Customer review for Tibhar Super Defense 40

External Review for Tibhar Super Defense 40 on December 6, 2011

I have an unusual set up that includes Tibhar super Defense 40 in 0.5 sponge on the F/H side of a Stiga Carbokev blade (very fast F/H, medium fast B/H).

The spin is astounding, including on serves if a brushing stroke is used and there is a low kick on topspin shots from long range, off a low trajectory and it is very easy to place and control the ball from well back from the table. Off a control or a defensive blade you would need a more vertical stroke.

Chopping requires some practice but when mastered produces heavy spin and a braking effect. Blocks can be played short with a soft hand action or long with some punch and will keep low, but probably not the best rubber for close to the table players. Serves can either be returned with a controlled push or flipped easily as the rubber has plenty of bite even though it is not very tacky.
