it is good for forehand if you like hard rubbers. very spinny, good speed.
nice rubber generally. i played it with rosewood xo didn't work. but on clipper cr it is really nice. i think it suits with softer blades. Edited by chandro - 09/12/2012 at 3:33pm |

tg3, after seeing all the hype about Tibhar 1Q for months here in Korea (Lots of Penholders using this on FH who previously liked T64) I decided to cough up $55 for a sheet. ( really paid $10 less, but that is alot of cash for one sheet of rubber.
Note, for the last year, I have been using primarily regular Tibhar Aurus on FH (Occasionally Calibra LT) on a TBS (for several years) so I am familiar with TBS.
I agree with the overall observations of this rubber. Speed on top end is good, maybe better than Aurus. Spin on full strokes is good. Control across 1/2 power and full power strokes is average. Overall, I did not see how this rubber, expensive or not could suit me better than my current FH rubber Aurus, which has much better control, especially in the all-important macho-man measure of re-looping or countering close to table.
I get a good discount on Tibhar and Stiga rubber from the distributor. Whenever I go there, I end up buying lots of Aurus for all the blades I tryout or backup bats.
If I was more of a loopdriver, I would probably like 1Q more. If I was a J-Pen player, I would prolly like it more than Aurus.
I moved 1Q to the BH wing of my ALC and it works there fine like any other inverted rubber.

BTW, hardness is a tad softer than hardish Aurus. Throw is medium low on ALC and TBS. Kick on fast loops is super, moves out low after first bounce almost like Calibra LT.
