Tibhar Aurus

Updates : after almost 1 and half year using Aurus, I would like to update or conclude that Aurus is simply the best, outstanding in terms of : 1) Service - easy to execute spinny serve either short or long 2 ) Service return - with confident as it is insensitive towards the incoming spin 3) Push - easy to execute either short or long 4) Flick - superb damn fast, it will surprise your opponent especially backhand flick or chiquita. 5) Loop / Counter Loop - awesome and fantastic easy to lift up underspin ball, my killing machine especially on my BH (thanks to Kreanga! ) 6) Blocking - awesome, effortless... No matter how hard is your opponent hit/drive/loop the ball, it will steadily bounce back into the opponent side, depends on your angle whether you want it sharp / low or high..cool For me Aurus deserved 9.9 /10 or 5 star rating, totally satisfied...

high throw, medium-hard, decent speed (not a lot of catapult, less than mxp, less than m2), but spinny.

Aurus is that "do it all" rubber. Tested both in FH and BH, and it's good for everything. The sponge is hard, but the topsheet is soft, so you get a sensation of feeling the ball penetrate, and than explode it away, and that's great.

I switched from this rubber a while ago, and since switching I've been through about 5 or 6 backhand rubbers and none have satisfied as much as Aurus did. Serves are solid. Good spin, and easy enough to keep them short. Blocks are great. The throw is medium high but its extremely consistent which is all you can ask from a rubber in order to have quality blocks. Get used the blade angles and you'll be fine. Counters are great. Fast, very controllable, and again extremely consistent. Pushes are just fine. It's nice and controllable at slow speeds. It's not horribly jumpy at slow speeds which is nice for touch. Loops are great. It's a good fast rubber with decent dwell time. This rubber has extremely strong grip especially as you sink the ball deeper into the sponge. This rubber although I only played it on the backhand I could see just about anyone be able to play this rubber on either side. It is excellent. I highly recommend it. I would be playing it right now but I have greener grass syndrome.

good but not so durable.
