02/08/2023 Not for beginner Review by Andrea Cherubini

Quality

This rubber is for "pro players". Too susceptible to moisture. Very good rubber when you shot hard but not easy to play.

25/07/2023 Good rubber Review by Juergen Kurras

Quality

The rubber is good for my backhand.
Good control for me and enough spin.
Speed is not really high but ok for me.

22/06/2023 Coach Crisostomo - control the game with this rubber Review by Rosar mihali Crisostomo

Quality

TIBHAR HYBRID MK was developed by the top players of Tibhar like Darko Jorgic, Shan Kun and Kenta Matsudaira.
The rubber is stated to be 48 degrees but it feels much softer. Although it is marketed to be a hybrid rubber, it is not really tacky or hard.
If you are looking for speed, this is not the rubber for you. Tibhar MK's strengths are in its spin and control. It is super easy to block with this rubber. The dwell time is longer making your shots more consistent when spinning and receiving. If you are looking to improve the consistency of your game, you have to try this rubber out.

19/06/2023 high quality rubber Review by Steve Adams

Quality

This is very high quality rubber, after trying the 2.0 mm version I have decided to switch over to it, It has improved my loop drive as it has perfect amount of dwell-time, grip and throw angle. This increasing my mental confidence, and I'm very pleased with its performance during intense competition: I'm winning more matches.

Очень хороший зацеп и скорость. Хороший контроль в подставке и в тычке. Хорошо подходит на бэкхенд

23/05/2023 very controllable rubber Review by Marcos Guglielmetti

Quality

It is a very controllable rubber, lower shooting angle than rakza z, less sticky, hardness 48º ESN or 37º China, that is, slightly softer than rakza z.
It is hybrid but it feels more European or Japanese.
Of all the similar rubbers I've tried, in the Bluegrip S1 style, it is perhaps the one that offers the best control. But it gives less spin than an H8-80 for example, and I think less ball speed on strong hits than a rakza z.
Either way, it allows me to play my game and hit all the subtle shots and deep cuts without getting the ball up too high.

18/05/2023 Consistent and linear Review by Juan Camilo Mora Zoppi

Quality

Disclaimer: the rubber is called hybrid but it has a topsheet that has absolutely no tackiness.

The main characteristic of this rubber is its soft topsheet and linear but elastic sponge. These give the rubber a very consistent behavior in all types of situations.

I personally use it on the backhand at 2.0. Before I used Tibhar EL-P and the MK seems to have another design philosophy from the evolution series. The main difference is the absence of the tensor effect that catapults balls even at low contact speeds. This makes the touch game superb as the control is maintained which is usually the weakness of european rubbers. The top sheet is somehow soft, very spinny, and not spin sensitive all at the same time. This makes the rubber great for receive, blocks are easy to control, and countertop requires just to swing and the ball goes in almost always. The high throw and good spin makes it good for open-ups and flicks. Overall it is a very safe rubber, with high throw and good spin. Its only weakness is far from the table play (at least for backhand) due to its lower speed. It is not a slow rubber, but if you like the speed of other ESN rubbers like Evolution then this would seem slow.

10/05/2023 Good, soft rubber with great control attributes Review by Elias Pierrakos

Quality

This is a good rubber. It is soft and delivers a nice feedback when driving and looping. The ball sinks in to the soft sponge and it can be easily placed in a controlled manner all around the table. Block, looping backspin and counter looping are very easy to perform. Keeping the ball short with backspin is a bit harder though, because the sponge is reactive. Hitting the ball hard and flat will produce enough speed to win the point.
This is not a tacky rubber though. I don't understand why it is marketed as a hybrid rubber.

The only drawback I've found is that the rubber is very subjectable to humidity. It can form a very thin layer of "goo" and then it becomes very slippery! In my club need to clean it all the time between points in order to have a grip! Other rubbers like Xiom Vega Europe do not have this issue under the same conditions! Very strange behavior!
