Customer review for Tibhar Hybrid K3

External Review for Tibhar Hybrid K3 on May 1, 2023

FH Max red. This rubber pairs very well with OUTER CARBON blades such as TB ALC. In max thickness, the weight is about 49g. I tried on Tibhar hybrid AC, which is inner carbon, it does not pair so well, the feeling is hard, the speed is lower compared to outer. To me, outer carbon blades seems much better. And it should be confirmed soon with using the new Tibhar Krypto ALC blade (A. Lebrun) which might be released soon, as outer carbon closed to TB ALC. So, I think the speed rate 8.7 or below 9.0, is due to a test on inner blade. If you use no outer carbon blade, I can really tell you that it is a fast rubber, and merits 9.2 in term of speed.
At least on TB ALC, K3 is a good FH rubber for counter, opening spin, block, short push, and mid distance. It is quite similar to D09C but with a softer feeling and more response. Smash are stable, this rubber has many gears allowing defence at mid distance as well. It is well balanced for all-round and aggressive play too. It is little bit more difficult to be used on BH, unless a good technique for counter.
Update: fresh K3 max thickness is exceptional in FH but after a 2 months, the ball is flying when playing closed to the table. The spin is less then ball flies a little bit, but trajectory is a bit longer. This rubber is closed to Victas V20, which has same problem of durability. And now, the MK Pro is also like K3 or V20, and feeling is softer, the top sheet is more grippy.
