Pros
  • Good Balance
  • Nice feeling
  • Great blocking
Cons
  • Very Heavy
  • Drives too flat
  • Deceiving grip
After using for about 2 months on my RPB, I can share that this rubber has a pronounced feeling, where it's not dead, but not overly bouncy. Only negative thing I had to say is it's very heavy in weight, the throw is lowish when driving, and the in table flicks are not as good because topsheet doesn't grip the plastic ball well.

Another good rubber from Tibhars evolution series. I played with MX-P/S fh and FX-P bh all last season in matches. So compared to those two where does El-S fit into the equation. I used it for a few practice sessions and also in a few league games. I think this is a great rubber actually, it has a nice grippy (not tacky) top sheet which generates lots of spin on serves and loops. Just warming up it had that nice feeling and could play most shots without adjusting my stroke to much. As said before in other reviews I think the arc is lower and it is a bit slower than the faster evo family but you gain extra control; and quite a bit extra I think. I used these again on a Drinkhall powerspin carbon and it is more suited to the bh I felt although if you don't worry about the extra speed from the MX series then the only other issue is the slight lower throw so is a bit harder to loop kill a backspin ball, not that it is impossible though. It has nice control very good at counter hitting and blocking heavy spin balls. I have heard some say they think it is quicker than the MXS but I would say slightly slower.
It is a good attacking rubber I think better suited to the back hand. It is about the same weight as most other med/hard sponge tensors but not as heavy as the mxs. As I said I didn't use it much at all but the top sheet was already showing signs of wear and the colour faded very quickly from its original new state, Finger marks showed up from serves etc almost instantly so not sure how long it would last.

Hi Guys, I tested this rubber for 3 sessions of training and before I tested MX-P, MX-S and EL-P. At begin on the first 2 sessions of training, I noted a low throw angle of this rubber specially on power loops and a little bit less low throw also in slow topspin. Than as Andy suggested to me I tried better the rubber on slow topspin and the result has been a better medium throw angle, but for my personal opinion the MX-P and MX-S have higher throw on slow topspin. The spin of the EL-S is fantastic on serves, on pushes and opening loops; also the control is very good on blocks. For playres who have a perfect technique it will be a fantastic rubber with very very good potential. For my style the rubber isn't good because the low trajectory on power loops and drives when you want to close the point, and I prefer rubbers like Donic P1 Turbo, Omega V Tour or MX-P. Sorry for my english, bye everybody :)
