External Review for Tibhar Nimbus Sound on August 17, 2018

Hi all,
I'm very sorry but worse than this rubber, I have never seen in my life. There is no rotation at all. It felt like playing only a blade without a rubber. Maybe I got a defective product but I know for sure that I will never advice to anyone buy it. I read a lot of reviews on this rubber and the feeling that they are all corrupted :(
I usually play the Tibhar Genius rubber and there really is a spin of the ball, unlike Tibhar Nimbus Sound.

This rubber for only bakhand side. The rubber shortage of power if you deside pair on FH side. Have low throu angle and have more control. Yuo will make precise topspin stroke and very good block. Save return on unplesant enemy serve.

External Review for Tibhar Nimbus Sound on July 3, 2014

Currently using with a Tibhar Match.

I would not recommend this as a first rubber for a player who is just making his first set, unless you are determinated to play (at least 2x a week) and wants to be all/offensive.

Great spin for service and drives. Black rubber can be used easily to banana flick opponents backspin. Red rubber is a little harder on this.

Very fast for a beginner, but can be tamed if you train with a coach!

Used it for 6 months, playing about 4.5 hours a week. At the end of the sixth month, the red rubber only started to loose spin (but you must clean it after a few matches and use a protective sheet).

Good control besides the great spin and speed.

Not good for defensive play, IMO. Get this if you want to attack close/mid.

Very soft, quite spinny rubber. I use it on my forehand.
Lifting backspin and basic topsin shots feels perfect to me. As others said bottoming out happens once you get into a fast topspin rally so that speed really overtakes spin, but then the control is still great so topspins from far away are a breeze.
Biggest con is that short play is really hard as the ball easily pops up but luckily I use my backhand to do flicks from the forehand side a lot. :)
Overall my favourite affordable rubber.

Okay with this rubber. The topsheet and the sponge are not very soft, but it feels soft. It creates good speed and spin.

I have tried this rubber on Timo ALL blade, excellent rubber. Blocking and controll great, spinny when needed. For my game-type realy good. Of course, it is not explosive offensive rubber... So who needs this... no way...

An Excellent!! forehand rubber very easy to use and very good, but it does not last at all, expecially the playng surface loses its "new feeling" very quickly. Chips and breaks very easily.
I am going to try the Sinus Sound which looks like a similar rubber, hopefully it lasts longer

External Review for Tibhar Nimbus Sound on November 25, 2009

For me this rubber made a pretty good fh rubber, though I intended for it to be bh. The sponge is extremely soft, making it high in dwell time and easy to control, but also makes it nearly impossible to impart topspin unless the rally is going fast enough to allow the ball to dig into the sponge. Hence, flipping a serve has low probability. Also, for me, pushing with a short quick stroke made the ball unpredictable- where normally the ball would stay low and spin, the Nimbus Sound tended to make the ball pop up for an easy opponent smash.

great rubber,fast with good spin and very,very controlable.Dwell time is very high,especialy with medium hardness blades like Butterfly primorac and korbel.Loop backspin is a nightmare.I recommend this rubber for BH because it has high throw.I have this rubber on primorac off- almost 6 months and it is still good

I like this rubber for the forehand. The soft sponge allows you to really dig up incoming backspin which makes it a nice rubber to loop back serves. The only downside is bottoming it out (which happens occasionally during counter-looping rallies).

If you are all rounded player you looking for some control but you also want a lot of speed and spin I think this rubber totally worth the money.

External Review for Tibhar Nimbus Sound on January 3, 2009

the nimbus sound is a very lightweight rubber, i found it hard to smash with deu to a low throw angle imo The speed was not very fast but not slow either, i would say average, spin was ok but not what i expected, i think it has to be used on a harder frame to get full potential out of it, on a softer wood frame its not good enough
