Archos, you are correct in the assumption. Unfortunately for me the short game is the same between the regular MK Hybrid and the pro version. I would have liked it too be more slow/non-creative due to it's harder sponge, but that is not the case. This might go down well for most players that do...

It would be interesting to see a video of the situation. If I loop the opportunity usually struggles to smash it. Either it goes to the net because it is too fast for the opponent to deliver a correct stroke or it flies well over the table due to the topspin catapulting the ball upwards. There...

Let me put it this way: whatever. You tell the shop to write down as value of the package will lead to your import tax. You could theoretically order a 1000€ w968 national and tell them to set the value to 100$, so that you only pay 20$ tax. Just contact them via WhatsApp and ask them if they...

To my knowledge the registration number on the topsheet is unique per topsheet and it seems to be the same. The only visual difference I could notice is the colour of the sponge. Left is hybrid mk pro and the right side is the regular one.

perhaps this is just a master stroke by tibhar which enables them to live with a less good quality control. The Tibhar MK Hybrid rubbers that come out of ESN with a too high hardness can be relabelled as MK hybrid pro (since both rubbers look alike and only the wrapping is different if i did not...

My very first early impressions are that non-pro and pro play similarly in the short game which is sad but something that you can also see with other tibhar rubbers. The change of power and potential seems to be only noticeable on more active strokes and not the short game. I will evaluate it...

I got one mk pro to be delivered to me soon and I will check if it is really less bouncy in the short game. Usually I thought this would be a rule of thumb that the harder the sponge the more controlled a rubber is in passive strokes, but I was wrong. While this rule applies to pk50 Sieger and...

If you want to become a better player it is definitely important to play properly instead of using cheap shortcuts to win. Of course if you are not yet able to flip/flick short serves, it is ok to push them (if the got backspin). I would focuss on one part of my game that i deliberately improve...

Acoustic for loops, cyber shape for blocks

Rakza Z is similarily controlled in the short game but more dynamic in the open game

bought it, but i am not able to compare it to the original obviously. It ended up being sold to my low level neighbour who likes to play with it

they do it the other way around. They have their hurricane long 5 which is an expensive blade and bring out more expensive and exclusive "clones" (w968) with better quality control and materials to earn more. This makes much more sense for them obviously. Anything too similar to a Hurricane Long...

why would DHS being the same manufacturer of the HL-5 produce a clone of their expensive blade for a cheaper price ?

Glayzer is quite slower than G-1 and more demanding to play. Most people would describe the Glayzer as more controlled because of that. I have played the G-1 for a long time and playing the first few drives with the Glayzer basically made the ball drop into the net, because i was not used to...

What professional league are you playing in ? Perhaps we can find some top coach to help you adjust ! If it was not obvious by now, i am obviously joking. You find it too hard to play a fast blade with rubbers that professionals use. What makes you think that you could control them, while the...

So you do compare MK in 2.0 to G-1 in max ? less grip is debatable. MK has a more modern topsheet which is highly grippy but at the very same time pretty suspectible to great a moist film on it which will degrade spin generation. This is similar like the Ando C48 which also has such a topsheet...

you can feel however you like about it and there might be different causes for this. Fact is that the japanese youtube channel anatomic edge has measured the Hybrid MK to be as low in catapult (in passive play) as the G-1. In terms of catapult support when doing active strokes it is hard to...

G-1 with higher throw and modern topsheet. That's it.

This is a very good point. This is also true for tips you get from other players that are better than you are currently. Take into account what these peoples rating is and how long it took them to get there. If you get some advice from somebody that has a 1500 rating while playing for 30 years...

No, hybrid M is 47,5° and g09c >50°
