Customer review for Tibhar Evolution MX-P

External Review for Tibhar Evolution MX-P on March 23, 2018

I first used this rubber with max sponge thickness (2.1-2.2) on Donic Ovtcharov True Carbon for my FH. I was quite unsatisfied because the setup was too heavy for me although it produced good amount of spin and speed but not that good in terms of ball feel. Because of this, I decided to try this rubber with 1.9-2.0 sponge thickness on the same blade. I was surprised with this setup because the difference in sponge thickness was way more evident that I expected it to be. With the thinner sponge, it was able to give me a better feel as it allowed me to directly feel the blade better especially during counterhits and touchplays. Its slightly tacky topsheet produced considerable amount of spin on my serves and FH loops, and what even helped is the reduced sponge thickness that made it more controllable and consistent due to reduced rebound. Blocks were also easy with the 1.9-2.0 version of this rubber because there is no unnecessary rebound unlike the max sponge version. The only drawback with using a thinner sponge for MX-P was its reduced speed. However, I would rather lose some amount of speed for my attacks but get way better ball feel for my strokes than use a max sponge MX-P and get a powerful attack but poor ball feel.
