Nianmor Review

First i�d like to intruduce myself because in my opinion the information about the reviewer is as important as the rubber himself^^
To me:-i play in the first youth league in germany(if u need something to compare it would be us rating 2200+,maybe more im not that sure)
-my play style is the same as timo bolls,i�m lefthanded,i do the pressure point grip and im a close/mid distance looper
Now to Nianmor.. ;)
I had now three training sessions with it and what i can say is that it really is a rival to the tenergy series,so i can understand why samsonov plays with it.
First thing i noticed is that the surface looks like the boost�s ones,but its harder.
The sponge hardness is about tenergy lvl.
Now to the characteristics:
SPEED:Nianmor is definitely fast,slightly faster than tenergy 05.
SPIN:The spin is pretty much the same as tenergy,maybe a bit less but you wont notice the difference.
SERVICE:Goes easy and decent spin,same as tenergy.
Topspin-Topspin:One word:IMPRESSIVE,u will love this rubber if you are a rally player.
3rd Ball:Works really fine,fast and loaded with spin.
Service return:Really good,u have the touch and the spin behind you :)Flips work easy too.
Overall:I�m fully satisfied with this rubber,i�ll stick with it now for the next seasons i guess.It�s a very good rubber and in my opinion better than the tenergy series rubbers.But if you want that rubber you should be a decent player and u should have a good technique because only then this rubber reaches his potential.
If you have questions or you want specific informaions about the different stroke characteristics just ask.
I hope you enjoyed the review(was my first one)

How does it work when blocking slow spinny topspins?

I heard that Joola Energy Extra is very weak in this area practically tha ball drops out of the rubber.


I hope the flight path of the ball is similar to T64.

What blade do you use it on?

You're right, multumesc.

It�s good at blocking,but i loop slow spinny topspins and that workes pretty fine with nianmor.

excellent review, Talent.

Nianmor is also under 50 $.

I gave up using Nianmor after 2-3 sessions. Needs too much work. I'm much more comfortable with Boost TX.

It's quite fast actually. But requires correct strokes, not a forgiving rubber for me. BTW it not spinny for slow loops or such. Any Tenergy will be easily spinnier. However countering is a joy with it.  

Smooth and white sponge, not porous like Tenergy.

Actually the rubber has a reverse dome when out of package, just like Coppa Speed.

Hmm weird. Iv seen Genius sponge and it looks identical to Tenergy sponge but its yellow.  i thought maybe Nianmor would be the same but white.  

chain_05 Thanks for the pics :D

So the Nianmor was not made to be like tenergy? the genius, baracuda, x-plode and hexer seem to have the same sponge so it seems like they r a direct challenge to tenergy.

Sounds interesting to me as well, but the question is, does it play more like Tenergy or like Tensors? Is it bouncy like Tensors?

For the record, Hexer sponge isn't even close to the Tenergy sponge, at least not the one on T 05. Might look like it, but the T 05 sponge is hard and stiff, while the Hexer sponge feels softer and extremely lose. Almost felt like a OX LP in my hands.

You might want to consider Joola Express X-plode, It's a really great backhand rubber. Easy to open with flicks and topspins over the table and not too bouncy for touch shots. It plays well on most blades and it allows you to take all the shots with a very linear feel. It  feels soft but solid. It's the best backhand rubber that I have found and I have tried many of the Tensors and T64.  Just my 2 cents! Good luck.

Water based glue! This rubber comes factory tuned and a lot domed. Very fragile. If you have a level around 2300us rating you'll get bubbles that fast too.

My brother who is pro-player got bubbles every day with it. He has to use 1 pair for day. So he switch to Genius and this year he is not with Tibhar anymore.
