I was searching for a lighter rubber for my BH given 2 tenergy 05s are so heavy on my TB ALC. Saw someone selling a lightly used Calibra LT Sound and jumped on the opportunity.
I am 1800 level looper and here are my impressions: The rubber is CRAZY light. 11gms lighter than the 05 it replaced. This is a gamechanger in itself for me. If you are lightly built like me, this can mean the world in terms of bat acceleration. Compared to 05, Calibra LT Sound is harder faster less spinny longer arc lower throw much more direct on drives So, if you mad loop everything on your bh, 05 might be better but I like driving after opening loop. I always thought that nothing can beat an 05's opening loop and while it's true on my FH, on BH, my opening loops are much better with the calibra. One thing I would say is that the rubber is faster than 05 by a fair margin. Touch and blocks are my strength so that wasn't a problem but I can see that it could be for some. I hit a couple of BH counter drives 1 meter away from the table that had both tables the side of mine stop and just go wtf. I've never felt a rubber to be so direct on the bh. If you like to drive and counter loop, this is THE thing in my limited experience.

Iceman used a BTY Timo ALC with Calibra Sound both sides and won several tourneys in div 2 and div 1 using that same setup. It worked for him. He was a topspinner and could hit as well.

Been using this rubber on FH for two years and I've noticed its only weakness is that it is not a consistent rubber ...same ball struck in a similar way ,different result.

That deficiency sounds serious. So what big advantage does it have for you to stick with it for 2 years? |

No other rubber I've played with blocks power drives and slow loops like Calibra LT sound ,but the main reason I used it for such a lengthy period was to eliminate the possibly of the inadequacy being a technique flaw compounded by the fact that it is a great playing rubber.

Okey, I was just thinking that Calibra Lt was more popular since I have heard that more of the stiga pros use it before Calibra sound. Nice list btw!
