Tibhar Evolution MX-P

This rubber is a great buy due to its affordability and good quality.

Top high end speed and spin even with a slow blade.

Very consistent, but not a lot of control because of the speed.

Great for a very fast forehand and great for backhand punch.

It’s fine for pushing and flicking the ball.

The best rubber on the backhand.

This rubber is incredibly fast and is undoubtedly one of the best attack rubbers for both forehand and backhand play. Its spin and control are also commendable. However, despite being an excellent rubber sheet, it may not be suitable for all playing styles.

This rubber is well-suited for both backhand and forehand shots.

Using this 2.1 on FH and 1.9 BH on Nittaku Acoustic for the last month or so. At first, I had trouble getting used to the speed. But as it gets broken in, the speed, control, and spin are near perfect.

As an added bonus, it is pretty insensitive to incoming spin. I’m not sure how that is possible considering how spinny it is. But serve returns with this rubber are the easiest I have experienced, on a par with short pips.

At the same time, my loops are better than ever (owing in part to the Acoustic, I’m sure). Best rubber I’ve used.

I love these rubbers, combined on a fast wood the control is there and the ball spins extremely. I use it on my forehand.

Better than Tenergy 05 in every aspect.

• Main article: Tibhar MX-P

• I have been using MX-P on both sides for two years now on a Samsonov Alpha blade. I have used this blade for a long time but experimented with many rubbers including Tenergy 05, Tibhar Genius, Tibhar Sinus and Tibhar Aurus.

• In terms of speed, the MX-P is a beast. Probably a fraction quicker even than T05. However, control is quite good and I’m sure for me personally it helps that the Alpha blade is medium paced rather than super-fast.

• It topspins very well but I would say you will appreciate this more if you are a drive player rather than a brush-loop player. Flat hitting is also not a problem. In fact it’s really fun with this rubber.

• I don’t think anyone will claim that this is the best rubber for a short, push game simply because of its bounce and speed although if this is the lesser part of your game you won’t feel too disadvantaged.

• It deals with incoming spin really well and as a result is very, very good at blocking. This is something I have noticed with all the Tibhar rubbers I have used.

• In my time using Tenergy 05 - which I also really enjoyed - my blocks against strong topspin were going noticeably higher, playing into my opponents hands. For me, this is the main reason why MX-P is my preferred option but I do appreciate those with better technique than me may find blocking equally easy with both MX-P and Tenergy 05.

• In comparing these two rubbers the other advantage for the MX-P user is the price. Players typically pay 10 pounds or more extra per sheet of Tenergy. Not such an issue for those of us who replace rubbers at best once a season but for those who play a lot and change every four weeks, the price must be a factor.

• All in all, a super attacking rubber.

Very responsive rubber with lots of gears, spin, and speed. In short game, you still keep a lot of control, which is very surprising for such a fast rubber.

Incredible. Incredible…

The rubber is super spinny and bouncy. The control is great and the price is reasonable. I would definitely recommend this rubber to anyone looking for a good all-around rubber.

I have been using MXP for almost three years now. The first year was with one of the very few blades made by Adidas, but unfortunately, I could never find its specifications. It was on the heavier side, and combined with MXP on both backhand and forehand, it produced amazing spin from a step away from the table. I am someone who uses a lot of lower body (more than required) to loop underspin. My stroke and MXP complemented each other, and I got the best use out of it.

I moved on to TBALC with MXP for the next six months, which took a lot of getting used to. One immediate thing I noticed with ALC + MXP is that my close-to-the-table counterloop was extremely effective. I couldn’t produce as much spin far away from the table as I used to because of the new blade. However, if you’re someone who wants to go up to a semi-professional level with a new setup where you rely on spin more than speed, TB ALC + MXP is the best combination to go with.

I tried using T05 for a couple of months. The difference between MXP and T05 was that I had more control over soft with MXP where I would lose my gripping or bat angle. I could land the ball easily for sudden out-of-position short strokes with MXP, which I clearly could not do with T05 (my guess is T05 takes a lot of time to get used to and to get the feel and control).

The only downside with MXP is its lifespan. With 15 hours a week training, you might get two months out of it. It gradually loses its ability to produce effective spin.

MXP and MXS Rubber Review

Forehand:

MXP Max, red on a Drinkhall defensive blade. Swapped the FXS for MXP, which feels slightly softer, resulting in minimal impact on forehand performance.

Spin, speed, control, and blocking are excellent. Serves possess good speed and spin, easily allowing variation in pace and spin. Looping against backspin is effective, showcasing improved technique.

Backhand:

MXS Max, black on backhand. Noticeably superior to the FXP. It provides direct and responsive play, with enhanced spin and speed.

Comparison:

Identifying significant differences between MXP and MXS is challenging. Both rubbers excel on both backhand and forehand sides.

Compared to T80FX used on a Stiga defensive pro blade, T80FX offers greater speed, linearity, and catapult effect. However, it proved less forgiving for players of my standard, making MXP/MXS more preferable.

Stiga Mantra M 2.1mm on a Butterfly Tamca 5000 blade was an extremely fast setup, bordering on uncontrollable for me. I plan to experiment with MXP/MXS/T80FX on the Tamca blade to assess their speed in comparison to the Stiga Mantra.

This rubber is very comparable to T05 but is significantly superior. It offers more spin and is relatively easy to play with. Several experienced players in my club have switched from T05 to this exceptional rubber.

Perfect match for Nittaku blade Septear Lead Off.

Very Happy ;-).

Tibhar Mx-P is the rubber used by professional and advanced players. It excels in flat hitting and blocking, earning a 10/10 rating.

In terms of spin, serve, and touch game, it receives a 9/10 rating. Looping is also rated highly at 9/10.

The catapult is medium after a break-in period of one week. After one month, it becomes very linear, requiring effort in looping and topspin. Backspin consistency remains stable during this time.

After two months or 125 hours of play, the speed and spin diminish significantly, approaching the level of Mark V rubber. Boosters can extend the lifespan by one month.

No other rubber currently matches the Mx-P’s combination of excellent blocking and flat hitting capabilities, along with very good looping with a medium-high throw.

Compared to Tenergy 05, the Mx-P has slightly less spin, but significantly higher speed, lower durability, and a lower throw. Overall, it is an exceptional tournament rubber.

Nice rubber, an upgraded Genius. The topsheet is improved compared to previous generations. The throw is medium, similar to TG2, which complements it well on the backhand. It generates good spin but requires sponge engagement to achieve it. The topsheet grab is good but not comparable to rubbers like T05.

For an offensive rubber, it is surprisingly linear on the low end and offers good control. However, there are two drawbacks:

1. It can be challenging to anticipate when the catapult kicks in, particularly after the factory booster dissipates.
2. It requires an experienced blocker for training, as intermediate players may struggle to block full strokes consistently with this rubber.

Overall, it remains one of the best ESN rubbers.

Extreme speed rubber review:

• Extreme speed, perfect for smashing but too heavy.
• Spin is not the strong point of this rubber.

Update:

After using this rubber for almost 6 months, I can say that it is perfect for serves and openings. It gives you enough spin to clear the net and tremendous speed. It is also easy to counterloop and play away from the table even on slow blades.

This rubber is significantly more powerful than Tenergy!

The only difference is that you can hit flat with this rubber, while Tenergy will go off the table.

Use a thickness of 1.8-2.0 mm.

Any thicker than that would be difficult to control.

This rubber offers the best value for your money.

This rubber is good for backhand. Active blocking is okay. It has a low throw, more speed and power than T64, and less filling, but still okay.

Fastest rubber I’ve used. Short game and blocks are okay. Lifting backspin is easy. The rubber is not hard at all, it’s only 45+ degrees and is much softer than Vega Pro/Omega V Asia. Topspins are crazy fast but can go long with hard strokes.

The rubber is factory-tuned, so the lifetime is not so long.
Suitable for high-level play close to the table with short strokes.

Wow! I am coming from a Tenergy 80 on my FH (like the user Killerspint), and I have purchased one of these for my new Timo Boll ALC blade. What a feeling, what a speed! I can do good spinny spins, I have control, I can smash. Very happy of this choice so far!

One of the best rubbers in the market, unfortunately, it has durability issues. After 2 - 4 weeks of continuous use, you need to replace it. Go for it if the budget is not an issue or you have sponsors.

This is a great overall rubber. You can play in many different styles with it. It is fast and spinny, but it also has good control. You can play close to the table or away from it effectively.

It is a great rubber for aggressive players. It is fast and produces great spin. However, it is a bit harder to control than T05, so keep that in mind. You need to be at least a certain skill level to exploit the potential of this rubber. It requires good impact timing and form.

When boosted, it is even better! However, the lifespan of the sponge is pretty short. After about 2~3 weeks of training, you will start to feel the sponge losing its power. The topsheet does last much longer, with a lifespan of about 6~8 weeks if you use them regularly.

If boosted, it will be good for about 4~6 weeks and also requires reapplication of booster oil after about 2~3 weeks. Regardless, it still lasts longer than Tenergy at only about half the price (when they’re on sale)!

It is very fast and not easy to be controlled… I tried to play in my FH (forehand) when I first bought it, but then used it in my backhand instead.

I first used this rubber with max sponge thickness (2.1-2.2) on Donic Ovtcharov True Carbon for my FH. I was quite unsatisfied because the setup was too heavy for me, although it produced a good amount of spin and speed but not that good in terms of ball feel. Because of this, I decided to try this rubber with 1.9-2.0 sponge thickness on the same blade.

I was surprised with this setup because the difference in sponge thickness was way more evident that I expected it to be. With the thinner sponge, it was able to give me a better feel as it allowed me to feel the blade directly better especially during counterhits and touchplays. Its slightly tacky topsheet produced a considerable amount of spin on my serves and FH loops, and what even helped is the reduced sponge thickness that made it more controllable and consistent due to reduced rebound.

Blocks were also easy with the 1.9-2.0 version of this rubber because there is no unnecessary rebound unlike the max sponge version. The only drawback with using a thinner sponge for MX-P was its reduced speed. However, I would rather lose some amount of speed for my attacks but get way better ball feel for my strokes than use a max sponge MX-P and get a powerful attack but poor ball feel.

Compare to T05. Test on the same blade with consistent stroke, multiball and robot pong. Playing style: looping and drive. Speed is not very different. Spin: T05>MXP. Throw angle: T05>MXP. Catapult effect: MXP>T05. Hardness: MXP>T05. T05 is best for looping, MXP is best for drive. MXP is easy to use and easy to reach the catapult effect.

So which one is the best rubber? It depends on your playing style and skill level. Borrow from your friends, test both on the same blade and you will get the answer. They are good rubbers with different characters. One is cheap and easy to play and the other one has a higher price and is more suited to pro players.

I have tried many rubbers and I found only 2 rubbers that are nearly the same character as T05. They were Dhs GA8 & MXP. After 5 years using T05, I would say there is no T05 alternative. If you love MXP, it was good news because you can save a lot, half the price of T05. So, good luck…

What a gem! I agree with all the positive reviews about this rubber. It may be a bit heavy, but its performance is absolutely perfect.

Speed and Control:
Impressively offers good speed alongside excellent control, enabling precise and effective gameplay.

Spin:
While it provides decent spin, it exhibits a slight limitation in generating topspin, particularly at high speeds. This aspect may require some adjustment for players who rely heavily on spin.

Play Style Suitability:
This rubber excels in forehand (FH) strokes and is particularly well-suited for offensive players seeking a balance of speed and control.

The fastest rubber I’ve ever used by far, it’s often described as the fastest on the market right now. It has a very good spin and monstrous speed, often hard to be controlled. It is said to have a 45-46 degree sponge, but the speed it generates is amazing.

The biggest upset for me about this rubber is the fact that it’s heavy as all hell. It’s the heaviest rubber I’ve ever played with (I play it on a Butterfly Liu Shiwen, which has a bigger size, 158-152) and it’s head heavy oriented. It’s a great rubber, but its speed is simply too much for me.

Also, an important factor is the durability. This rubber is factory boosted and after 3 months it kinda feels like dead.

Good rubber for offensive style. It’s not forgiving, and the spin is not as high as stated. The rubber feels hard when playing around 50 degrees but does not look like it when pressing. It’s best suited for soft or medium-hardness blades.

Review text:

Used it in max thickness, red, FH. Played 6 hrs only so far. Best rubber I have used ever. Better than Andro Rasant. Shoots the ball, great catapult effect, huge spin that is speedy, the ball kicks off the table like a cobra. Amazing control for a fast rubber. Suprisingly, chops are awesome and it’s not very sensitive to incoming spin, so good for serve receives. My friend used it for >1 yr, so I know it’s very durable. Cost is not too high. I am using it on Yinhe ZLC venus 4.

Will update if there is new info…

Tibhar MX-P Table Tennis Rubber

Tibhar MX-P is an exceptional attacking rubber designed for offensive players. For those accustomed to Tenergy 05, the transition to MX-P is relatively easy due to their comparable performance. MX-P exhibits slightly higher speed and hardness than T05, along with a lower throw angle.

In terms of spin, MX-P is on par with T05 when the sponge is fully engaged, although T05 offers superior spin on brush strokes. While T05 remains the champion for pure looping due to its higher throw angle and bounciness, MX-P excels as a versatile attacking rubber.

MX-P boasts superior control and consistency compared to T05, leading to an improved short game encompassing pushes, blocks, flat hits, and serve returns. Despite its advantages in these areas, MX-P still maintains 95% of T05’s looping capabilities.

This versatile rubber can be utilized effectively on either the forehand or backhand, though the author personally prefers it on the backhand due to its slightly lower throw angle. The Tibhar MX-P is highly recommended as an excellent value, providing exceptional performance for both offensive and defensive play.

Great rubber! Very fast, but with good control over the table. It has a lower throw than Tenergy 05. This makes it good for playing near the table.

This is a hard and fast rubber with a grippy topsheet. I am coming from Xiom Vega Europe. This rubber is faster but much less predictable. This is my first day with it and I didn’t do well. I will have to try to understand its weird reaction.

This rubber is very heavy, more heavy than I expected. I will post more later.

Update: This is my second day of playing with this rubber. I am playing against a robot and I am learning different angles and stroke force. I still find the rubber is hard to control and is unpredictable.

Third day of playing with this rubber, and the rubber is just difficult to understand as the plastic ball bounces off the rubber at weird angles. The old celluloid ball plays better with this rubber. Also, I notice that the rubber has lost a significant amount of spin. I lost my money on this one. I will remove this rubber and go back to Xiom Vega Europe which is very predictable and controllable. At this point I do not even want to take a chance on another Tibhar model rubber.

UPDATE - After a few days of play, the factory applied booster has worn away, the rubber now plays predictable and natural, no more weirdness. The rubber feels medium soft, it is fast like Tenergy 05 but softer and more controllable. But unfortunately, after 1 hour of play all the spin capability of the rubber was lost. Then I cleaned the rubber and the spin came back.

This rubber is highly recommended for spin-oriented players. It provides excellent spin and control, making it a great choice for those who prioritize spin in their game.

By far, the fastest rubber I have tried. Speed is 9.5, which is very accurate, and spin is 9.4. It is very good for blocking, but since it is fast, you don’t have much dwell time to put a lot of spin on the ball. If speed is your game, buy it, but your stroke must be precise, otherwise the ball will go out of the table. It is very good rubber for my playing style (looping far from the table but close, really good for blocks on the forehand). It is definitely faster than Andro Rasant Powergrip, which I am using on the backhand, but has a little less spin. It has a lot of catapult effect.

The best T05 alternative for me.
It’s a little faster, maybe a little more controlled, and cheaper. It’s a nice forehand rubber.
Everything works well with it.

I use this rubber on my backhand and on the Stiga OC blade. I will be comparing it with Tenergy05.

First of all, this rubber weighs a lot, without exaggerating. This rubber produces tons of spin against backspin, while little effort is needed. Countertopspin is good, but not over the top amazing.

Flat hitting requires some placement because the high throw angle and the tensor ability, so you might have to adjust a little. Looping and topspinning are easy, but the bat angle has to be sharp. Serving has good spin.

This rubber feels slightly faster, although in the beginning, I didn’t like the dwell time of the ball on this combination, but I adjusted now. It felt “floaty” at first.

I highly recommend this for either side, forehand or backhand, whatever you prefer. On the forehand, you can apply lots of pressure with little effort. While on the backhand, you can drive, topspin, and finish points with a lot of power.

The rubber’s hardness allows for close and mid-range shots, depending on the frame you have to be very powerful.

Fast rubber with good control. The topsheet is very flexible, making the rubber not feel as hard as it is rated. I think this is the most balanced rubber from the Tibhar Evolution series.

Very solid forehand rubber. It performs well close to the table with loops and drives. I haven’t tried it on the backhand much, so I can’t really comment on its effectiveness there. Overall, it’s a really strong attacking rubber. If you’re looking for a quality forehand rubber, give this one a try.

If comparing with the Tenergy series, I haven’t tested them on the same blade yet. However, for me, MXP (mine is black max) is closer to T64 or T80.

The MX-P has a softer feel than Xiom’s Omega V Tour, more akin to the Euro version or Nittaku’s Fastarc G-1. When cut to my 157 x 150 mm test blade, it weighs 49 grams, comparable to the reference rubbers.

Forehand drives excel with this rubber. The contact is crisp and produces a resounding click, boosting confidence. The catapult effect is prominent, encouraging players to step back and unleash fast forehand drives and flat hits.

Often compared to T05, I was never a big fan (user) of Tenergy rubbers, but I still have two T80 glued on some of my blades.

Thibar MX-P (46.5 degree) is a good offensive rubber, no question. However, I find Thibar MX_S and Andro Powergrip better suited to my playing style. Both MX_S and Powergrip have harder sponges (48 and 50 degrees in ESN hardness scale). I need a hard sponge with good feel for blocking.

Just my personal opinion and preference. I hope I was helpful.

Review of Table Tennis Rubber

I am a pen-holder. I used the Butterfly Cypress Max and Butterfly Special rackets with this rubber. The rubber fit both rackets well. It was a bit hard during the first four times of play (2 hours per play), which resulted in poor control of receives and dropshots. However, it softened over the following weeks, providing good control and bounce. The optimal performance period of this rubber is about 30 hours (2-hour play, 15 times), after which it gradually loses power.

The serve and power of this rubber are quite good, better than Xiom Vega Pro, Ando Rasant, Nittaku G1, and Andro Rasant Turbo. The spin is easier to generate than with Rasant Turbo and other rubbers, but it requires more technique to control the balls close to the net. It is relatively easy to perform loops, speed shots, and handle counterloops. The rubber’s lifespan is above average.

Review

This is an excellent attacking rubber with incredible catapult and speed. It’s a great alternative to Tenergy, but significantly cheaper (38 Euros in my country). It’s not suitable for beginners due to its high speed. However, once you master controlling it, you’ll experience unmatched joy in table tennis. Every shot will bring a smile to your face. Opening topspins and power looping become effortless. Serving and receiving serves using a banana flick is superb.

After trying Xioms, Yasakas, and Nittakus (Tenergy being great but expensive), I’m head over heels in love with this rubber. If you’re searching for a fast and aggressive attacking rubber, this is the one.

Update after using 2 rubbers for 1 month each

After playing with one rubber for a month, it loses approximately 20-30% of its speed and spin. It becomes noticeably different from its original performance. Note that this is not from intense training; it’s just from casual play with friends 2-3 times a week. After a month, the rubber’s characteristics change significantly. I’ve observed the same results with my second MX-P on a different blade.

April 2016:

I must admit, I’m quite disappointed with this purchase. Before using this one, I had Acuda S1 Turbo on my forehand. It was speedy and spun very well on loops. My hope was that this one would perform at the same level, if not surpass, my previous rubber. But unfortunately, it hasn’t been able to work as well for me. It’s a bit lighter than the Acuda S1 Turbo, but that’s about it. While I have Aurus on my backhand and I find it excellent, this one hasn’t lived up to par for me. I’ve decided to shelf this rubber until it wears off, and then I’ll revert back to my former rubber.

UPDATE September 2016:

I realize that I judged this rubber quite early. While it might not be the fastest out there, it definitely ranks among the best. It took me a while to get acclimated to it, but I’m happy to say that it has become one of my go-to choices.

I don’t think many will believe it, but this rubber is better than Tenergy 05 FX (for forehand, not backhand). I can’t believe its price is almost half [the price of Tenergy 05 FX].

It has slightly more spin, more control, and you don’t need to close the racket too much as with T05FX.

Speed is identical.
Power is clearly better in MXP because of its hardness.

The only concerns are the catapult effect and the feel. T05FX has a monstrous catapult, whereas MXP is okay in that department. How long these mentioned characteristics will last, time will tell.

But I’m really in love with this rubber. This will probably be my go-to forehand rubber for a few years to come, no doubt.

Good alternative for Tenergy 05 or 80, but only for the first 30 hours. After 30-50 hours of playing, it significantly loses quality, spin, and especially tackiness.

Tested on three samples.

Very good rubber in terms of performance. It’s comparable to T05/T25 in terms of speed and spin. You can also block and punch with it when needed. It’s one of the best Tenergy substitutes out there for the price. However, the weight is its downside. 2x 2.2mm is way too heavy, at least for me. I had to switch to 2.0mm on both sides, and even that is still a bit too heavy. I’m currently looking for a substitute to this rubber, but I can’t find anything that will perform as well as MXP.

It comes factory boosted, works well with Falco Tempo Long, and lasts more than average.

The best rubber I’ve found for smashing and flat hitting. It’s a formidable weapon on either BH or FH, with an initial break-in period of maybe 5 to 10 hours.

Great forehand rubber for me. I previously used Tenergy 05 2.1, but it was too fast and too bouncy on my fast medium hard all-wood 7-ply DHS Hurricane Long 3 blade. Balls were flying off the table on close to table loops and power top spin shots unless I closed my wrist every time. I also found T05 difficult to control against long pimples and heavy under spins.

MX-P offers a more linear ball trajectory, better control, and less reaction to incoming spin. Opening loops against chops are effortless, and returns and touch play are very controllable. Blocks are consistent, serves are spinny, and flicks are easy due to its speed.

Overall, MX-P is a great attacking rubber that will reach its full potential when paired with the right blade.

This rubber is not hard. It is softer than T05. I can’t believe this misinformation.

A cheaper price with a similar experience to Tenergy.

The best rubber I have ever used is Timo Boll ALC. It’s a perfect combination for forehand loops. It’s rally strong and fast, control is great, and the spin is one of the strongest I’ve ever felt. Using this rubber with a carbon blade is the best way to feel the real power and control. I give it a 9.5 overall. It’s perfect.

Can’t add more than the comments below.

Better than T05.

Review text:

I agree with someone who described it as a hybrid of Chinese and Japanese/European rubber. It’s the fastest rubber I’ve used for service. It’s easy to keep the ball low, short, and spinny. The short game is exceptional.

However, when you increase the racket speed, the sponge compresses, and the speed becomes explosive. At this point, the control decreases, so you need to be precise with your strokes.

Loops are fast, low, and have heavy spin. Even against moderate backspin, I had to close my racket angle as if looping a dead ball. My third ball attacks were incredibly fast, but again, I needed to be extremely precise or I would miss long. Counterlooping was also tricky unless I backed off from the table significantly.

Smashing, hitting, and blocking were also quite good.

I recommend this to highly skilled and aggressive players. However, if you prefer high, slow opening topspins or looping/counterlooping from close range, you may not appreciate this rubber.

One of the best rubbers ever made, comparable to T80, which I’ve played for over a year. It plays like a boosted T80. Unlike T80, this rubber shows its full power even on flexible blades. T80 plays well on stiff blades like Viscaria but feels dead on flexible blades like innerforce AL.

In fact, MX-P is so much faster that IF AL + MX-P is still faster than Viscaria + T80.

The only MAJOR issue for me with MX-P is its weight. It’s very heavy, even compared to Tenergies.

But if you’re playing with an ALC blade like Viscaria/TBS and want more power than non-boosted Tenergies, you can boost your Tenergies or go for MX-P. A boosted T80 with 2 layers is about the same weight as MX-P.

I train 18 hours per week and compete every 2 weeks. Concerning durability compared to T80:
With T80, after 4 weeks I can already feel a loss of performance, which becomes significant after 6 weeks. It feels like the rubber has lost its “spring sponge” and while it still has good grip, the speed is gone. I change the rubber after 6 weeks because it’s unplayable unless I boost it. T05 and T64 maintain their speed better over time.

With MX-P, there is also a drop of performance after 4 weeks, but it impacts only spin and not much speed. The drop of performance is more gradual than T80. I also change it after 6 weeks, but a 6-week-old MX-P is still playable while a T80 is really inert.

If you love power top spins, this rubber (outside of boosted rubbers) is the most powerful you can get.

Absolutely suitable for forehand (FH) play, this rubber is perfect for any kind of serve.

It offers exceptional spin and speed, comparable to that of a powerful horse. However, like a spirited steed, it requires careful handling for precise shots due to its slightly lower control.

Despite being a veteran of the sport with over 18 years of experience, I do not currently have a club affiliation.

This Hi Tech rubber boasts a remarkable level of versatility, accommodating various playing styles, and showcases exceptional durability, ensuring its longevity.

Updated 1/13/15

Okay, just for kicks, I tried Evo EL-P, and it definitely didn’t work for me. The MX-P is much livelier and reacts much better to the ball. It has a higher throw than the EL-P with more spin and speed. Blocks return your opponent’s energy very well. In comparison with the EL-P version, I have to say the MX-P feels like a speed-glued version. The great thing is you don’t have to speed glue. If you like playing a fast topspin attack style, MX-P is golden.

This rubber is excellent for forehand play.

This rubber provides excellent speed on the forehand, making it a good choice for aggressive players. However, its durability is a major drawback, as it wears down relatively quickly.

This is a fantastic forehand (FH) rubber. I tried it on the Donic Appelgren Allplay and Xiom Acro blades. It has more spin and speed than Tenergy 80. The ball jumps off better than T80, making it easier to play. This rubber makes my FH shots look more powerful. I like it. However, I noticed that this rubber shrinks by about 2mm after regluing it several times on the blades. It’s a strange phenomenon.

Overall, I would recommend this rubber to those who want an offensive FH rubber.

Compared to T05, MXP offers slightly more speed. While spin is comparable on full strokes, it’s slightly lower on short strokes. MXP is less spin-sensitive, making it easier to block. It also has a bit lower throw. In general, MXP seems easier to control than T05.

Have been using this rubber for 3 weeks, 6 days per week, on my FH. It took a good week to fully adjust and get used to the play of this rubber.

It is very fast and fairly hard, with a very good amount of spin at full strokes. Short strokes produce a lot of speed and pretty good spin as well.

Looping is absolutely fantastic, though for opening loops other rubbers are probably a bit better for spin.

Cutting and blocking are both excellent as this rubber is not very sensitive to opponents spin. Flicking is also fantastic due to the speed of the rubber with very little effort.

The overall control of this rubber is pretty good (I gave 9.1), but I have not used a rubber with better control considering the speed and spin of this rubber.

Overall I think this is a great rubber, one which I will be keeping, and is perfect for mid/at the table distance all round attackers.

This rubber is both fast and spinny. I previously used Donic Baracuda. It took me a practice session to adjust to the Evolution MX-P. I noticed I had to be more accurate with it compared to the softer Baracuda. However, once I got used to it, my loops were stronger than usual. I also became more consistent without losing any power in my shots.

I appreciate how spinny serves and pushes are with this rubber. I also like how well it blocks. It has great touch at the table considering how fast it is.

Put Tibhar Evolution MX-P Max on both sides of my Donic Waldner World Champion 89 OFF SZLC INNER-FIBER blade, and the speed, power, and control are awesome. Ball placement comes easily. Blocking is effortless with this combination and deserves 5 stars and a 10 (my favorite combination as of now). This fast and powerful rubber has its own personality and will undoubtedly improve your game with proper technique.

It’s an excellent rubber for OFF- and OFF blades and likely a monster if using OFF+ blades. I prefer OFF- to OFF type blades with an inner-fiber makeup.

Amazing FH rubber. A good alternative to Tenergy 05. Almost as fast with a bit less spin but with good control.

You have to break it in when new. I didn’t feel any difference when I boosted mine, thus I haven’t since.

I am on my third sheet since I started using iTibar MXP almost two years ago.

Just bought MXP rubber and had two sessions so far. Control is much easier than you would expect considering its speed. It’s great. Touch is good, not a heavy bounce - again a surprise. Power and comfortable shots; I love this mixture.

Best backhand rubber. The throw angle is perfect for topspins and the short game.

Very nice rubber. It is speedy, has good spin, and good feeling. When combined with a medium-speed blade, it also has good control. From my perspective, it is recommended.

Put Tibhar Evolution MX-P Max on both sides of my Donic Waldner World Champion 89 OFF SZLC inner-fiber blade, and the speed, power, and control are awesome. NOTE: This rubber plays better after two weeks of using it and breaking it in, AMAZING! Ball placement and blocking come easy. It deserves 5 stars and a huge 10 (my favorite combination AS OF NOW).

This FAST and POWERFUL rubber has its personality and will improve your game as long as proper technique is used. It is great rubber for OFF- and OFF blades and probably a monster if using OFF+ blades. I prefer OFF- to OFF type blades with an inner-fiber makeup.
