Review of Tibhar Sinus SoundHave tested Sinus Sound Max. on Donic WSUC blade (water glue). Well, overall very good rubber, very linear as tensor - ball will never pop-up high without occasion especially on BH, THE BEST FEELING - You can barely feel when the ball bites, good control, good spin. Yes, it's very linear - I can even chop without problems using it on a carbon blade. Ball's flying trajectory is low, but not too low and feels very natural.
One of the most important characteristics - lifting a topspin, and Sinus Sound is pretty amazing in that area, has a strong bite and good dwell time to do that, easy both on FH and BH.
But one cons. As I've encountered, many of Tibhar rubbers shines the first 5-7 hours of play. As well as Sinus Sound. When You unpack it and glue to a blade, it feels PERFECT - very loud click noise on topsin and sometimes just insane spin. But all it's gone after some hours. So it's some dissapointment. But the strong bite remains after a 1.5 month, training 3 times a week for 2-3 hours each time.
In conclusion - very pleasant to play rubber. Some would say it is soft, but I don't feel this softness when glued on Donic WSUC. It is not mushy at all.
I'm a little bit advanced player, mixed European/Chinese style, shakehand grip, strong BH topspin and strong flat punch-block, strong FH topspin and strong flat hitting.
So despite Sinus Sound is Rated as very soft, in fact it has enough power to make a BH loop-kill.

Xiom Vega Europe

Review of Xiom Vega EuropeOverall a very good and linear rubber.
But You should use it on a medium or hard carbon blade. I'm using it red max. on a Donic Waldner Senso Ultra Carbon, and it's perfect on BH. I can topspin backspin easilly, it has many gears for me, spin, speed, blocks and control are great. Nice short play, enough power from mid distance. Not bouncy, throw is very linear comparing to other tensors.
But on a standard all-wood Tibhar Stratus Power Wood it feels mushy, too slow etc.
So in conclusion, it is really good as BH rubber on a harder carbon blades.

Yasaka Rakza X Soft
|
Review of Yasaka Rakza X SoftWhat a heavy rubber! Just glued Rakza X Soft in Max. thickness on my blade - crazy heavy! Heavier than Tinarc 3 in Max., heavier than Tenergy 05, Heavier than DHS Hurricane 3 series, heavier than anything I've ever tried. I believe according to the physics weight of the rubber creates better momentum on ball contact, but... Just can't believe it is SO HEAVY! Insane! My old 5-ply wood blade weights around 71 grams, and with glued Tinarc 3 Max. and Hurricane H3-50 the racket weight was 171 gram. Changed Hurricane to Rakza X Soft Max., and racket weight increased to 178 grams! Just crazy!
