External Review for Tibhar Nimbus Soft on April 15, 2016

It's a good rubber but didn't worked out for me as I was using it on a soft and flex blade (septear) which effected consistency very negatively. Good for medium hard blades. Fast but not too fast. Good spin and decent control. Lots of gears, good for pushes and short game. Low throw makes it difficult to loop heavy backspins sometimes. Durability is most bothering. Wears out quickly, after only a month of using it on forehand the top sheet started cracking and the strokes became more and more inconsistent with detorioration of Speed. This was despite the fact that i only play for an hour or so twice, or sometimes, thrice a week. Spin however was preserved. Changed the rubber to Acuda S1 Turbo and very happy with it

External Review for Tibhar Nimbus Soft on August 3, 2015

This rubber is amazingly controllable and it has so many gears but a slight bit slower than the other faster /normal tensors. But the speed is there when you want it. It is highly forgiving and gives you the confidence and the consistency to go for your shots. If there are weakness to this rubber, it would be the spin is not that tremendously high on the first ball so you have to rely more on your speed and skill than spin on your serves. One the other hand it also means your returns and ability to handle spin is quite high which makes up for it. The durability is also another factor that makes it a bit of an expensive buy. But overall a great rubber well worth its price and something you cannot go wrong with. my ratings would be speed: 84, Spin: 78 Control: 89

Moved from Xiom Vega Elite to Nimbus soft. NS is lighter, bit slower and have more control. Same spin. Same hardness. Easier to play, my game improved. Use both in for and backhand, RBP. Good rubber for close the table. I use in a powerfull Hinoki Speed 90, so I can smash some far and still take a good shot. But when I want, I use only the rubber in short game and it has lots of control, the ball falls just after the net with short drives. Easy to put the ball wherever you want. Suited for all round player.

I played Nimbus Soft 1.8 and 2.0 for 2 years on different blades (Stiga Clasic WRB Off, Andro Kinetic Supreme All+) and I'm quite happy with this rubber.
I played it on both FH and BH, everytime I tried something else on the BH i came back to the Nimbus Soft. I gives a lot of control, it's quite fast, and it is spinny. You can get a lot of spin on your serves

External Review for Tibhar Nimbus Soft on July 24, 2011

Tried max with KLS blade. Very light and spinny. Good for close to mid distance play lacks the oomph if you like to reloop from far back - tends to bottom out. I gave it high marks for its performance close to the table. Topspins are heavily juiced push and flips are controllable with little if any of the dreaded 'pop ups' Blocks and counters are a breeze similar to sriver el in that department. Durability is moderate the topsheet is soft and pliable and will chip easily over time but that only a minor complaint. Sponge harness is somewhere between sriver fx and sriver el - mid squishy. Overall - Nice

The tibhar nimbus soft is a soft tensor rubber, it is a great rubber for a controlled looping/counter hitting game. The controll is really perfect, but you will need a harder blade to get full attacking potential elseway it will be to soft to finish of a rally, Spinning and looping works great with this rubber, you have a lot of dwelltime to make a good topspin shot
It lacks a little speed for a complete attacking style off play but it is a good rubber from tibhar looks a lot like the tibhar sound just a little softer but no big differences, its what sponge you like better i think

External Review for Tibhar Nimbus Soft on October 12, 2008

The right answer to TT ban by Thibar. It´s pretty soft, plenty of power and relative control and has and affordable price.It´s the closest to glued BTY Cermet, but fortunately nothing to do with old gen Thibar rubbers like Rapid D.Tech and Rookie, this one has a real built-in glue effect. However, it has the same problem of most Tensors: durability. The rubber performs awesome during the first mounth, decently during the second but will not last you the whole season.

Worths a try if you come from glued soft rubbers.

This rubber has an extremely soft, grippy pliable topheet mounted on a soft sponge. The topsheet itself is also slightly tacky compared to most euro/jap rubbers. The rubber feels not like but exactly like a speed glued sriver fx but with more speed and spin. Throw is high so looping of backspin is very easy. Remarkably blocking is also great very crisp when you want it to be. Soft blocking is this rubbers little secret, you can take the sting out heavy speedy loops very easily. If you hold the bat lightly you can also generate a weird slow floaty block (THIS WAS FUN!). Short game with this rubber is a mixed bag. Flicks are easy because of the tacky topsheet but delicate pushes/drop shot sometimes stall resulting in the ball going into the net. The weight of the rubber is very light (like the roxon 450 on my forhand (see review). Overall a good speed glue backhand rubber
