rubber. The control is not the best, but still good.
The biggest downside is the rubber is not very durable. It last only for a month or two.

Overall is a good OFF rubber, for fast play.
