Can anyone compare Tibhar MX-D to Stiga DNA Hybrid M or H (or Platinum M or H)?
I tried DNA Platinum H 5 times ~2 years ago just after I finished with MX-D (which I played for a little bit more than a year). So my impressions are not really fresh.
MX-D felt a little bit havier for me, slightly faster (or maybe easier to get that speed out of it). Close to each other in terms of spin, I guess. Short game was better with DNA, flat hits too.
Thing that I didn't like in MX-D, that it didn't give me any options, like I should produce certain movement on certain ball, especially noticable on a first loop against underspin. That made me think all the time about what and how should I do, my old reflexes didn't work with it well. On a contrary, with DNA Platinum H I could produce weird returns (somewhat like Moregard does
). I'm not really sure why I changed it. Definitely not something bad in its performance, just didn't like something in how it feels, maybe because it forced me to produce too many weird strokes
or maybe K3 was a little bit cheaper
