Customer review for Tibhar Aurus Sound

External Review for Tibhar Aurus Sound on July 22, 2020

Black, 2.1mm on a 729 V-6 blade. I tried this on my backhand, looking for a cheaper substitute for Yasaka Rakza 7 Soft. The feeling I get is that the Aurus Sound is just a little bit behind in most aspects. The speed is perhaps a bit higher. The spin is a bit lower. The dwell time is lower. I think that the physical feeling of rubber/sponge when you grab it is the same as R7S, but Aurus Sound feels a bit more stiff when you play. Blocking is ok, but not as good as R7S. Top spin isn't as easy as with R7S because of the lower dwell time. Pushing is easier with R7S. It tends to go longer with Aurus Sound. Aurus Sound will be better for a more aggressive backhand play, with perhaps more flat hard strokes than my more top spin/passive block oriented play. Aurus Sound feels lighter than the heavy Rakza 7 Soft. I have also tried Yasaka Rigan for backhand, and I can say that Aurus Sound is somewhere in between Rigan And Rakza 7 Soft. These rubbers can't be compared to DHS H3N, Yinhe Big Dipper and other Chinese tacky rubbers regarding spin and speed at all. These are just made for controlled play and mainly backhand, according to me. Good rubbers for the beginners forehand, to learn looping. Weight cut, Max: 38g
