Table Tennis Rubbers of New Generation

This document is about rubbers which were created with non-gluing effect. Here are rubbers
of the best sign. In the end of document are three tables with confrontation.

ROXON 500pro

The top athlete is our most critical customer.

Right he is because his level of playing table
tennis is so sophisticated that he is also setting
high standards for his body and his material.
The ROXON 500pro is designed for exactly this
technically elaborate high-class player. Due to
an optimised surface net structure the player can
generate utmost stroke dynamic with this
rubber. Precision and stability, broad sound and
an exercise book flying curve: that these effects
can be reached with speed-glue only belongs to
the past from now on. ROXON is the future!
The rubber for the absolute top-player!
Utmost speed-glue feeling and endurance!

ROXON 450

The demand for the material is growing with the

playing level. With his balanced technical skills
the player of the ROXON 450 is able to ideally
control this rubber' s power and dynamic. The
athlete benefits from the reduced rubber weight
of the ROXON 450 by faster and more precise
arm movements. The stabilisation in the
molecular caoutchouc layer results in a high
abrasion resistance - long endurance and a shiny
surface are the impressive evidence. The
rebound effect will inspire all former speed-
gluing players also during non-centred hits. The
secret lies in the rubber mixture, not in the glue!
The rubber for ambitious players of all
playing levels!
Utmost speed-glue feeling and endurance!

Bryce Speed

Our product development team has perfected their

initial idea. They have modified the known
advantages of BRYCE and created BRYCE
SPEED, a rubber which possesses the
characteristics of freshly glued BRYCE. The
introduction of BRYCE SPEED means that
BUTTERFLY offers a product that has explosive
speed combined with the highest Japanese
standards. High quality; the new rubber, based on
High Tension technology, is suited perfectly for
dynamic attacking and spin orientated table
tennis. BRYCE SPEED provides that vital
ingredient in enabling winning strokes to be
executed. BRYCE SPEED: maximum speed,
excellent spin. Why look for the alternative?
Simply affix BRYCE SPEED to your blade by
means of a basic type glue, such as BUTTERFLY
FREE CHACK, and enjoy dynamic table tennis
without the need of repeated fresh gluing.

Bryce Speed FX

In addition to BRYCE SPEED, the FX version

offers a softer sponge and therefore increases ball
control and feeling. Therefore, BRYCE SPEED FX
is the best alternative for the spin orientated player
who does not want to relinquish the advantages of
BRYCE SPEED. Playing from medium distance,
BRYCE SPEED FX is ideal with the amount of
spin imparted being both effective and dynamic.
The procedure for affixing BRYCE SPEED FX is
the same as for BRYCE SPEED. Simply affix it to
your blade and enjoy your game without the need of
repeated fresh gluing.

Sriver G3

The High Tension Technology of BUTTERFLY

has been steadily improving since 1997. We have
now successfully built into the legendary
SRIVER, the latest development of High Tension
Technology.
The result is SRIVER G3, a big step forward for
SRIVER in both speed and spin. We have
retained the typical playing characteristics of
SRIVER in both a steep trajectory and power.
SRIVER G3 keeps the traditional values of past
successes but offers greater spin and speed.

Sriver G3 FX

The softer version of SRIVER G3 offers

advanced control and more ease of play. Do you
look for a more flexible style of play?
Now this is available with upgraded speed and
spin through the High Tension Technology
developed by BUTTERFLY.
The answer is SRIVER G3 FX.

Tenergy 05

"Spring Sponge" is the latest innovation from

BUTTERFLY. It is the sponge of the coming era.
The well-known High Tension technology of
BUTTERFLY is now combined with "Spring
Sponge" to produce a new rubber family:
TENERGY.
TENERGY 05 is the first family member; the
special feature being in the original shape of the
pimples. The product carries our development
code No. 05 and merges High Tension
technology with the characteristics of a highly
grippy rubber.
TENERGY 05 has already been evaluated by a
large number of leading players, as well as by
scientific measurement, as the best rubber for
spinning the ball, both when serving and during a
rally.
Do you look for a high quality rubber for your
topspin and attack strategy? Then TENERGY 05
is the right answer.

Tenergy 64

"Spring Sponge" is the latest development from

the sponge BUTTERFLY home.
TENERGY 64 is the fastest TENERGY lining of
the family; the number 64 means development as
the number of pimples surface structure, which in
terms of their reduced diameter of the TENERGY
05 differs. This causes a slightly higher flexibility
of the surface, which, due to a softer stop feeling,
especially from the half-distance produced.

Coppa JO Gold

The speed glue ban arrived!

Waldner shows the way.
Waldner himself is progress. He has been one
of the top players in the world for over 20
years, has been decorated with many gold
medals, and has become immortal. Well-
known Swedish sports journalist Jens Felke
describing the best table tennis player of all
time. There will be imminent radical changes
to rubbers, as due to the speed glue ban the era
of speed gluing will be over at the beginning
of the new season. And again Waldner will
show the way.
During his promotional tournaments in China,
Jan-Ove regularly impressed the fans by its
unique class playing with the COPPA JO GOLD.
As this one is designed to meet the expectations
of professional players - this means the sponge of
the Coppa J.O. Gold is relatively hard - we have
 developed also a softer version the COPPA JO
SILVER. This is a rubber that most players feel
very comfortable with, especially European
players. COPPA J.O. SILVER is considerably
softer, but due to its high built-in speed-glue
effect, it plays like a medium-hard speed-glued
rubber. DONIC COPPA JO SILVER is the star of
the new generation of rubber. It combines
excellent control, very high speed, and spin that is
very close to that of professional speed-glued
rubber sheets.
COPPA JO GOLD is one of the highest
performing rubbers from the FORMULA series
and a replacement for speed gluing at top level.
Suitable for highly trained attackers with good
technical know-how.

Coppa JO Platin

A wolf in sheep's clothing

At first, this rubber sheet may seem a modest
development on the COPPA JO Gold from Jan-
Ove Waldner, but as soon as it has been glued
to the blade, this "grenade" sets an entirely new
benchmark.
- COPPA JO PLATIN is definitely the fastest
and spiniest rubber in the FORMULA DONIC
series with incorporated speed glue effect.
- COPPA JO PLATIN develops extreme
dynamics when playing slightly off from the
table.
- The sound and speed glue feeling of the
COPPA JO PLATIN are in a class of their
own.
- The bounce of the ball with the COPPA JO
PLATIN is both longer and higher and this
improves control and increases speed.
- The new top sheet, despite its enormous speed,
allows good touch for short balls, spin, serves and
returns.
- The durability of COPPA JO PLATIN has been
improved considerably.
COPPA JO PLATIN is superior to its competitors
in all important aspects. It really deserves the
Platinum label. A real wolf in sheep's clothing!
We recommend the new DONIC COPPA JO
PLATIN from Jan-Ove Waldner to the following
players: The harder Coppa JO Platin is
predominantly recommended for those players
who used to use speed glue for medium to hard
 sponges. You want to achieve maximum power
and the highest speed? Then Coppa JO Platin is
the right choice. Perfectly suited for top players,
too.

Sinus

TIBHAR SINUS was developed especially for

high-performance sport. Because high-
performance players always favoured harder
sponges for powerful play, TIBHAR SINUS
was purposely fitted with a relative hard
sponge in response. It is almost impossible to
surpass this rubber. During stroke execution
players feel that they can transmit tremendous
speed to the ball despite small movement. The
sponge combined with the adhering and elastic
Sinus surface impresses by its rotation
behaviour, proving advantageous to the player
during topspin strokes but also and especially
during services and short exchanges. A new
rotation era has now being achieved. Despite
the relatively hard sponge, SINUS provides the
ever popular fresh-glue sound.

Sinus Alpha

SINUS ALPHA possesses a softer sponge and

develops especially during a passive game its
strengths, because it provides even better
control. It is not as fast as its harder twin;
however it transmits during fast topspins and
blocking balls unequalled precision. Balls
played with this rubber have a longer and
evenly curved trajectory, putting even more
pressure on the opponent. TIBHAR SINUS
ALPHA is the ideal rubber for players looking
for unlimited dependability, in addition to
acceleration.

Nimbus

This new TIBHAR rubber is ahead of its time.

With TIBHAR NIMBUS, speed glue is no
longer necessary! Because the new NIMBUS -
SPI includes TIBHAR’s newly developed
‘speedglue integrated configuration’. This
design encompasses all the exciting and
essential factors that speedglue normally
brings to your rubber. So now NIMBUS -
without the speedglue application has the
incredible Spin-Speed-Dynamic plus typical
sound and ball contact feeling of a freshly
speed glued rubber sheet. In readiness for the
glue ban in 2007, top players will now be
armed and well equipped to make the
adjustment!

Nimbus Sound

Thanks to new SPI technology the playing

sensation and sound is highly emphasised. The
extremely soft sponge gives this rubber an
extraordinary sound and high spin. It also
gives players high potential for flexibility in
stroke play. This rubber is especially designed
for players who look for more than just speed
in a rubber - it provides extreme spin rotation
which improves the delivery of strong
offensive stroke play.

 Nimbus Soft

The soft version of Nimbus will definitely impress all players who like playing with very soft
offensive rubbers. Nimbus Soft with its 37,5° sponge hardness has exceedingly perceptive
ball control and was developed in such a way
that, even in extreme playing situations, it will
provide a large margin for technical error. The
very small speed loss is more than
compensated by the enormous increase of
control this rubber provides.

Nimbus Medium

The NIMBUS MEDIUM rubber is a little

softer than the NIMBUS rubber it therefore
provides the ideal balance of control without
lessen the overall performance. The
combination of the High-End rubber surface
with medium soft sponge provides
unbelievable speed increases in your offensive
balls. The optimal symbiosis between surface
and sponge provides the ideal mixture of
performance, playing sensation and sound.
This rubber is perfect for offensive players,
looking for the best possible replacement of
speed glue or tuning products.

 Nimbus VIP

Many weeks before the end of the Olympic

Games in Beijing, the rubber experts from
TIBHAR had prepared several new rubber
samples for top players such as Vladimir
Samsonov to test. In order for Vladi and other
top players to make a smooth transition from
the era of ‘speed gluing’ to the new future of
table tennis equipment it was important for
any replacement rubber to provide the highest
level of capabilities.
Immediately after his return from the Olympic
Games Vladi set out to test the sample
rubbers. Straight away tests showed that the
NIMBUS rubber in combination with a newly
designed hard VIP power sponge proved to be
the best choice. This according to Vladi was the
acceptable replacement rubber for the future with
no speed glue.
Due to his very close collaboration with the Tibhar rubber experts they managed to optimise
the very hard VIP power sponge and overcome the loss of the speed glue effect. In some
playing situations Vladi even felt that the new NIMBUS VIP rubber has even greater
advantages compared to a fresh glued rubber.
Now the race was on to produce the rubber for the beginning of the new competition season.
The Tibhar rubber experts managed to get a small production finished just in time for the
European Championships in St. Petersburg. Now the real test began! Vladi played his first
official match with the NIMBUS VIP rubber during the European Championships in St.
Petersburg and the success was incredible.
During the whole team event, Vladi did not loose one single game and showed great
performances with 3:0 victories over Timo Boll and Dimitri Ovtcharov the number 2 and 3
ranked players in Europe. In the single event he only lost in the final and won the silver
medal.
This was the baptism of fire for the NIMBUS VIP rubber; it is now in full production so that
all players can experience such success in the new equipment generation.
