Sinus (Tibhar)

TIBHAR SINUS was developed especially for high-performance sport. Because high-performance players always favoured harder sponges for powerful play, TIBHAR SINUS was purposely fitted with a relative hard sponge in response. It is almost impossible to surpass this rubber. During stroke execution players feel that they can transmit tremendous speed to the ball despite small movement. The sponge combined with the adhering and elastic Sinus surface impresses by its rotation behaviour, proving advantageous to the player during topspin strokes but also and especially during services and short exchanges. A new rotation era has now being achieved.

Despite the relatively hard sponge, SINUS provides the ever popular fresh-glue sound.

So basically the tibhar sinus rubber is a tensor with a pretty hard sponge and somewhat tacky topsheet. It is very elastic, so it definitely has some very speed glue like characteristics.

The feel is actually kind iof like that of tenergy, except with a lower throw angle. It is great for very strong looping. I actually liked sinus better for mid court looping more than tenergy because i felt you could control the ball more. But for underspin, it requires some precision. For blocking, it is a little hard to control, but overall it is pretty good. counterlooping is also good with some good technique. all in all, i think this is a rubber for more advanced players.
