In-depth look at Tibhar equipment. Any feedback you'd like to share?

[Rub]

Hello everyone,
I am currently working on an in-depth technical analysis of the Tibhar brand for an independent analysis project called Table Tennis Insight. My aim is to help competitive players find the best possible option for their game, going beyond the usual marketing brochures.

Recently, I have tested various rubbers from the Evolution series, and I have decided to stick with the MX-P on my forehand and the FX-P on my backhand. However, I believe that my opinions alone about these rubbers are not enough for a player to decide whether they will suit them or not. If you have ever used Tibhar equipment – be it rubbers (Evolution, Quantum, Hybrid series...), blades, balls or any other product from the brand – I would love to hear your views so that I can include them in my analysis as well.

Transparency note: I’d love to include some of the collective ideas and personal experiences of the community in my upcoming reviews on Table Tennis Insight. I believe that players’ opinions are the only way to truly understand how competition equipment works. All contributions will be treated as general community opinions, unless you wish to be specifically mentioned.

I really appreciate all your feedback!

Tibhat rubbers fade quickly. The topsheet is not durable.

I was also not quite satisfied with the durability of some tibhar rubbers.

my favourite tibhar rubber is evolution mx-s, great control in short game and blocking and that rubber is seriously spinny. I feel like this rubber is a bit underrated, the high gears are no joke

tibhar k2 is also nice, very cheap on aliexpress, high quality hybrid rubber you can get for 25€ on sale

They perfectly adapt to my style. They're perfect for my offensive shots and as I also block a lot, they feel more durable for me. Thank you as well!

Best playing characteristics except Butterfly, one of the worst durabilities.
Pretty much sums up Tibhar rubbers.

Tibhar blades have the best handle design for me. Most comfortable blade I ever played with was my Stratus Power Wood.

Unfortunately most retailers around me don't have much selection of Tibhar blades though, so I settled on Butterfly when I eventually wanted to move to carbon.

Thank you all! I’ll take all your feedback on board! I’d also like to know: has anyone ever used the Hybrid K3?

Which are the most durable Tibhar rubbers?

Which are the most durable Tibhar rubbers?

Depends on what you want:
- Evolution series has durable topsheets, while the sponges tend to die down after a while. Some of my teammates' EL-D and MX-P have lost 3-4 grams over a month or two, which impacted the liveliness of these rubbers. They remained playable, yet not as lively/fun. I would say MX-S is probably the most durable one, however it's not for everyone, as it is relatively heavy and demanding to swing power. MX-D is also durable, it's quicker than MX-S but, boy oh boy, is it HEAVY!
- Hybrid series is the true gem of Tibhar, imo. All 5 rubbers (K3, K3FX, MK, MK Pro, MK FX) are just excellent and very spinny, but their topsheets wear off in a month (K3, K3FX, MK FX), sometimes in 2-2.5 months (MK Pro). They become tensors with mediocre control and spin.

Thank you, it was so useful for my project!

Just a collection of review videos. May have seen some but all channels with useful feedback on equipment.

I'm also a big MX-S lover, but since the prices increased so much I haven't been using it. I used it both sides for a long time and then just kept it on my backhand, but I think this rubber is incredibly slept on.

In general Hybrids just don't last a long time. I don't think they make a lot of sense to play with unless you get them for free/cheap, or if you just don't play that often. With that said - relative to the ones out there I think MK/MK Pro do last a little longer than average. They're a lot more consistent sheet to sheet imo than K3, which I've seen just insane variation between one that my friend was using and then one that I bought a and glued. The topsheet barely looked like it was the same rubber.

What do you think are the best Tibhar rubbers for intermediate players?

FX-S and EL-S.
