Customer review for Tibhar Hybrid K3

External Review for Tibhar Hybrid K3 on February 4, 2026

Now completed ! For a long time, I was wondering why Tibhar had slightly changed their packaging. (I even thought I'd bought a fake after my second rubber!) The information about the rubber color and thickness is now on a sticker in the top right corner of the cover! The reason for this is that the original K3 packaging was also used for the Pro and FX models, and therefore incorrect parameters for the rubber (Pro & FX) were listed! Actually I play (for my first tests) the K3 on a Lemuria SALC (Viscaria Super ALC clone) at my BH and too on a Sanwei 54 Inner Yellow ALC at my FH. ... both with 2 mm! Strangely enough, on the SALC I prefer the K3 on the bh side, whereas on the Sanwei I prefer it on the fh side. - which once again demonstrates how strong the influence of wood can be. Facts: black rubber, orig. P. 108 g., unc. with foil 70,6 g. (net. 67,6 g.) At my blade 47,5 g. (157x150 mm) Conclusion: For years, you can read everywhere about how poor the durability of this rubber supposedly is. (Which really only refers to the topsheet.) I think that's complete nonsense! Anyone who knows how to properly clean and care for a topsheet can play with this rubber almost as long as many others on the market. However, anyone who thinks that VOC-free cleaners (which contain glycerin, which softens the topsheet!) are the right care product and also rejects base protection films is on the wrong track from the start. Addendum: I recommend using a sticky protective film immediately after cleaning with a VOC-containing cleaner (e.g., 70% isopropanol mixed with a small amount of dish soap). - removes sweat produced by the body, secreted body oils, and dirt!!! ... a VOC-free cleaner essentially only benefits the sellers. ;)
