Tibhar Quantum X Pro Soft is an ITTF-approved table tennis rubber, manufactured in Germany, designed for offensive (OFF) players seeking a balance of high power, spin, and control. This rubber is a softer version of the Tibhar Quantum X Pro series, featuring the same high trajectory arc but offering greater control (~10.0/20). The specially designed topsheet and medium-hard sponge (~42.5°) cater to the needs of beginner and intermediate players, enabling powerful shots with high precision. The Quantum X Pro Soft delivers high speed (~13.8/20) and very high spin (~14.0/20), making it ideal for players who want to combine aggressive attacking play with controlled gameplay. The rubber is particularly effective for topspin shots, backspin play, and precise close-to-the-table strokes.
The Quantum X Pro Soft is available in red and black colors, complying with ITTF regulations, 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 (~15.6/20 speed, ~8.0/20 control, ~15.0/20 spin), the Quantum X Pro Soft offers lower speed and spin but significantly better control. Player feedback highlights that the rubber "provides an excellent balance of control and power," "is easy to handle in topspin strokes," and "is suitable for beginners and intermediate players," making it ideal for those looking to refine their technique while maintaining accuracy.

Unique Features & Playing Characteristics:
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 grippy, spin-optimized topsheet, supported by PRO Tension technology, ensure a light catapult effect, allowing precise shots with high spin and stability. The rubber is particularly suitable for beginner and intermediate players who rely on a variable offensive style, including topspin shots, backspin play, controlled strokes, and short game.
The Red Power Sponge enhances reactivity, providing a balanced catapult effect that facilitates strokes close to the table and from short-to-mid distance while maintaining excellent racket-ball contact. Its trajectory (8.2/10) is high and slightly curved, ensuring stable ball flight ideal for topspin shots, backspin play, and controlled strokes.
The rubber is available in three sponge thicknesses:
1.8 mm for maximum control
2.0 mm for a balanced mix of attack and control
MAX for higher speed and spin in more aggressive play
Player feedback emphasizes that the rubber "offers an excellent balance of control and power," "is easy to handle in topspin strokes," and "is suitable for beginners and intermediate players," making it ideal for those looking to improve their technique.
Topsheet Composition:
The Tibhar Quantum X Pro Soft features a grippy, spin-optimized topsheet with high tackiness and elasticity, backed by PRO Tension technology. The inward-facing pimples (inverted) ensure strong ball contact, enabling very high spin generation (~14.0/20), particularly on topspin shots, serves, and backspin strokes.
Compared to the Tibhar Quantum X Pro (~15.6/20 speed, ~8.0/20 control, ~15.0/20 spin), the Quantum X Pro Soft offers lower speed and spin but higher control.
Compared to the Tibhar Evolution MX-P (~15.5/20 speed, ~8.5/20 control, ~15.0/20 spin), the Quantum X Pro Soft has lower speed and spin but better control.
The PRO Tension technology optimizes the topsheet’s elasticity and ball contact, prolonging dwell time and facilitating spin generation. Players note that the topsheet is "effective in generating spin on topspin shots," "stable on backspin strokes," and "has good grip," making it suitable for players who value control and spin.
The topsheet is less sensitive to opponent’s spin compared to Chinese rubbers, making it easier to handle in serve reception and short play. Its durability is high, maintaining grip even under intensive use if properly maintained.
Sponge:
The Tibhar Quantum X Pro Soft uses a medium-hard sponge (~42.5°), balancing high speed (~13.8/20), very high spin (~14.0/20), and excellent control (~10.0/20), delivering a "soft and controlled feel." The Red Power Sponge enhances energy return, ensuring a light catapult effect that facilitates strokes and prolongs ball contact.
The sponge thickness options allow customization for different offensive styles:
1.8 mm for maximum control
2.0 mm for balanced attack
MAX for higher speed and spin
Compared to the Tibhar Quantum X Pro
(~47.5°, ~15.6/20 speed, ~8.0/20 control, ~15.0/20 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 slightly lower speed but better control and similar spin.
Players highlight that the sponge "provides a light catapult effect" and "helps generate spin on topspin shots," especially in close-to-the-table play.
Spin & Trajectory:
The Tibhar Quantum X Pro Soft excels in very high spin potential (~14.0/20), particularly on topspin shots, serves, and backspin strokes. The grippy topsheet and medium-hard sponge prolong ball contact, enabling strong spin that disrupts opponents, especially in topspin rallies and serves.
The rubber’s trajectory (8.2/10) is high and slightly curved, ensuring stable ball flight ideal for topspin shots, backspin play, and controlled strokes. Players note that the rubber is "excellent for generating spin on topspin shots," "stable on backspin strokes," and "has a controllable trajectory," making it ideal for players who prioritize spin and precision.
Compared to the Donic Bluefire M2 (~13.5/20 spin), the Quantum X Pro Soft offers slightly higher spin, making it suitable for players seeking more rotation.
Control:
The Tibhar Quantum X Pro Soft provides excellent control (~10.0/20) in its category, especially on topspin shots, serves, backspin strokes, and blocks. The medium-hard sponge offers a soft stroke feel, making the rubber very forgiving on imperfect shots compared to harder rubbers like the Tibhar Quantum X Pro.
Compared to the Tibhar Quantum X Pro (~8.0/20 control), the Quantum X Pro Soft offers higher control.
Compared to the Tibhar Evolution MX-P (~8.5/20 control), the Quantum X Pro Soft has better control but lower speed and spin.
Compared to the Butterfly Tenergy 80 (~8.5/20 control), the Quantum X Pro Soft provides better control and similar spin.
Players emphasize that the rubber is "highly controllable in topspin shots" and "allows precise ball placement," especially on backspin strokes and serve reception.
