TIBHAR Speedy Soft MY is a high-quality short-pimple table tennis rubber, distinguished by its versatility and suitability for both defensive and offensive play, especially with the plastic 40+ ball. ITTF-approved, this rubber was chosen by one of the world's best defenders, Yuto Muramatsu, after whom it is named.

The rubber features a medium-soft sponge (~38–40 degrees), ensuring balanced speed (105/100, ~13.1/20), excellent control (95/100, ~11.9/20), and sufficient spin (60/100, ~7.5/20), typical of short-pimple rubbers. The slightly grippy surface and short-pimple structure allow for precise shots with strong spin, particularly in defensive play, as well as effective offensive blocks and counterattacks. Available sponge thickness options (1.3 mm, 1.6 mm, 2.0 mm, 2.3 mm) provide flexibility to adapt the rubber to various playing styles—from safe defensive chops to fast attacking shots.

TIBHAR Speedy Soft MY delivers a pleasant playing feel and a wide range of spin—from topspin to backspin—making it an ideal choice for all-round and defensive players seeking a balanced rubber. TIBHAR Speedy Soft MY represents control, versatility, and German craftsmanship!

TIBHAR Speedy Soft MY stands out for its versatility, pleasant feel, and adaptability to different playing styles:

  • Short Pimples: The short-pimple structure provides a classic "pips-out" effect, reducing the ball's spin and making blocking and counterattacks easier. Compared to other short-pimple rubbers like Butterfly Raystorm (~8/20 spin), TIBHAR Speedy Soft MY offers stronger spin (7.5/20) and higher control (95/100 vs. ~90/100), especially when executing chops and topspin strokes. The slightly grippy surface allows for sufficient spin generation, approaching that of inverted rubbers like Andro Backside 3.0 (~16/20 spin), while retaining the speed and direct feedback of short pimples.

  • Medium-Soft Sponge: The medium-soft (~38–40 degrees) sponge ensures excellent control and sensitive feedback, particularly for defensive chops and blocks. Compared to XIOM Jekyll & Hyde C52.5 (52.5-degree sponge), TIBHAR Speedy Soft MY is much softer, providing more control (95/100 vs. 98/100) and suiting all-round players. The sponge absorbs energy, facilitating chops and passive blocks.

  • Sponge Thickness Options: Available in 1.3 mm, 1.6 mm, 2.0 mm, and 2.3 mm, allowing adaptation to different playing styles. 1.3 mm and 1.6 mm are ideal for classic defensive play emphasizing control and spin (similar to Yuto Muramatsu’s style). 2.0 mm balances control and speed, suitable for all-round players. 2.3 mm adds more speed, ideal for attacking blocks and counterattacks. Compared to Donic Spike P1 (1.5–2.0 mm thickness), TIBHAR Speedy Soft MY offers a more versatile feel and stronger spin.

  • Weight & Assembly: The rubber is lightweight (~40–45 g when cut, depending on thickness), making it an excellent match for lightweight blades like TIBHAR Samsonov Force Pro (~85 g) or Stiga Defensive Classic (~80 g). Water-based glue (e.g., TIBHAR Clean Fix) is recommended for assembly. Users note its durability but recommend regular cleaning with a rubber cleaner (e.g., TIBHAR Cleaner) to maintain grip.

  • Versatility: Suitable for defensive play (chopping, blocking) as well as all-round players executing topspin strokes, attacking blocks, and counterattacks. Compared to Yasaka Rakza PO (~9/20 spin), TIBHAR Speedy Soft MY offers less spin but higher control and direct feedback, ideal for fast close-to-table shots.

Technical Performance & Playing Characteristics:

  • Speed (105/100, ~13.1/20): A fast short-pimple rubber, ideal for attacking blocks, counterattacks, and varied shots. Slightly faster than Butterfly Raystorm (~12.5/20 speed), especially with 2.3 mm sponge. Significantly faster than Andro Backside 3.0 (~9.4/20 speed), enabling aggressive shots.

  • Control (95/100, ~11.9/20): Excellent control, especially for chops, blocks, and returns. The medium-soft sponge and short-pimple structure ensure sensitive feedback and stability. Slightly less control than XIOM Jekyll & Hyde C52.5 (98/100) but better suited for defensive/all-round play. Compared to Donic Spike P1 (~12.5/20 control), control is slightly lower, but speed and spin are higher.

  • Spin (60/100, ~7.5/20): The slightly grippy surface and short pimples provide sufficient spin, especially for chops, topspin strokes, and serves. Slightly less spin than Butterfly Raystorm (~8/20 spin) but generates more spin than most short-pimple rubbers. Much less spin than Andro Backside 3.0 (~16/20 spin) but faster and more direct.

  • Accuracy (9.2/10): High precision allows players to place the ball accurately, especially in blocks and counterattacks. The short-pimple structure reduces shot dispersion, ensuring stability.

  • Trajectory (7.8/10): Medium-low trajectory, ideal for blocks, counterattacks, and chops. Lower than XIOM Jekyll & Hyde C57.5 (8.8/10), facilitating fast close-to-table shots. Blocking trajectory is stable, suitable for passive and active blocks.

Playing Aspects:

  • Chops (9.3/10): Highly effective for chops, especially with 1.3 mm or 1.6 mm sponge, due to the grippy surface and medium-soft sponge, ensuring strong spin and control. Trajectory is stable, ideal for defensive play.

  • Blocking (9.4/10): Extremely effective for blocking topspin shots close to the table, especially with 2.0 mm or 2.3 mm sponge, due to the energy-absorbing pips and stability. Suitable for passive and active blocks.

  • Push Shots (8.9/10): Allows precise pushes against backspin or dead balls, generating enough spin thanks to the grippy surface.

  • Counter-Hitting (9.2/10): Great for fast counterattacks close to the table, especially with 2.3 mm sponge, due to high speed and direct feedback.

  • Smashing (9.0/10): Effective for flat hits with 2.3 mm sponge, producing fast and accurate trajectories.

  • Serves & Receive (9.1/10): Enables precise serves with sufficient spin due to the grippy surface. Passive receive (9.2/10) is stable, while active receive (9.0/10) benefits from high control.

  • Flick Shots (8.8/10): Banana flicks are easy with 2.0 mm or 2.3 mm sponge, ensuring spin and speed.

Blade Compatibility:

TIBHAR Speedy Soft MY suits various blades, especially defensive and all-round models that complement its control and speed:

  • TIBHAR Samsonov Force Pro (7-ply, ~85 g): Excellent balance, enhancing chops and counterattacks.

  • Stiga Defensive Classic (5-ply, ~80 g): Maximizes control, ideal for classic defensive play.

  • Butterfly Hadraw Shield (5-ply, ~85 g): Enhances spin and control, suitable for defenders.

  • Yasaka Ma Lin Soft Carbon (5+2 ply, ~85 g): Provides stability for all-round players.

  • Donic Defplay Senso (5-ply, ~85 g): Balances control and speed, ideal for varied play.

Lightweight blades (~80–85 g) are recommended for optimal racket balance. 1.3 mm or 1.6 mm suits classic defensive play, 2.0 mm for all-rounders, and 2.3 mm for players seeking more speed and attacking potential.
