Customer review for Tibhar Grass D.TecS

External Review for Tibhar Grass D.TecS on November 29, 2023

I bought this overrated rubber, hoping it would be better than Dragon's Talon. Unfortunately, the price is not justified, as Talon is more versatile and easier to play with. As for the spin reversal and deception, I haven't felt a significant difference between the 2 rubbers. D'Tecs might have a slightly better reversal, but it also breaks like paper. Removing it from the blade if glued with anything stronger than cheap paper glue would most likely destroy it.

For the price of a D'Tecs, you can get 3 Dragon's Talon. Whoever says D'Tecs is the best long pips rubber available should try Talon, which seemed to me springier and faster than D'Tecs. This makes it more dangerous, as it doesn't leave the opponent much time to react. Durability is also excellent for Talon. I've had one for about 10 years and it's still in great shape.

This is one of the rare cases when the clone beats the original.
