Tibhar rapid is not a very extreme offensive rubber, i would say it is an off- or all+.

note: i believe this rubber works best with booster or speed glue, have no tested with only voc free glue

The speed and spin are both pretty good, but nothing special. The sponge is very elastic, so you havce a really good touch on teh ball, though it is not that great for making really high speed shots. the control on this rubber is pretty good. It is really good for blocking and counterlooping, especially at wide angles. I think this rubber is most suitable intermediate level players who are still experimenting around with looping strokes to get an ideal stroke.

The tibhar rapid is a good rubber for a beginner our for players who like a controlled attacking game our an alrounder, it is not a very fast our very spinny rubber but it does the job,its pretty stabile in al strokes but it lacks some power , has to be used on a harder blade i think to get that punch, there are also better and spinier rubbers then the rapid available but the spin is decent enough, it is very controllable in all strokes but ther are better rubbers available from tibhar like the torpodo and the soft version of the torpedo, still you cant do anything wrong if you begin with the rapid
