Information
TAU3 is a classic Chinese-style sticky inverted rubber developed by Xiom, featuring built-in German tension technology that eliminates the need for illegal boosters. With an extremely hard57.5°ESNsponge and a tacky top sheet, it delivers powerful spin and speed while maintaining surprisingly good control thanks to C-TOUCH engineering, which softens the sponge feel. The CYCLOID AI-based DYNAMIC FRICTION system optimizes the spin-to-distance ratio for consistent and precise arcs. Made in Germany, this ITTF-approved rubber offers a crisp feel and high durability, making it ideal for intermediate to advanced players who favor a spin-oriented, offensive game near the table. Compared to traditional Chinese rubbers, TAU3 provides easier access to speed and spin without sacrificing the characteristic stickiness, allowing for effective looping, serving, and short play. It performs best on OFF- and OFF blades but can be tamed on ALL+ setups for better control.
