Tibhar Super Defense 40 - A defensive rubber with potential!
Often, the classical defensive game based on passive strokes and in conjunction with the new 40 mm balls is not sufficient anymore when it comes to a successful game. Support comes from the German company Tibhar: they developed the Tibhar Super Defense 40, which is perfectly adapted to the larger scaled balls and the resulting loss of speed and rotation / spin. The entire Super Defense 40 rubber is made of a relatively hard sponge and a very thin but spin-optimized topsheet. For one thing, this allows you to act in a very controlled manner during defensive phases, including much safety and much rotation. This is mainly due to the re-worked geometry of the pimples. For another thing, the hard sponge develops good dynamics which makes it way easier for you to play effective attacks and surprising counter-attacks.
Tibhar Super Defense 40 - A brief summary on this rubber
All in all, the Tibhar Super Defense 40 provides not only ideal properties with respect to the new 40 mm balls, but also allows a highly versatile profile with much efficiency. Its offensive potential makes your gaming system hard to predict and hence more dangerous. Player preferring a softer sponge might probably be better off considering the Super Defense 40 Soft from Tibhar.
