Hello all,
A long time ago I tried the MX-P rubber and liked the feeling of it a lot. However, due to the lower spin when compared to other rubbers I decided to choose another rubber. Now with the K3 hybrid's release I was once again interested in Tibhar. Most of the reviews I find online are mainly comparing the overal characteristics of K3 to D09c or similair rubbers, none I found compared it to the MX-P. Looking at the raw numbers I see the following:
MX-P: 125/80/120
K3: 118/100/130
Simply looking at these stats the K3 is close to what im looking for. My main question on it is the feeling of the rubber. I know MX-P has the blood red sponge which is not the same as the one K3 has (creamy white). Therefore the feeling should already be different. Do these rubbers feel somewhat similair? The main thing I liked about the MX-P was the crispness on harder strokes, does the K3 share this feeling, or is it a completely different feeling?
And another question. On paper the K3 is also close to Andro's new rubber Rasanter C53. Has anyone managed to try both of these and is able to compare them? I played with the C53 for some time and found it really good, except for controlled spinning. When not going all out with the C53 a lot of balls tend to go into the net because you need to engage the sponge. With me sometimes being less confident I lose some points to this. But whenever I just go for it I can easily dominate (over)spin rallys. So im wondering how the K3 compares to this, does it share the same characteristics?
With kind regards,
Martijn Heemskerk
