Tibhar Legend Destroyer

Speed	8.9
Spin $<b>Spin</b> is the amount of ball rotation generated by the rubber. This is affected by the rubber\'s tackiness, sponge thickness, sponge hardness as well as the blade\'s flexibility.$	9.4
Control	9.0
Weight	2.0
Gears $<b>Gears</b> refers to a rubber\'s ability to produce a wide range of speeds. A rubber with a wide range of speeds (many gears) can produce slow speeds (on gentle strokes) and high speeds (on hard strokes). With few gears, you may always produce fairly slow balls, or always produce fairly fast balls on lighter and harder strokes.$	10.0

Tackiness $<b>Tackiness</b> refers to the level of stickiness of the rubber surface. Traditional Chinese rubbers are usually tacky enough to lift a ball off the table by pressing the rubber on top of the ball, whereas traditional European and Japanese rubbers do not.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Very tacky</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Tacky</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium tacky</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Slightly tacky</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Completely non-tacky</td></tr></table>$	10.0
Throw Angle $<b>Throw Angle</b> is the angle that the ball is projected from strokes like the loop. Assuming the loop stroke is the same, a high throw angle will lift the ball higher. Tacky rubbers often have a higher throw angle.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>9+</td><td>Very high</td></tr><tr><td>7 - 9</td><td>High</td></tr><tr><td>5.5 - 7</td><td>Medium-high</td></tr><tr><td>3.5 - 5.5</td><td>Medium</td></tr><tr><td>1.5 - 3.5</td><td>Medium-low</td></tr><tr><td>Under 1.5</td><td>Low</td></tr></table>$	8.0
Sponge Hardness $<b>Sponge Hardness</b> refers to the density of the sponge. This is measured in degrees:<table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td><td>Degrees</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Hard</td><td>45+ degrees</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Medium Hard</td><td>43-44 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium</td><td>41-42 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Medium Soft</td><td>38-40 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Soft</td><td>under 37 degrees</td></tr></table>$	7.0

Review of Tibhar Legend Destroyer

I just got this rubber today, it is a Chinese topsheet with a Japanese sponge. i took off my Nimbuses and pasted these on to my super fast Galaxy T-2 carbon. I did not expect it to be this good; it is much spinnier than the Nimbus and it has a lot more control. I usually look at the control and am like ya bullsh** whatever, but this one is amazing. I lost a considerable amount of speed compared to my nimbus but i gained a lot more consistency. My backhand loop goes in all the time and my forehand loop has uncontrollable topspin. My playing partner made like two balls in then it either hit the net or flew past the table because he could not control it like my Nimbus. A hard but very loud sponge is what I like but some people don't like hard sponges so ya, heads up. My serves are much spinnier now like everything else. If you play with tensor rubber and switch to this you will be amazed at how consistent you will become. Very light, very tacky, very spinny, not fast, lot of control, many gears, high throw angle.
