Customer review for Tibhar Evolution FX-S

External Review for Tibhar Evolution FX-S on December 21, 2019

I have been using FXS max sponge, on my bh side, with MXS on the fh, On a defensive blade.
I feel the rubber is very consistent and can produce a reasonable amount of spin but nothing special, I felt that my bh serves lacked zip and spin, blocking was good, pushing was good, bh topspin good, a very steady rubber.
For me the rubber felt too soft and slow, especially when compared to the MXS, I tried the FXS on my fh a few times and the difference between the 2 was speed off the face, which resulted in a 300mm shorter landing point on the opponents side of the table when playing fh loop. So the softer sponge helps grip the ball, adds dwell time, but the catapult effect of the sponge is reduced and therefore speed.
On the bh FXS seemed to lack penetration and lacks that crisp feeling Im looking for.
Overall FXS is a very consistent rubber, with good defensive capabilities, its a safe rubber. Playing topspin against backspin is good.
FXS May well be completely different on an offensive blade, with the blades properties making up for the apparent lack of speed.
I have now changed the FXS for MXP, so the set up is now MXS on my bh & MXP on my fh. First impressions are that the spin and speed has increased on my bh, with a more solid / crisp feeling, MXP review in a couple of months, but it felt very nice the first time out!!!!
