Customer review for Tibhar Evolution EL-S

External Review for Tibhar Evolution EL-S on April 23, 2018

I use EL-S on BH of my Nittaku Violin Carbon blade (H3 on FH). Compared to other Euro/Japanese rubbers I've used in the past (Xiom Vega Intro, Nittaku Fastarc S-1, Andro Powergrip, Xiom Vega Pro), EL-S is the fastest. I mostly block and loop, occasionally chop with my BH, as such EL-S excels at everything I need it to do. Despite the hard sponge, the rubber grabs the ball very well and it's very dynamic. I can punch back opponent's loops with a lot of power and precision. It's also easy to lift backspin on opening loop. The only issue I'm having with EL-S is BH flick. It's not really the rubber's fault. Because my BH is not that strong, I'm having trouble engaging the hard sponge when flicking. My BH flick is not consistent yet, but once I improve my technique, there shouldn't be any problems.
Overall, EL-S is a very satisfying rubber to use on BH. I would rate it as 9.5 out of 10. It's still a tad bit hard for my BH. I might switch to a softer rubber and improve my BH, then switch back to EL-S. It's pretty much a perfect BH rubber.
