I switched to this rubber on my FH from MXP because I wanted to play with something a bit slower and more forgiving on my FH. This rubber surely did what it promised. Control is really great and the blocks are quite insensitive to incoming spin. The forgivingness of this rubber, together with some more training, massively improved the quality of my FH topspin and also decreased the amounts of errors in the game. The spin and speed are not top of the game compared to the really fast and spinny rubbers but MK hybrid still brings you a really long way with really decent smashes and amounts of spin. Overall a great rubber for people who are more allround players and players who rely a lot on ballfeeling in their game.

Tibhar Hybrid MK
by Tibhar
· Part of Tibhar Hybrid Series
Tibhar Hybrid MK rubber combines everything that defines top player Kenta Matsudaira's playing style: An extraordinary touch, high spin potential, a long ball/bat contact time and nevertheless enough reserves in speed to put the pressure on your opponent.
The knowledge gained in the development of Tibhar's Hybrid K3, in collaboration with top players Darko Jorgic, Vladimir Samsonov and Shang Kun, form the basis for the Hybrid MK. That collection of knowledge, combined with the personal requirements of Kenta Matsudaira, led to this premium offensive rubber.

I have been using a Tibhar MK Hybrid on my penhold FH for at least 4 months. I love it, for its control, and forgiveness, but I also think it can improve greatly in its durability and the lack of power in the long game.
When I switched from a Xiom VII PRO to a MK Hybrid, I noticed immediately how soft it was and how forgiving the returns were. I was able to produce a massive top spin and a very controlled counter top after a couple of training sessions.
I play 3-4 times a week, and I got accustomed to the rubber quickly, however, after 3 months, I noticed a sudden drop of catapult in the rubber. Maybe I always played closed to the table, but I realized this rubber sheet lacks power or lost its power in mid/long range from the table. The rubber now has some signs of wear-out, and the sweet spot seem to be opaque compared to the rest.
I still manage to play and win many matches with the rubber, but I think I will try a K3 Hybrid next time, which is supposed to be harder and faster for the mid range. MK Hybrid was still fun to play, and I would recommend it for both BH and FH.

I bought this rubber recently, to replace the Xiom on my forehand. However, I found it too hard, and too bouncy at return. It's very good for top spin smashes, however, It doesn't wrap around the ball, resulting in the top spin to be linear (instead of curving around the net). Also, the return blocks are not very friendly, when I block, it returns higher than it should, and this causes my opponent to easily hit my returns. I will keep trying it for another week, and if it doesn't work out, then I will replace it with a Tenergy 05.
I have played the MK on the Innerforce ZLC.
- It's an easy to play hybrid. Especially looping and blocking
- feels softer then 48 degree (more 46)
- less spin sensitive
- has a lot of more dwell time
- much easier to loop backspin
- is slower than the G1, but 10% faster than the Rakza 7 (I recommend the MK on an offensive blade. It is still fast enough to finish a point with strong strokes)
- The spin is high enough, but definitely not the spectacular.
- Durability is average: 3 Months if you train 4 times a week
