Tibhar Quantum X Pro Soft is an ITTF-approved table tennis rubber, manufactured in Germany, designed for offensive (OFF) style players, particularly beginners and intermediate players seeking to combine powerful strokes with high control. This rubber is a softer version of the Tibhar Quantum X Pro, maintaining a high ball trajectory while offering greater control (~10.0/20). The specially designed topsheet and medium-hard sponge (~42.5°) ensure high speed (~13.8/20), very high spin (~14.0/20), and excellent control, allowing players to execute precise and powerful strokes while maintaining stability. The Quantum X Pro Soft meets the needs of beginner and intermediate players who want to hit the ball with great force while maintaining accuracy and control. The rubber is available in red and black colors, complying with ITTF requirements, and in three sponge thicknesses (1.8 mm, 2.0 mm, MAX), optimized for various offensive playing styles.

Compared to the Tibhar Quantum X Pro (~15.0/20 speed, ~8.5/20 control, ~14.5/20 spin), the Quantum X Pro Soft offers slightly lower speed and spin but significantly higher control. Player reviews emphasize that the rubber "provides excellent spin in topspin strokes," "is highly controllable," and "is suitable for learning aggressive play," making it ideal for players developing offensive techniques.

Unique Characteristics & Playing Style:

The Tibhar Quantum X Pro Soft is a versatile offensive rubber designed for players seeking high speed (~13.8/20), very high spin (~14.0/20), and excellent control (~10.0/20). Its medium-hard sponge (~42.5°) and smooth, spin-optimized topsheet, supported by Quantum X technology, ensure a balanced catapult effect that enables powerful strokes with high precision. The rubber is particularly suitable for beginner and intermediate players learning aggressive play while valuing control and stability. The Red Power Sponge technology enhances the sponge's reactivity, providing a light "catapult effect" that facilitates strokes close to the table and from short to mid-distance while maintaining excellent racket and ball contact. Its trajectory (8.1/10) is high and slightly curved, ensuring a stable ball flight path ideal for topspin strokes, backspin play, and controlled counterattacks. The rubber is available in three sponge thicknesses: 1.8 mm for maximum control, 2.0 mm for a balanced offense-control combination, and MAX for maximum speed and spin in aggressive play. Player feedback emphasizes that the rubber "delivers excellent spin in topspin strokes," "is highly controllable," and "is suitable for learning aggressive play," making it ideal for players developing offensive techniques.

Topsheet Composition:

The Tibhar Quantum X Pro Soft features a smooth, spin-optimized topsheet with high grip and elasticity, utilizing Quantum X technology. The inward-facing pimples (inverted) ensure strong ball contact, enabling very high spin generation (~14.0/20), particularly in topspin strokes, aggressive serves, and backspin shots. Compared to the Tibhar Quantum X Pro (~14.5/20 spin, ~15.0/20 speed, ~8.5/20 control), the Quantum X Pro Soft offers slightly lower spin and speed but significantly higher control. Compared to the Tibhar Aurus Select (~14.4/20 spin, ~13.5/20 speed, ~9.0/20 control), the Quantum X Pro Soft has similar spin, slightly higher speed, and higher control. Quantum X technology increases the topsheet's tension, ensuring prolonged ball contact and facilitating spin generation. Player reviews note that the topsheet is "highly effective in generating spin in topspin strokes," "stable in backspin shots," and "offers excellent grip," making it suitable for players who value spin and control. The topsheet is less sensitive to opponent spin compared to Chinese rubbers like the Tibhar Hybrid K1, making serve reception and short play easier. Its durability is high, maintaining grip even under intense use if properly maintained.

Sponge:

The Tibhar Quantum X Pro Soft uses a medium-hard sponge (~42.5°) that balances high speed (~13.8/20), very high spin (~14.0/20), and excellent control (~10.0/20), delivering a "soft and controllable feel." The Red Power Sponge technology enhances energy return, ensuring a light catapult effect that facilitates strokes and prolongs ball contact. The sponge thickness options allow adaptation to various offensive styles: 1.8 mm for maximum control, 2.0 mm for a balanced offense-control combination, and MAX for maximum speed and spin in aggressive play. Compared to the Tibhar Quantum X Pro (~47.5°, ~15.0/20 speed, ~8.5/20 control, ~14.5/20 spin), the Quantum X Pro Soft offers lower speed and spin but higher control. Compared to the Butterfly Tenergy 80 (~14.5/20 speed, ~8.5/20 control, ~14.0/20 spin), the Quantum X Pro Soft has lower speed but higher control and similar spin. Player feedback emphasizes that the sponge "provides a soft catapult effect" and "helps generate intense spin in topspin strokes," especially when executing strokes close to the table.

Spin & Trajectory:

The Tibhar Quantum X Pro Soft excels in very high spin potential (~14.0/20), particularly in topspin strokes, aggressive serves, and backspin shots. The high-grip topsheet and medium-hard sponge prolong ball contact, enabling intense spin generation that disrupts opponents, especially in topspin strokes and serves. The rubber's trajectory (8.1/10) is high and slightly curved, ensuring a stable ball flight path ideal for topspin strokes, backspin play, and controlled counterattacks. Players note that the rubber is "excellent for generating spin in topspin strokes," "stable in backspin shots," and "has a controllable trajectory," making it suitable for players learning aggressive play. Compared to the Donic Bluefire M1 (~14.0/20 spin), the Quantum X Pro Soft offers similar spin but is easier to control.

Control:

The Tibhar Quantum X Pro Soft provides excellent control (~10.0/20) in its category, particularly in topspin strokes, serves, backspin shots, and blocks. The medium-hard sponge offers a soft stroke feel, making the rubber very forgiving of imperfect strokes compared to harder rubbers like the Tibhar Quantum X Pro. Compared to the Tibhar Aurus Select (~9.0/20 control), the Quantum X Pro Soft offers higher control. Compared to the Tibhar Evolution FX-P (~9.0/20 control), the Quantum X Pro Soft has similar control but slightly lower speed. Compared to the Butterfly Tenergy 80 (~8.5/20 control), the Quantum X Pro Soft offers higher control, making it suitable for players seeking a balance between spin and precision. Player feedback emphasizes that the rubber is "highly controllable in topspin strokes" and "allows precise ball placement," especially in backspin shots and serve reception.

Technical Ratings:

• Speed (110/100, ~13.8/20): High speed, suitable for topspin strokes, backspin shots, and controlled counterattacks. Compared to the Quantum X Pro (~15.0/20 speed), the Quantum X Pro Soft is slower but more controllable.
