Tibhar Evolution EL-P

One of the best rubbers I have ever tried. It provides excellent looping, blocking, and short game capabilities. The sound it produces on topspins is particularly pleasing. While it may be slightly soft for some players on the forehand, it has proven to be perfect for my playing style.

Después de casi 12 años jugando y tras haber probado innumerables gomas en el lado de la derecha, como T05, T05FX, Bryce FX, Friendship, Stiga Calibra, Donic 05, entre otras, he descubierto la goma ELP. Inicialmente, no me convenció cuando la usé en el revés. Sin embargo, decidí probarla en la derecha antes de cambiarla y debo decir que es la mejor goma que he utilizado. Permaneceré mucho tiempo con ella.

No tiene el arco exagerado de la T05. Posee una velocidad muy buena tanto en golpes secos y planos como en topspins. Tiene un giro que, bien trabajado, pica en la mesa y baja (muy difícil de contraatacar). Los topspins y loops con esta goma son de la misma intensidad que una T05.

En bloqueo es excelente, no tiene el efecto resorte de las Butterfly, por lo que puedes detener la velocidad con bloqueos excepcionales. Esta goma es sobresaliente en golpes planos, puedo golpear bolas con facilidad que vienen con efecto de picos sin que salgan de la mesa.

Los servicios quizás no tengan tanto efecto pero con una buena técnica puedes sacarle provecho. No posee un gran corte, pero restar con esta goma es su principal debilidad. Es una goma con un excelente control. Es mejor a media distancia. A larga distancia se requiere una buena técnica para que llegue con fuerza y spin. A corta distancia no es muy recomendable debido a su arco bajo. Sin embargo, podrás realizar flicks de derecha imparables.

En contragolpe es muy rápida. Aunque no tiene tanta catapulta, los contraataques son muy rápidos. Los topspins contra topspins deben hacerse suaves porque si no, saldrán de la mesa.

En resumen, me encanta. Se adapta a mi juego y ha mejorado mis faltas en la derecha. Intento usar muchos golpes de drive y gano muchos puntos ya que vienen muy rápido y bajan al final de la mesa. Recomiendo esta goma a jugadores intermedios, no a principiantes, ya que es rápida y pesada, además de algo gruesa. Para los profesionales puede resultar algo lenta.

El sonido de esta goma cuando roza la bola es puro caucho, un sonido hermoso que no se parece a ningún otro.

I was accustomed to the older SINUS rubber, which I favored for its distinct sound and the abrupt popping sound it produced during fast, short strokes. I sought a similar experience but made a mistake in my selection. Regarding speed, this rubber falls short compared to SINUS. I should have verified the sponge hardness and compared it to SINUS beforehand.

Despite being affixed to my Tibhar H-1-9 bat, I’ve continued using it for two weeks. Apart from its speed, I find this rubber quite satisfactory. It provides excellent grip, and its arc during looping is aesthetically pleasing. Controlling the ball is considerably easier.

I’ve decided to retain this rubber for my practice sessions with my coach. It necessitates precise strokes to generate speed, which aids in refining my technique. However, this rubber is not suited for competitive play.

I recently purchased another racket, the Nittaku Holz Sieben, and equipped it with Aurus Prime, which appears to be more similar to SINUS based on its specifications. I intend to test it next week. I trust that I have made an appropriate blade selection for competitive play.

Paired this rubber (Max) on a Joola Rosskopf Emotion blade on both sides and found that the speed is there when you need it. The spin is very nice along with a nice feel and touch with good control. Blocking and ball placement come easy. A very nice setup overall.

Amazing control allows for the execution of powerful and spinny strokes with ease.

Tested on the forehand of my XIOM Offensive S in MAX sponge, this rubber plays like a slightly softer version of Vega Pro, or possibly like T05-FX but with greater control. It’s a really nice rubber that definitely sits perfectly between FX-P and MX-P. It offers good control, is fast, and doesn’t lack spin.

I had no issues with using it for short games or further back from the table. However, I wouldn’t recommend this rubber for anyone who is just starting out and looking to hone their technique.

Top control in 1.7mm.
Very good backhand rubber.

I have been using this rubber for the last three months. What makes this rubber amazing is the amount of control it provides with a good amount of speed and spin.

The only disadvantage of this rubber is that it is a little bit heavy (I don’t really have a problem with that).

If you feel that the MXP is quite fast and uncontrollable and the FXP and FXS are quite slow, then this rubber will be a great choice for you.

EL-P and MX-P have been my main go-to rubbers for a while until I moved onto Rasanter R47 and then to Goldarc 8 that I currently use. EL-P has a great feel when playing. It’s not bouncy, it has great control, and creates a tremendous amount of spin. When looping or driving, it gives you a distinct “chewy,” for lack of a better term, feel. You can really feel the rubber grab the ball and dig into the sponge, then catapulting it towards your opponent. Any all-round attacker would love this rubber.

However, if you want more power and speed, I’d go for MX-P as EL-P lacks a little bit in that department. In terms of durability, the top sheet lasts a long time, but the sponge doesn’t. You’ll feel it in 2~3 weeks of use just like MX-P. If you use it regularly, I’d say it’s got 6~8 weeks of lifespan.

Good:

• Good spin
• Good speed
• Medium shot angle
• Excellent build quality

Cons:

• Very High weight, equal or more than Chinese rubber despite having a medium hard sponge
• Not recommended for wood weighing more than 87 grams

FH performance review:

• Difficult to make loops and topspins due to linearity
• Looping balls often flew off the table with a slight touch
• Strong topspins often touched the net

BH performance review:

• Better suited for BH due to medium throw and top speed
• Some balls slipped on the rubber during loops
• Good blocking performance

This is a very versatile rubber. It does a bit of everything. Speed is decent, spin is good, control is above average. However, it does not excel in any one area. For me, it is a solid backhand rubber.

On the negative side, it is heavy and durability is not great (factory boosted). All in all, it is a good all-around rubber.

Very good professional rubber. Good job, Tibhar!
An alternative for Tenergy 05 FX… and a magnificent sound in topspin strokes!

Compared to the T80, this rubber offers better control in the short game. It is an excellent backhand rubber available at a reasonable price.

The Tibhar Evolution EL-P feels quite soft to the touch — softer than MX-S, MX-P, and the EL-S rubbers, and more similar to Andro’s Rasant Grip. For a ~43-degrees rubber, it is quite heavy, weighing 48 grams when cut to the 157 x 150 mm test blade. This puts it within one gram of the MX-P, Nittaku’s Fastarc G-1, and Xiom’s Omega V Euro and Pro rubbers.

The first couple of FH drives quickly revealed that the EL-P is a level slower than the MX-rubbers and marginally slower than the EL-S, although shots played with greater arm acceleration seem to activate a prominent catapult giving the impression of high speed.

I have been using Evolutiom EL-P for two months now and it is a product of excellent quality. I was initially hesitant because I had been using TENERGY 05 on my backhand. However, I do not regret my decision at all.

SPIN:
Excellent, especially with the right technique. The ball accelerates on the court, making it difficult for the opponent to return underspins, topspins, and situations in between.

BLOCK:
Wonderful. The control is outstanding, allowing you to place the ball precisely where you want while taking care of the angle of the racquet. Passive and punch blocks can be executed with ease.

SPEED:
The rubber seems to be quite fast, perhaps slightly less or almost as fast as TENERGY 05.

TOPSPIN:
As mentioned in the SPIN section, everything depends on the technique. I use a backhand with good wrist movement and feel that the combination of control and spin has greatly improved my attacks. You can execute soft attacks with a lot of spin, strong attacks, or smashes with ease.

CONTROL:
In this aspect, the rubber seems to be better than TENERGY 05 and 64. The speed and spin are high, but the control is also very high.

SERVES:
As mentioned before, the rubber produces a lot of spin, but I sometimes feel that it is too bouncy when serving. One thing is for sure, your serves will have a lot of spin.

THROW ANGLE:
Many people say it is medium-high or medium, but to me, it often seems a bit linear when I want to give more power to the shot. However, this can be fixed with a technical adjustment.

Overall, I highly recommend this rubber. It offers good speed, excellent control, precise blocks, attacks with plenty of spin, and a lot of spin on serves. And best of all, it comes at a great price.

Hi All!

I’ve had the opportunity to play with this rubber for more than six months, usually 8 hours a week, including routine training, free play, and competitive events. I used it on two blades, the Donic Waldner World Champion '89 and the Butterfly Liu Shiwen, on my BH (MX-P on FH). I tried the rubber unboosted and boosted.

First of all, the rubber has a nice, faint red, small-pored sponge that is medium hard. The topsheet feels grippy but not tacky. The rubber has a medium throw with tempo, but the dwell time is very nice. I would say that it is comparable to the Donic Bluefire M2 rubber. To compare them, I must say that EL-P is a tad faster, less dwell, lifts less, is a bit more harsh, and has lower dwell time. Compared to the Butterfly Tenergy 64, T64 has a bit more control and a softer feel, yet the speed is the same. This feeling is due to the EL-P’s harder topsheet. To clarify the scale of these differences that I highlighted, they don’t really matter if you are playing a spin-oriented attacking game. When it comes down to passive play and fine touching the ball, M2 behaves the most forgiving, while EL-P is the least forgiving. However, if you hit your balls with average technique, these differences will not matter.

Blade selection is an important factor for a rubber and vice-versa. EL-P is working fine on flexible blades like Liu Shiwen and does not feel mushy on stiff blades like Waldner World Champ '89.

When we speak of durability, my etalon is MX-P and older sheets (2010) of Tenergy 05-s. With this routine, I mentioned I could play a year and a half with occasional re-boosting the sheets happily and effectively. Well, EL-P wears off a tad faster when the top layer of the rubber sheet gets used. At this time, some boosting has to be done, and at the same time, the rubber surface must be given a thin layer of oil to regain some grip. After treatment, the sheet is ready to go for 2-3 months.

This is a solid rubber, but there are better options available. It does not have one overpowering characteristic, but it does offer a good balance of speed and spin. However, it is not the most controllable rubber on the market.

The most common point of comparison for this rubber is the Tenergy 05 FX. This rubber has a softer topsheet than the T05FX, but a harder sponge. As a result, it provides less spin and control than the T05FX, but it offers more top-end speed. The grip on this rubber is also less than the T05FX, which can lead to the ball slipping on counterloops. This was much more frequent than with the T05FX.

Finally, this rubber is a little heavier than the T05FX. An uncut max sheet was 70g.

I respectfully disagree with those who feel that this rubber lacks spin. I just switched to this from the Acuda P2 (no slouch in the spin department), and my coach commented on the impressive spin I was getting with this rubber on my backhand. At the same time, this rubber seems very forgiving, especially since it is rather speedy. It is just on the soft side of medium, but noticeably firmer than FX-P rubber (which was too mushy for my taste).

It is very good at pushes and service returns, as it is forgiving for an offensive rubber. I like the Acuda P2 a lot. However, I am going to stick with this rubber because it has a less flat ball arc, which makes it better for looping underspin. Finally, EL-P is good both close and at a distance.

Using it as a replacement for P7 on my backhand. It works great, providing good performance with blocks, pushing, and lifting backspins. It also allows for putting a decent spin on the ball.

The sponge hardness of this rubber is between that of T05 and T05fx. It has less speed than T05 and T05fx, and less spin as well. However, it offers more control than T05 and T05fx, and is less sensitive to incoming spin. Overall, after playing with MXP, I had higher expectations for it.

I used this rubber for backhand and it feels very comfortable here.
I can block against loops and smashes more easily than with the T05 I previously used for backhand. (By the way, I just didn’t know that T05 is actually for forehand and I know it now.)
Strong smashes can also be made easily.
Control is very good here.
Excellent rubber!

After playing with Tenergy 05, 05-fx, 80, Andro Rasant, Rasant Grip, and Donic Bluefire JP 01 Turbo, I can confidently say that Evolution EL-P is a great rubber for all aspects of the game. It excels in spin, smash, block, and push.

I’m surprised that Evolution EL-P is not more popular on the market. When I switched from Tenergy 05 to EL-P, I was concerned about counter loops. Tenergy has a very high throw angle, making it easy to counter loop. However, EL-P makes blocking closer to the table safer. The ball is less likely to go over the table (although this may be due to my own technical deficiencies). Despite this, counter loops are still relatively easy.

Overall, Evolution EL-P is highly recommended for attacking players who prioritize control.

You can say that all your needs from the rubber are covered by this rubber. Spin is awesome, and you can control your desired speed from very soft to lightning-fast when you hit hard. I use this rubber on the FH of the Nittaku Barwell Fleet, and the overall feel is good from blocking, chopping, topspinning, and serving. I’m not saying this rubber is the best in the world, but it fits my playing style the most.

Really an equilibrated rubber! It has a fast speed and a lot of control. Fast enough to end the point with powerful shots and controlled enough to put the ball exactly where you want it.

This Rubber is of good quality and performs well during gameplay.

Less spin, control, and angle than FXP, which I use on my BH, but excellent for playing at mid-distance and countering loops. Spin and angle are equivalent to Barracuda, but with a little more control and speed. My preferred FH rubber.

This is probably the best rubber I’ve ever played with, including Bryce, Bryce FX, the whole pallet of Srivers, Tenergy… It offers perfect control, speed, and a very good amount of spin. It’s soft enough to work well with harder woods like Primorac Carbon Off+, without losing control.

This rubber is excellent and performs perfectly when blocking.

Excellent rubber, using Tensor technology.

Outstanding rubber, an unexpected surprise. Tibhar makes excellent rubbers, as good as any brand on the market.

I purchased this after reading extensively about Evo rubbers online. However, my expectations were not met. This rubber requires significantly more power to generate the same level of spin as other rubbers, which can be tiring.

Some claim that this rubber is a clone of T05, but I strongly disagree. After two hours of testing all shots, I switched back to T05 for comparison. The difference was striking. T05 is far superior, like a beast compared to a puppy. With the same movements, you rediscover the spin, power, and massive arcs that EL-P lacks.

One advantage of EL-P is that it forces you to brush the ball firmly. Otherwise, generating sufficient spin is challenging. Xiom Sigma Euro also surpasses EL-P in spin capabilities.

Use this type of rubber on the backhand. It has good spin and grip. I play twice a week for about 2 hours. In these conditions, the rubber lasts for me 4-5 months, after that it loses the grip.

Good for blocking and control.

Throw angle too high for me.

The spin potential is very high, and the grip on the ball is better than I expected. What caught me by surprise is how bouncy the catapult is - I thought it would not be very high for the degree of hardness in the sponge. From my personal experience, it feels like a professional rubber and is very powerful, but crafted to be of medium hardness and suitable for intermediates. The rubber also leaves little margin of error, which forces the player to maintain good form.

After using this rubber regularly for about 4 months now, I can sense a drop in performance in my backhand game. I am not sure if it’s just me or the rubber, but something doesn’t feel right. The 1.8 rubber does bottom out and no longer has the kick it showed in the first 3 months of using it. Great service from tabletennis11, as always!

I like it a lot. This rubber is a classic but still modern. It has a great feeling, a great curve, plenty of spin, and good speed. It is a plug and play rubber. I would like a little more spin, although it has a lot. The EL-P has a curve that always goes in. They say that EL-P doesn’t last long, but I think it lasts long enough and doesn’t lose its properties. If you clean it properly and use Revolution 3 cleaner periodically, it lasts a long time.

Playing on the forehand side; it’s well balanced between speed and control. Having real fun with that rubber.
It would be great if there was a map of all rubbers that shows speed spin parameters. It could improve the process of choosing a rubber.

One of the best rubbers I have tried, in terms of price-quality comparison, it has nothing to envy to other rubbers. Excellent touch.

The combination of Tibhar EL-P medium sponge and a fast carbon blade provides good control for returning serves and speed for hard smashes and top spin attacks.

Stable shots and good control.

Mulțumit de livrare!

Es una goma para el atleta que necesita sensación y que aún necesita ese control adicional para lograr su máxima potencia. No es tan rápida como la serie Dynaryz de Joola y me parece que la Yasaka X, con características similares, ofrece más empuje. Tienes que combinarla con maderos muy rápidos de carbón tradicional para sacarle toda la potencia. En contra, tiene baja durabilidad.

Enjoyed it, felt high quality and sticky.

Good rubber with excellent control and spin. I highly recommend it for backhand play.

Perfect for use on the backhand.

Good speed but not enough spin.

Best rubber on the backhand. Powerful.

It’s the most suitable backhand rubber I have used.

I like this rubber on the backhand.
The spin is okay.
Smashing is excellent. But I need some time to get used to this rubber.

I have been using these rubbers for a while and they are the best. They have a very good grip and feeling.

Great product with excellent service and price.

Put this rubber on my backhand and I love it.
The blade is Samsonov Limited.
Suddenly, I can make these amazing backhand shots that should not be possible according to the laws of physics. I used to have VariSpin D.Tecs before. This rubber provides great control and amazing curves that land the ball right in front of the net on the opponent’s side. :)

Switched from Rakza 7 to this on the backhand, and I won’t be going back. Nice speed and spin without being unforgiving. Flatter hits are fine too.

Good for the backhand.

Best service ever. Very quick delivery! Thank you, tabletennis11.com.

Pro: Slightly softer compared to Mx-P, easier to control, still very fast.
Con: Still a very heavy rubber (dense sponge). If you prefer a lighter setup, use a thinner version of it or a lighter blade. Very good when paired with an ALC blade.

Review text:

Very similar to Tenergy 64 with a slightly harder surface. Spiny and durable. Speed is adequate.

This rubber is a fast rubber with a hard sponge. It’s spinny, but not as spinny as FX-P. It’s not as sensitive to incoming spin as FX-P. In my opinion, it’s suitable for advanced players who prefer topspin very close to the net and those who like to counter hit because of its low throw angle.

This rubber has been written about a lot. I recommend choosing a 2.0 thickness from the entire Evolution series as the most grippy one. Very pleasant sound. Can be played from both sides - left or right.

Lots of spin and speed!

I really don’t use anything else. The “3 for 4” deal makes this and the MXP a no-brainer. It is a fast rubber with a lot of control. And as for ordering from TableTennis11, they are easy to deal with, quick, and cheaper than their competitors.

I tried this rubber on a Timo Boll ALC for my backhand. I was trying out different rubbers for my backhand, and this one was good - not the best but good.

Fast medium soft rubber. It is very easy to penetrate and has a strong catapult effect, the sponge with large pores is very different from EL-S. It is better to put it on soft, but non-vibrating bases.

This is a big classic, powerful rubber. Tons of spin and speed. I used it on my FH. It’s heavy, so I’d recommend not the max thickness or at least a soft rubber on the BH, otherwise, your paddle will weigh like a brick. It’s not a rubber for beginners because you need to push hard to release the power this rubber has. But if your stroke is well executed, you’re gonna be surprised. Low trajectory but enough arc to go over the net. Counter loops and topspins will be fantastic. No way your opponent can return them. I changed it because I can’t be consistent over time, since you need a lot of body movement and physical good condition in order to make it work properly. It doesn’t forgive much, so if you wanna play relaxed, try something else. Highly recommended to skilled players.

Just a good rubber.

Fast, bouncy rubber with fair control and spin. Good for developing players. Loses elasticity after 4-5 months of moderate/heavy use. If you’re looking for a high tempo developing BH, this is a feasible option. Also, it might be good on the forehand for beginners. Good/slightly faster Tenergy alternative. I have been using it since April 2019. Used on Viscaria.

Muy bueno para los que rotan mucho. Excelente spin. Y muy buena durabilidad.

I put it on my Koki Niwa carbon blade. This rubber is a little soft, so the ball does not go out very fast but can generate a lot of spin. Overall, a decent rubber.

After playing with the Tenergy 05 for about 3 years, I switched to EL-P and I’m pleased with its quality, cost, and durability. Plus, looping from my backhand is now so much fun.

Purchased for the backhand side on a Tibhar Balsa Allround 50 blade. This rubber does everything desired. It enhances the speed of the blade while maintaining fantastic control and feel characteristics for a slightly less offensive backhand style with the ability to employ surprise fast topspin attacks.

Использую эту накладку на BH уже 4 года. Мне очень нравится.

Good for everything. It depends on the player and their ability to block and attack. I recommend it. Excellent performance.

Just as easy as the Tenergy 80 but a bit heavier, but not as spinny.

I tried this rubber on the TB Spirit blade. It has enough spin for pushes and good speed as well. MXP is too fast for me. The ball goes long most of the time, even when I closed the angle of my blade. I have had this rubber for about one month. I have a spinning game. I do not know how durable this rubber is. This rubber will last longer if used by a hitter. Yasaka 7 appears to last longer for a spinning game.

Mucha rotación. Muy bueno para jugadores atacantes.

Review text:

Everything is above average. Decent speed, spin, and feeling. Feels like an upgraded Mark V. Good for backhand.

Control with good spin.

Good!

This is not only the best rubber for the money, but it’s the best rubber to play slow spin loops. The dwell time and high throw on this is ridiculous! That doesn’t mean it’s slow though for a long dwelling rubber. It is also fast for my game. It’s the perfect speed and after playing with it for 2 years, I tried to play a Tenergy 05 sheet again just out of curiosity and I actually like the EL-P much more. This rubber can play all the shots and play them well, but it excels at high spin with a nice safe arc!

Easy-playing rubber. Nothing extremely special, but does everything well. The downside is quite heavy for such an all-around rubber. It shrinks if removed and re-glued many times.

The Evo EL-P is one of those rubbers that you just can’t go wrong with. The rubber is not the fastest or the softest or the spin-iest. But it is always reliable and an all-around type rubber that you can play many strokes with. It bites the ball enough to lift backspin fairly well. But you have to hit the ball more on the side than perpendicular to the spin to get a better lift. It generates good spin on serves that your opponent has to respect. But not like those Chinese rubbers where the ball goes crazy on spins.

For topspin play, the rubber just works. It can loop and drive and smash with ease. Similar to the backspin shot, if you hit the ball on the side instead of perpendicular, it is a lot easier to loop with this rubber. Unlike the Chinese rubbers where you can hit the ball head-on. The EL-P requires a slight change of contact point to maximize the rubber.

The rubber comes tuned. The tuning effect lasts about 2 months or so. You can put some baby oil on it and refresh the rubber again. The rubber does shrink. So when you cut the rubber, do not stretch it or you may not be able to fit it back to the paddle the next time you re-glue it. I usually just use baby oil to get the rubber size back to before. I am by no means trying to tune it for the tuning effect. So I just put one layer of baby oil to let the rubber expand back to the original size and put it back on my paddle and play for a couple months again.

Anyway, you can’t go wrong with this rubber. This is especially true for anyone who is developing or intermediate level players. For the most advanced players, this rubber may be a bit slower and less spiny than say MX-P.

On the other hand, this rubber does not react too much to incoming spin. So it is safe for developing and intermediate players.

I was using MX-P for two years and have been using EL-P for about four weeks. This rubber has a softer sponge and is more forgiving than MX-P. It is also a little bit slower than MX-P. I feel I have more control but still can generate a lot of spin. I think it is helping my game.

Great control and spin.

The spin is great on this rubber. Although a little less on speed, the amount of spin produced is higher than MX-P. The only issue is the higher throw, which I believe depends on each player’s individual playing style.

Mi medida justa para el drive.

This rubber is super.

I tried this rubber as a replacement for Tenergy 05. Firstly, it’s nothing like 05 with respect to the throw angle produced as well as the amount of spin. However, Tenergy 64 on the other hand, these rubbers are very similar in speed and trajectory. Similar in spin also. It’s very versatile, easy to block with, and very fast when paired with the right blade. Very good control for its speed and a nice low arc. Awesome backhand and forehand.

Good rubber, fast speed and good catapult effect.

Buena goma, lo único malo de la serie Tibhar es la duración de 2 a 3 meses como máximo, las otras gomas siempre me duraban más.

Very average. Speed control and spin are okay but nothing special. The good point is that it is light and suits for backhand blocking.

I’m using EL-P max on my backhand for control, blocks, opening ups, and close to mid-distance backhand spins on my Clipper CR WRB. I’m very happy that with the help of the elasticity, I can load lots of spin from my backhand for service returns. Also, at the table, you can easily open up close to the net serves. You can change the speed of the game with the help of the rubber on your backhand since it has high control.

EL-P is good for my forehand.

EL-P is good for my forehand. Before, I used Donic S1, now EL-P is the replacement fit for my play.

Highly recommended.
If you are an offensive player, you can buy this rubber.
I think MX-P is slightly faster than EL-P.

Very solid offensive rubber. It is a little bit softer than I thought it would be. Good speed. I would like it to be a little more grippy.

I use it on my backhand, it has good spin and control. Very reliable quality. I use the Max black.

The Tibhar Evolution EL-P is quite the attacking rubber. It is excellent for mid-distance range exchanges with fantastic top-spin. The contact time with the ball lasts longer than tacky rubbers or the Tenergy 05, giving more sensation of the amount of spin delivered; better for adjustment of game quality. The grip of the rubber is comparable to the Tenergy 05 and with slight wear is better than it; its wear is excellent, it will last well. The attack angle is not as small as the Tenergy 05, making it more troublesome for the short-range game; hits the net more easily on starting the top-spin rally but the speed of the rubber is definitely better than that of the Butterfly Tenergy 05, which costs at least 1.5 times the price; it is most appropriate for the forehand, but will be great for a player playing backhand not too close to the net. This rubber is used by Samsonov, the famous top 10 player (noted for his famous defensive play).

This rubber works fine for the backhand, good control, and is remarkable for offensive backhand plays. This rubber is quite soft, which is why it is suitable for the backhand.

We did not have to buy TIBHAR rubbers until we found this excellent alternative. We are happy! My son played with this brand and never exchanged it for another. He used 1T Evolution FX-P, EL-P, and P-MX. We recently found out that it is a No. 1 (Chile) translation and that he plays sponsored by the brand. This is further proof that we are correct in saying that these rubbers are the best available for our son.

Great rubber.

I have it on Nittaku’s Barwell on BH (1.7mm). It’s a great combination.
I previously played with Chinese rubbers, and I’m definitely not going back any time soon.
It’s fast but not too much, and the quality of spin and control are just amazing.
I would highly recommend.

Put it on Nittaku BASALTEC OUTER backhand, very good on speed / control / spin. Compared to my previous T64, it is a little bit slower but a very balanced rubber.

I recommend it for backhand use.

This rubber is very user-friendly, good spin and good control, but the weight of this rubber is too high.

Since Nimbus Soft, there have been many new models, including the Sinus and Genius ranges, and now the Evolution range has been superseded.

The first thing I noticed with this Evolution was that it has a bigger range of speeds - more gears - than Nimbus Soft. The ball doesn’t hop high off my blade (blade about OFF- in speed), but the oomph is there for FH loops if you put your body into it.

I found the sponge a bit mushy. As indicated on the packet, the rubber is a bit soft. This gives great feel, but less oomph. But the softness gives better control, so it comes down to what firmness you prefer. I think there is a softer version of Evolution (about 4 types in all), but I wouldn’t choose it.

If your BH isn’t strong and you need good feel, then the Nimbus Soft or this rubber would be fine, as they both give a big margin for error. Or even the softer Evolution could be ok.

I don’t know how long this rubber lasts, but the Nimbus Soft sheets I’ve bought in the past have lasted years… I haven’t worn any of them out.

Nimbus Soft doesn’t have all the gears, but it’s the training you do that counts, plus I’ve known it to last. Next time I might save myself 7 Euro and just buy the Nimbus Soft.

Nimbus Soft is very mushy: you can feel the ball penetrate into the rubber for ages. Some people like this effect and some don’t… Some momentum is lost in shots, which is why the Nimbus Soft isn’t as fast as harder sponged rubbers. The same goes for the Evolution. Overall, I think Evolution is only an evolved Nimbus, rather than revolutionary.

Its control and spin are good. Top backhand rubber.

Good rubber for backhand. Fast and has a lot of control.

It is a very good backhand rubber.

Very good.

This is very good. I like it very much!

Very good rubber.

Good for backhand or all-around player.

Good rubber. I liked the 2.0 mm thickness specifically. It plays well on hard surfaces.

Good rubber for BH. Very fast and has a lot of control.

For me personally, this is a very fine product. The perfect backhand rubber to pair with Chinese rubbers or Tenergy 05 on the forehand. Medium, semi-soft sponge, but does not bottom out. Great control. Good spin and power. Very forgiving and linear. 90% power compared to other bouncy rubbers in its generation, but has more gears, and is more predictable. Not really a Tenergy replacement. But it has a dynamic feeling right out of the package. Worth a try, for sure. This is definitely a rubber to consider if you don’t want to pay for Tenergy on both sides!

Great rubber, great feel, and control.

I can’t find this rubber in Brazil. Very good price and shipment.

This is a very good rubber.

My first combo and it fits with Xiom Hayabusa ZXi. Great spins and control.

버터플라이 비스카리아에 포어핸드 MX-P, 백핸드에 EL-P를 사용하고 있습니다. 고성능의 러버치고는 융통성도 굉장히 좋아 라켓에 공이 닿기만 하면 리턴되는 것 같은 마법을 부립니다. 저에게 더 이상의 조합은 없습니다.

Spinny and fast.

Super for backhand.

Super rubber.

I used this rubber for a couple of sessions and didn’t need to adjust much from what I was used to playing with Tenergy 64 on my backhand. I tried to loop with my forehand, but it has less tension compared to what I was used to with Tenergy 05. The top sheet has more grip or is a little tackier than the Tenergy series. The spin is very good and very easy for blocking. The top sheet looks like it has never been used after 4 or 5 hours of playing time. However, I don’t know how long the rubber will last yet, but the price is more reasonable compared to Tenergy.
