We tested the Tibhar Evolution MX-D. Here are our thoughts. www.tabletennis11.com/other_e... www.tabletennis11.com/other_e... www.tabletennis11.com/other_e...
This is the best review I've ever seen. 1) It is filmed and produced really well 2) You guys were completely honest (versus something like TTDaily where everything said is good). TT11 is the best!
I like that you guys have 4 different people/ages/playstyle/skill this really helps test to rubber really well and is truly unbias. I love the blind test too and I think these blind test should be more conducted. I just wish in future videos you guys define which is mx-p and mx-d rubber for blind test.

That was a very clear and honest review. Thank you very much.
Honest. Top. I like that you are not shy to say "i cant feel a difference"... this might be true for the far majority of players who are not Boll and Gauzy etc - but who will be the ones to buy the stuff.
It is the first impression by them. The rubbers are different...I have tried them in different blades...in fact mx-d is one of the best rubbers I've tried. (The one that is very similar to mx-d is Gewo super select) I have super select 50 in a primorac (with Tenergy 0.5 on backhand) and a mx-d on another primorac carbon (vega X on backhand) and mx-d and super select are very, very similar. The main difference with mx-p are the gears I think. You should try mx-d... very good rubber...and not expensive. But it is a little heavier than mx-p.
It's not often you see a review with different players and play styles with their own commentary, as well as featuring similar rubbers to see how they compare. When looking for a new rubber I often find myself choosing between 2 or 3 rubbers so these reviews really do help. The only thing i would suggest is for each person in the video to mention which blade they are using as the characteristics for each rubber vary depending on the blade they are paired with
Excellent video, Sergei. Thank you very much. If you had included the weights of the rubbers, that would have been great. I got a Xiom Ice Cream AZXi blade. My current rubber on forehand is an Andro Rasanter R47. Maybe I should try a harder rubber like MX-D. What do you think about it. Thanks a lot. You guys are very good.
I think that this transition will be easier than going for MX-P. In my opinion MX-D plays better on carbon blades than MX-P couse it gives you more dwell time even though it's harder than MX-P and MX-P 50. MX-P are much springier and require less effort but on the other hand they have lower limits. It's exactly same thing as Tenergy series and Dignics series. I hope it will help you :)
thanks for the vid. Do you guys think the review might differ if you use the rubber for twi sessions first ? This is the case for me as I play DHS Neo rubbers as they need two sessions at least to be really functional
Hello! Thank you for the question! You are right, Chinese rubbers indeed demand quite some time to start showing their best performance. As for the German and Japanese rubbers, that time is shorter ( one-two training sessions in my opinion ). We always play a bit with the rubbers before the testing, so the rubbers characteristic should be close to maximum.
Hello! Thank you for the comment and the question! You can compare the MX-D rubber to the Dignics 05: that is the closest rubbers by its properties out of Dignicses. And MX-D rubber is significantly faster in my opinion
Thanks for the review. What does D stand for? Apart from the sponge hardness what is the difference? I was looking at EL-S and FX-D similar sponge hardness and spin ratings... I am guessing it's the size of the holes in the sponge?
D means Dynamic... I have both rubbers ...I have used them in different blades too. Mx-d is a little faster. In terms of spin... very similar. I prefer mx-d because I feel it has more gears. Last weekend I paired mx-d and vega X with primorac carbon... mx-d was born to Primorac Carbon 😂😂. Mx-p is crazy with primorac anyway. PD: mx-d is a little heavier...so if you want to have it on both sides...mmm it is an aspect to consider.
Спасибо за видео. С подрезкой пробовал MX-P 1,8 мм, пропилить сложно, мяч долго держится, потом выплёвывется с большим разбросом по высоте. То есть по идее MX-D должен быть чуть лучше, но на видео все ровно наоборот :) P.S. Попробовал MX-D, подрезка и кач намного лучше, чем MX-P. Может вы сравнивали с MX-P 50, у которого губка практически такая же твердая?
May I ask you about those rubbers: Mx-P and Mx-D both in which thickness for the setup for playing Forehand Chops? Is choosing thicker sponge could be more benefit for more speed in attack while still have good control for Chopping or using thinner sponge like 2.0 might be better? thanks for support
I was gonna say the same thing . The direct comparison would be mxp 50 and mxd . But if the margin is that small whats the point of having 3 very vary similar rubbers
MX-D has a new Red Power Sponge, which gives the shots a higher throwing angle and in general makes a rubber faster. But the difference is probably not too big.
Why would someone switch to MXD if there is very minute difference ? Tibhar should give more information about the Red Power Sponge, so people can understand the difference. Also, would this sponge shrink while regluing? Because MXP shrinks after regluing a few times.
It depends on how their new sponge will change after 2-3 month. If it keeps its properties longer than mx-p (the most frustrating thing in mx-p for me), then I'll definitely switch. By the way, I really tried very hard not to stretch my mx-p when gluing, and after playing with it for 2 month and regluing it twice, it didn't shrink, or that shrink is around 1mm, so I don't see this problem anymore.
Excelent! so, no increased dwell time? My problem with euro rubbers is when touching the ball softly on the table, sliding, etc.; would it be mx-d better than mx-p in that matter? I need a rubber in the BH that is precise and that does not bounce so much if I am going to play soft to leave the ball short in the opponent's court.
Hello! Yes, the dwell time of that rubber is even shorter. Those rubbers are definitely not good for the described task. You can probably try Nittaku Faster C-1 if you want a European rubber. And another option can be Hurricane 8 rubber. It give a lot of spin to the ball. Very easy to play short.
This vid had good sound; the problem for me with no sound in other videos is that I use an Amp, and having it set to 7.1 some vids will not give sound because 2 channel stereo (or mono) only; so I have to change windows sound setting each time.
