External Review for Tibhar Evolution MX-S on October 29, 2019

Tibhar Evolution MX-S, I am using max thickness, black sheet on my forehand side, mounted on a Tibhar, Drinkhall defense classic blade.
So far I have found that I can create high topspin levels when lifting backspin balls to my forehand, good technique is still required. high spin, brushed' topspin shots can have significant amounts of spin imparted on them, very difficult for an opponent to control.Regarding speed, the rubber is fast, not the fastest, but more than enough speed, even when mounted on a defensive blade. When you open up with forehand loops and forehand side spin loops during more open play the results are excellent, good speed and kick, high spin. If you are able to use your legs, hips, chest rotation and accelerate into the ball with arm and wrist at impact then really good fast and spinning loops can be performed. Flatter topspin shots, are fast, crisp and accurate, not so much spin, but this is due to the fact that the ball is not brushed as much during flat hit shots, acceleration / pace and accuracy is really good.
Counter topspin shots (short swing firm topspin strokes) can be performed with good consistency as well. (if you're quick enough to get in position!!!).
So that's the offensive part!!Defensive and passive play,
Control is good, the rubber and sponge combination has medium / medium high throw, so you can still play direct fast blocks, lighten your grip, get over the incoming ball and you can play controlled slower blocks that can take the pace off of the incoming ball. Pushing is fine, good control.
All push variants can be played with confidence, soft / short, long, early pushes just after the incoming ball hits your side of the table, no spin / floating pushes, aggressive back spin pushes and side spin pushes. I feel that I get good feed back / feeling from the rubber and blade during short game/ passive play.
Serving, All good, depending on your service technique, great spin!!!
All in all a great rubber.
