Review of Loki Arthur EuropePretty damn good medium rubber. (the sponge is medium hard but the topsheet is medium because the inverted pimples break easy so the ball grips nicely). Highly reccomend for backhand, for easy flip opening, active and passive blocks like a charm. It is not as springy as the Diamond version but you dont have to engage the sponge as much as with the Diamond to get spin because this one is more grippy. Due to medium soft topsheet you don't get a lot of spin sensitivity. Would not reccomend for forehand when you like driving from mid to far distance. It lacks the grip for those hard drives (RXTON 5 works way better for me here)Sep 11, 2021 | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Review of Tibhar Aurus SoftHi, i'm was playing Andro Hexer and Xiom Omega EU V on my stronger backhand. Those were rly good rubbers an fit my playing style which is bh-flicking short serves with banana and smashing close to table looping / driving with backhand when in mid / half mid distance. After an ankle injury I am too slow to be in the right position to play my strokes so i was making more unforced errors(the Katapult of these rubbers wich i liked - became too much to handle).This is where I discoveredAurus soft. It plays very similar to these rubbers but its slower(sponge feels medium-soft) less catapulteffect due to the relative hard tosheet. Throwangle is for such a soft sponge high so perfect for looping. The grippy firm topsheet bites the ball so you have good dwell even on stiff blades which reduces unforced errors. Short play - rly good because its not that bouncy(1.9 mm). Players who like the forgiveness of softer sponges but dont like the mushy feeling this rubber may be an answer because of the firm topsheet it provides a more direct feeling than most of the rubbers with similar medium to medium-soft sponge. I would recommend this rubber to players looking for more control. Perfect rubber to transmit from classic rubbers like Mark V to tensor or just to start playing and develop strokes. Because when driving, the ball gets a good amount of spin and speed and with the control you get you can outplay the oponent. A teammate uses 2 layers falco long booted Palio Biotech 36°-38° and Aurus soft pays like it with better spin potential and without having to boost. Jan 28, 2018 | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Review of Xiom Omega V EuroVery good BH rubber. It shines when it comes to control - that was the main reason i went for it. The transition from Andro Hexer to this one was very easy (imo it plays nearly identical). Due to its spin insensitiv character my backhand became much more relyable. When generating sping you have to engage sponge because of the completely nontacky surface. But when you do it generates superb spin even on short fast strokes -> perfect for backhand flips, openers and drives.Oct 03, 2017 | |||||||||||||||||||||
