On Xiom solo all wood outer koto blade, coming from Fastarc C1. Both rubbers are rather linear. Fastcarc C1 is sometimes said to have catapult, but this is not much even if the rubber is reasonably fast. Thibar Hybrid Mk is even more linear, which is not a drawback. Thibar Hybrid MK has fantastic grip on serves and low sensitivity to incoming spin. Adjustments I was forced into : when a ball comes with underspin and you want to top or flick, you have to impact the ball more under the ball than with Fastarc-C1, unless the ball goes to the net. I guess this will not be a problem for somebody with a very good flick or top-spin technique, but this the handling of short/slow underspin balls more difficult for me. Sometimes I would just want to go all in, and ... direct into the net. Whereas the c1 does not ask you to always control and lift the ball (and seems to do the job like automatically). Thibar MK is not intolerant, but I think that against incoming underspin, you have to adjust contact point to hit clearly more under the ball, or to simply cut/push the ball if you cannot. Another difference is that Thibar Hybrid MK throw seems to be lower when you hit the ball with more strength. So when I put more power with forehand, I think about giving more curve to the ball. All in all, I find the rubber slightly more demanding than Fastarc C1 (which I like a lot) but in some ways more rewarding also. Shot stability are very good both with Fastarc C1 and Thibar MK. Serve, ball control, control of loops, short play, block, which are very good with Fastarc C1, are really even better with Thibar MK. Some adjustments required, Thibar Hybrid MK forces one to be more conscious, but for the moment it is rather rewarding (at least for me - and for the moment).

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.

This is the worst rubber Ive ever used. I tried it on both sides on the Anders Lind hexa carbon and it felt like a brick to play with. Pushes had no bite to them , ball come off the rubber with a very low fast spit out trajectory. Servicing was also very bad , I struggled to generate as much spin as I usually would . The k3 hybrid is far superior and although harder it felt softer than playing with this. I was very disappointed in this rubber , Id recommend using it on a soft to medium hardness blade, probably all wood. The only thing it did well at was blocking , every other compartment Of the game it fell way short for me especially given the 45 pound price tag.
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.
