I played with my Hybrid XH today again after some time, but only for maybe 5-10 minutes and I couldnt play that many different Kind of shots.
I had glued and played with it some time ago, but I havent touched it ever since.
It is only lightly tacky, but it has good grip.
On forehand from mid distance it has good Spin and arc, but I felt like it wasnt so speedy and lacked consistent Power, it lost some speed near the table.
My forehand loops with Loki R9 had more quality and penetration.
Although I cant compare to Other Hybrid rubbers, I can say it is like a more tensor Version of the LAC, less dwell time and more inbuilt kick effect that sends the ball out faster.
Then I Tried it on Backhand and was pleaseantly suprprised.
Felt ( almost) like Fan Zhendong from mid distance and close to the table power loops and counter loops.
The ball landed near the end of the table with good quality.
Grip, dwell time, power output and control felt really good.
I might switch From G-1 to the Hybrid XH in the near future.
Last time I Tried the XH, I couldnt play the hard and fast shots, due to my Training partners and the circumstances at the time
With low and Medium Power it felt uncontrolled and not linear.
But for faster shots and Finishers, the hybrid XH did really well.
Control, Spin and grip from the topsheet and good speed output if you have the technique for it.
It doesnt fit as a forehand rubber for me, as I prefer Chinese style rubbers and not so much hybrids or tensors.
On Backhand it worked well and can recommend it.
Experience will be your best teacher, as always.
