Tibhar 5Q Update

Very good rubber, high spin and speed, high arc and control. Fantastic to play with, very similar to tenergy 05 fx and xiom vega pro. Loops and drives are lethal . Sponge is porous orange medium hard very elastic, top sheet is very grippy also some what elastic. I tried the tibhar evolution series didn't like as much as this one, they were too fast with less spin and control. You have to try this one to find out, highly recommended for spin oriented attackers.

what a backhand rubber this is !!! highly impressed !! grip, tackiness is gooood !! medium sponge allows a lot of control in topspins from over the table ..... pushes are excellent even at extreme angles ... not very sensitive to incoming spin and hence good at blocking (unlike its predecessor 5Q which was very reactive to incoming spin) .... can play powerful BH topspins even from mid-far distance..... overall, the best BH rubber I have played so far !!

Nothing special about the 'Update'. The old version of 5Q was much better in terms of spin and control. The speed is really good. It can create power even from mid distance as well as far away from the table. spin is not much. It suits players who have more flat hitting game. It is not much suited for looping. It has an average spin. Incase you have a looping or more spin based game, this is not the rubber to go to. PROS:- Great speed, receiving is good, power even away from the table. CONS:- Controlling the rubber might be a problem for some people, not great for looping, slightly expensive.
