I've been playing with the 2.0 on FH and BH with the Joola Freeze bat, exellent control. Can place the ball wherever I want when looping plus flat hits are perfect. Like mentioned in the video, counterlooping is so easy since the rubber grips the ball effortlessly. I enjoy this rubber, coming from Tenergy 05 FH and Tenergy 64 on BH.

great analysis! thanks! i just started playing w/ K3 on FH and Rakza7 on BH and love this combo. i'm a low intermediate player, working hard on getting my looping better. +1 on what Seth says about K3's ability to grab low balls to lift, which i like a lot. now i just need to improve my technique around these rubbers.

Great review! Could we see a Tibhar K1 review?

[mihaic]

Thanks for the great review Seth. Have you tried k3 on backhand? Or what do you prefer on bh?

What are the differences between this and Rakza Z? I wonder about the arc, bounce, incoming spin, chopping. Would you have enough bounce to bump up a ball from a defender on the table(reverse the backspin into a topspin)? With rakza I really liked the chopping and feel of the ball, but it was terrible for dealing with defender. Also the arc was lower with a dip at the very end.
I want a rubber with a little bit of bounce (more than rakza z), with a short high arc, and good chopping feel. Do you like k3 in max or 2.0?

Hi, thanks for sharing your thoughts. It would be very useful to report later, if you experience edges rising with this rubber topsheet. I have Tibhar MX-S and I was slightly disappointed with it, because two months after it was glued on my blade, the edge of the topsheet curled upwards a little bit, making the surface a bit concave, which reduced accuracy on thin loops. Also, I would also happily hear your thoughts on the upcoming Victas V>20 rubber, once it will be released worldwide.

Hello. May I know what the ideal degree for a backhand rubber?

Bcs all my life, I only used rubber with 40 degree and below for backhand

Is there any chance the reason why new rubber hardness has increase because the usage of new ball?

Hi,
How to clean this rubber not to lose its stickiness

[pnachtwey]

So the top sheet is gummy as opposed to sticky? Stricky rubbers collect dust and lose grip during play. Sticky rubbers lose their stickiness over time.

I understood what you said I after playing with the same equipment myself.
Nice combination!

[zhuangcorp]

Can you explain what you like this so much more than Dragon Grip or Bluegrip or Omega China?

[lilipop]

what is the lifespan of this rubber ? and how often do you change it ?

[IcoachTT]

Thank you for your well explained review.

I tested this rubber when it came out but didn't have too much success with it. I think it might be because of my stroke, which is very closed, as I'm used to very grippy, high throw rubbers. I get inconsistent results with this. Sometimes, the rubber slips and doesn't grab the ball so it throws the ball to the net. I can even hear it slip, so I know it slips. Sometimes it grabs the ball and throws it correctly with a lot of spin. This is the only hybrid rubber I tried, so not sure about other hybrid rubbers if I get the same result. I just stick with grippy rubbers like Tenergy 05 and Baracuda, which have both been very consistent for me.

I ordered it for my forehand last night 2.0 blk....also K1 1.8mm for my backhand...

[aldopalacios]

Serg i have a question. How can this rubber be as soft or softer than T05 or D09C if it's hardness is 53°?
Thanks

[kzawhtun]

On backhand, which thickness did you use 2.0 or max ?thanks a lot~

[nguyenanhquynh]

nice, how do you compare this to Rakza Z?

how heavy is this on Viscaria size?

[MUDTV]
