Tibhar Evolution FX-D

[Charbel]

I've only tried it a few times, but if it's anything like other Tibhar rubbers, I would think it's very durable.

But the MX-P isn't

I have the fx-d on bh and fh and quite like it, but would like to to go up a notch in speed for fh. Mxp may be an option but I worry I will loose too much control. Which tibhar rubber (or other brand) would you suggest? A bit more speed than fx-d but nothing crazy speedy.

matti,

The natural evolution is to stay with the same topsheet and move up in firmness, so EL-D would be an obvious choice.

Another one would be Tibhar Aurus, it is simply easy to do most of your frequent shots with it... and the top end is there on big impacts... and this rubber been on the market forever... and it is very reasonably priced. When I make a larger order at tabletennis11.com I can get it around 30 Euros a sheet. Not bad at all for a top performing rubber.

Hello everyone,
Has anyone ever tried the FXD on the forehand instead of the ELD?
I've now tested the ELD a few times on the forehand and I really think the rubber is really nice for an offensive, forehand-oriented looping game.

The only thing that unfortunately happens more often in my game is that the balls like to go long and fly over the table (active as well as passive balls).

How do you think playing an FXD instead of the ELD would change the game on the offensive forehand?
What would be the pros and cons of each?

I am playing the ELD in 1.9 would test the FXD as well then in 1.9 if it makes sense.

I've been playing an FX-S on the BH for a long time and I'm very satisfied with it.

I've tried both the FX-P and FX-S, how different is the FX-D from the FX-S?
Also used the EL-D for a month, wonder if the FX-D has the same topsheet as the EL-D but with a softer sponge?

Hi, whats the differemce between FX-P and FX-S?

If you've tried the FX-P, it's basically like an MXP topsheet with a softer sponge.
The FX-S is a totally different rubber, sponge a bit harder and less porous, topsheet is grippier.

Haven't tried FXD yet so no comment, hopefully someone who has tried FXD on fh will comment
I wonder if the FXD will be good for flat hitting on fh.

I know that you're an advocate of the Tibhar Aurus, I never liked the vanilla Aurus, but I think the Aurus Soft I really liked. I think maybe the vanilla Aurus is just more picky in terms of blade compatibility. What are your blade selections for the vanilla Aurus? Thanks.

How do you categorise FX-D in speed, arc, control, hardness, compare to Yasaka rakza 7 soft or C1 or BF 05fx?

I think Aurus can work well on most any blade. I think you get more out of it on faster/stiffer blades...

When I use it, I use on BH... and I can flat hit the PISS outta the ball, especially if there is some incoming spin. You crack it right with FX-D, you see the stuff fly outta that ball and hear that puppy scream it is like a gigantic puppy accident.

FX-D feels a tad softer... easier to get ball into wood.

FX-P felt very linear with some top end... FX-D is way more dynamic on top end.

FX-P felt like a medium firm sponge on light impacts (maybe topsheet/)... FX-P feels same softness.

Hello,

I am still trying to understand the difference between the FX-P and FX-D. I am not sure about your last sentence.

I tried both the P and the S, I really like the P because it has very good control and dwell time, on the other hand I don't like the S so much, it is a good rubber of course, good control and awesome spin, but I don't know why, for me it feel way harder than the P. If I didn-t know the hardness, I would say it is a 47° rubber ... I find the P to be way more confortable to play, in comparaison the S has very less dwell.

So I hesit to take the P again, or to try the D. Some people say that the D is harder, but others say that it is softer than the P, I am a little confused.
