External Review for Tibhar Aurus Select on February 3, 2023

Revised review! - I think the overall rating for this rubber is an understatement!!! ... the rubber can't hold the ball, but it has decent grip. Years ago (2021) I was searching for a rubber with a 45 degree sponge hardness and so I found a test/review about the Tibhar Aurus Select in a German TT-Blog. By chance I had a few days later a Butterfly Zhang Jike TAMCA 5000, with two 1.7 mm AURUS Select, in my hand. ... Crazy !!! ;-P - what a wonderful direct and save game feeling. ( ... a few weeks later I bought this rubber! )
Facts: red rubber with 1,7 mm sponge and a 45 degree sponge hardness. According to "Spin & Speed Germany ;-P, the total hardness of the rubber is 50 degrees !!! (... together with the medium-hard upper rubber.) Weight incl. package 85 g. , uncut 60 g. and at last 43 g. (157 x 150 mm)
Glued on my STUOR Nobilis ZLC Hinoki blade, I had to recognize, that this rubber is too soft for me here. The wonderfully direct and save feeling, which I had on the "Z.JK. TAMCA 5000", was away. (... which is why I "had" to buy this blade a few weeks later! ;-P ) - despite all this, I was soon able to get used to the rubber (with 1.7 mm) as a really good BH rubber !!!
Conclusion: The Aurus Select is very controlled and forgiving rubber with above-average spin properties and a higher trajectory. ... best for players of (almost) all classes, as FH or BH rubber. Only the so-called "angular play" is easier with some other rubbers! For all those who would like to have more feedback: https://www.tt-spin.de/tibhar-aurus-select/
