Tibhar Speedy Soft D.Tecs is an ITTF-approved table tennis rubber, manufactured in Germany, designed for universal offensive (OFF-) style players seeking speed, control and disruptive effect. This rubber combines short pimples with proven D.Tecs technology that enhances the rubber's reactivity and disruptive properties. The result is impressive: Speedy Soft D.Tecs not only provides high speed (~12.9/20) during open play but also creates increased disruptive effect against opponents, especially when executing counter-attacks and blocks. The short pimples generate less spin (~5.6/20), but compensate with excellent control (~9.3/20) and disruptive properties that destabilize opponents' play. The soft sponge (~35°) provides a light catapult effect, allowing for precise and fast strokes while maintaining high control. The rubber is available in red and black colors complying with ITTF requirements, and in two sponge thicknesses (1.5mm, 2.0mm), optimized for universal playing styles.

Compared to Tibhar Grass D.Tecs (~8.0/20 speed, ~10.0/20 control, ~3.0/20 spin), Speedy Soft D.Tecs offers greater speed but less disruptive effect. Player reviews emphasize that the rubber "provides speed during open play," "has strong disruptive effect when blocking" and "is easily controllable," making it suitable for players seeking balance between speed, control and disruptive properties.

Unique Characteristics & Playing Style:

Tibhar Speedy Soft D.Tecs is a universal short pimple rubber designed for players seeking high speed (~12.9/20), excellent control (~9.3/20) and disruptive effect (~5.6/20 spin). Its soft sponge (~35°) and short pimples based on D.Tecs technology ensure a light catapult effect, enabling fast and precise strokes with minimal spin but strong disruptive impact on opponents. The rubber is particularly suitable for players relying on fast close-to-table play, counterattacks and blocking that disrupt opponents' rhythm.

Red Power Sponge technology enhances sponge reactivity, giving the rubber a light "catapult effect" that facilitates strokes close to the table, especially when executing short strokes and blocks. Its trajectory (6.5/10) is low and straight, ensuring stable ball flight ideal for fast strokes, blocking and counterattacks close to the table. The rubber is available in two sponge thicknesses: 1.5mm for maximum control and short game, and 2.0mm for balanced speed-control combination in more aggressive play.

Player reviews highlight that the rubber "provides speed during open play," "has strong disruptive effect when blocking" and "is easily controllable," making it suitable for players seeking disruptive properties and control.

Topsheet Composition:

Tibhar Speedy Soft D.Tecs features short pimples optimized for speed and disruptive effect, with D.Tecs technology that enhances topsheet reactivity and disruptive properties. The short pimples generate minimal spin (~5.6/20) but provide strong disruptive effect, especially when blocking, counter-attacking and executing short strokes.

Compared to Tibhar Grass D.Tecs (~3.0/20 spin, ~8.0/20 speed, ~10.0/20 control), Speedy Soft D.Tecs offers greater speed but less disruptive effect. Compared to Tibhar Aurus Select (~14.4/20 spin, ~13.5/20 speed, ~9.0/20 control), Speedy Soft D.Tecs has significantly less spin but similar control and slightly less speed.

D.Tecs technology enhances pimple elasticity, enabling disruptive ball trajectories that destabilize opponents' play. Player reviews note the topsheet is "very effective when blocking topspin strokes," "creates disruptive effect in counterattacks" and "has excellent speed in short game." The topsheet is less sensitive to opponent's spin compared to inverted rubbers, making serve reception and short play easier. Its durability is high, maintaining disruptive properties even under intensive use when properly maintained.

Sponge:

Tibhar Speedy Soft D.Tecs uses soft sponge (~35°) that balances high speed (~12.9/20), excellent control (~9.3/20) and minimal spin (~5.6/20), providing a "soft and controllable feel." Red Power Sponge technology enhances energy return, creating light catapult effect that facilitates fast strokes and blocks.

Sponge thickness options allow adaptation to various playing styles: 1.5mm for maximum control and short game, and 2.0mm for balanced speed-control combination in more aggressive play.

Compared to Tibhar Grass D.Tecs (~35°, ~8.0/20 speed, ~10.0/20 control, ~3.0/20 spin), Speedy Soft D.Tecs offers greater speed but less disruptive effect. Compared to Butterfly Feint Soft (~10.0/20 speed, ~9.5/20 control, ~4.0/20 spin), Speedy Soft D.Tecs has greater speed but slightly less control.

Player reviews emphasize the sponge "provides light catapult effect" and "helps execute precise blocks," especially when playing close to the table.

Spin & Trajectory:

Tibhar Speedy Soft D.Tecs features minimal spin potential (~5.6/20) but generates strong disruptive effect, especially when blocking, counter-attacking and executing short strokes. The short pimples and soft sponge reduce ball spin but create irregular trajectories that trouble opponents, particularly when blocking topspin strokes.

The rubber's trajectory (6.5/10) is low and straight, ensuring stable ball flight ideal for fast strokes, blocking and counterattacks close to the table. Player reviews highlight the rubber is "excellent for blocking topspin strokes," "creates disruptive effect in counterattacks" and "has straight trajectory," making it suitable for players relying on speed and disruptive properties.

Compared to Butterfly Feint Soft (~4.0/20 spin), Speedy Soft D.Tecs offers slightly more spin and disruptive effect.

Control:

Tibhar Speedy Soft D.Tecs provides excellent control (~9.3/20) in its category, especially when blocking, counter-attacking, executing short strokes and receiving serves. The soft sponge offers soft stroke feel, making the rubber very forgiving of imperfect strokes compared to harder short pimple rubbers.

Compared to Tibhar Grass D.Tecs (~10.0/20 control), Speedy Soft D.Tecs offers slightly less control but greater speed. Compared to Tibhar Aurus Select (~9.0/20 control), Speedy Soft D.Tecs has similar control but significantly less spin. Compared to Butterfly Feint Soft (~9.5/20 control), Speedy Soft D.Tecs offers slightly less control but greater speed.

Player reviews note the rubber is "highly controllable when blocking" and "allows precise ball placement," especially when receiving serves and playing short game.
