Awesome rubber for a specific style of game.
strengths....0.5 sponge..using Barricade blade
1. Lightest inverted rubber out there. Only 20-25 grams.
2. Huuuge spin for a slow non tensor. My first Tihbar and man can it create backspin
3. Open ups.....I've never seen a rubber with such a slow speed and high spin ratio (even Chinese). Over the table BH I can flick and the ball clears net by 3 feet and lands 2.5 feet from the end of the table still. I've never seen a rubber that can do that.
4. Speed......slow enough for great control but fast enough for a passive block to clear the net.
I wish more companies made different variations of this rubber...or Tihbar made a rubber like this but more for Block
The biggest weakness of this rubber is it's block. Most close to table players are blockers....the Throw is so slow and so high that the blocks will be attacked again with easy. Maybe I have to change my style and try to attack more to take advantage of that high throw. I like it more on my BH cause of the flick open ups.
So yeah maybe a blocking version of this rubber with lower throw ....same weight...probably sacrifice some spin for a better block. I'm obsessed about having a super light setup and this is the only inverted rubber weight I can handle playing with that doesn't make my blade feel like a brick. Great for a compliment rubber for an Anti or LP player.

Reviews of Tibhar Super Defense 40 (7)
I use a Primorac OFF+ blade with Dr Evil with .5 mm (sponge that I put on myself), and have Tibhar super defence 40 .5mm sponge on the forehand. Finally my forehands are going in instead of flying off the end all the time. With 2mm sponge I just cannot feel any dwell time, so I went to .5 mm sponge on both sides, and now can feel the dwell time on my bat. The forehand is a touch slower but quick enough to hit winners. It has a lot of control and has given me the confidence needed on my forehand, which has been a weakness. I am happy with this rubber.
I am reviewing the thin versions 0,5 and 0,9. With proper stroke you can make deadly under spin. Great for hitting but difficult to perform topspin. The blocks are deceptive and hard to be returned by the opponents.Despite its name, is a very efficient allround backhand rubber. As I said above, except topspin the rubber excels in all other kind of strokes.
Fort a defensive rubber and the soft one this is a wonderful BH rubber sheet offering high spin and speed without being too tacky or even a pimples out sheet. It is a very good sheet and one worth trying.
The Super Defence is not only a rubber for cutting defence. It´s really interesting for players blocking near thr table. It´s not as soft as most defensive rubbers. When you are blocking, the ball falls down really early, so it`s not so easy for your opponent.
