I have a Tibhar Fortino Performance blade. How does K3 on fh and MK on bh sound? Does anyone else have a similar set up?
In 2023 I Used to play with K3 on BH and MK on FH (MK Carbon blade)

Hybrid MK is much slower and coming from Tenergy80 I had to adapt my technique and learn how to improve my body coordination .

K3 is a harder rubber and was much more similar to Dignics80 which I was coming from. My BH is / was much better than my FH and those hard rubbers help put a lot of spin even with compact strokes (with right technique) but offer also lot of control with (active) blocking.

There are now Pro versions for both rubbers which I have not tried . They are harder than the non-Pro

I've tried the MK Pro and it's quite a good rubber. It's not that fast, and you have to put some power into it yourself, but the hardness on it feels very nice. Probably would recommend it to more advanced players. It all depends on preferences too, Matusdaira himself plays with the regular MK on Fh as he likse more dwell time on fh.

actually I was playing with mk fx bh and mk fh, then tried k3 fx and love it on both fh and bh. It is theoretically harder than mk, but the top sheet is so soft I can feel the ball on the racket a lot better than with MK. Mk fx was totally different rubber after 2-3 weeks, so it was a huge problem, not sure how k3 fx will behave. Also for some reason I hated k3 long time ago, but don't remember now why
