The tibhar nimbus VIP is a very good rubber in my opinion for attackers. But it is definitely a professional like rubber, intended only for use by the best players. It is a tensor, and it is really fast and spinny. The sponge is very hard and elastic, so it takes quite a bit of control to really have the skill level to use it properly Vladimir Samsonov uses this one, so that gives you an idea of its characteristics. The spin is very good too. This rubber is ideal for offensive looping. It feels very comfortable, kind of like tenergy 05 except with a harder feel. i highly recommend this rubber to people who have a firm grasp of basics.

The tibhar nimbus vip is a very fast rubber, probably the fastest rubber out at the time although i did not try tenergy 64 yet it is faster then the 05 for sure, The spin is very strong to you can put a lot of effect in your shots but with tenergy 05 spin is better, the sponge is pretty hard of course and hitting with the vip is no problem. It has a low to medium throw , the control is ok but you require a good technique because of the speed, this rubber is for powerloopers our full attackers only, espescialy on a hard blade it will be more difficult to control, i think it would suit a softer blade better and the speed will be fast enough then, it gives a great speed glue feel and sound
