The tibhar torpedo has most of the gears that you need in fast table tennis, It is a fast rubber but still good at controll, Blocking and hitting goes best with this rubber but looping our spinning works very well to, in comparisation to the torpedo soft this one is a little harder so it is a lot faster to, if has a little bit less control deu to that but its an atackers dream and fits a power looper good to, if you are more like a brusher then the soft will fit you much better, the durability of the torpedo soft is very good so its worth the money for sure.
