OOAK Table Tennis Forum

A (potential) new rubber from Tibhar has been tested during the Olympics : the Evolution FX-P.

Here's a picture of the rubber : http://www.flickr.com/photos/ittfworld/7674360266/sizes/o/in/photostream/

The rubber seems to be made in Japan (japanese writting on the rubber's mold).

So far there's no release date from Tibhar as the tests are still going on.

Cheers,
Ma'man

Good to see it's on the ITTF list.

If someone used it in the Olympics, they must have been training with it for a while.

I got my pawz on a free sheet of the very hard-sponged Tibhar Evolution MP-X a week or two back. Forutunately for me, I have been playing with the Uber-hard sponged Tibhar Aurus on FH for a year, so this hard sponged rubber is not much a change to operate for me. I slapped it on my TBS when I immediately went to Bucheon Ace TTC right after my Nexy HQ visit to give it a test. I played some matches with the club locals and a short summary would be that Evolution MP-X plays like a tenergized version of Aurus. There is a bit more pace, a bit more spin, and a little more feel. It plays a bit softer than Aurus, but i doubt the sponge is any softer. The rubber did everything Aurus does with more feel and speed/spin. Played pretty close to T64, even the sponge looked a lot like T64 sponge. my sheet was Red max sponge MP-X cut and water-glued to a different taller Nexy balde tested previously by nexy prez Moon for a session. I water-glued to the TBS and cut off the excess at the top. Noce looking rubber and HARD sponge, which I really like on FH wing.

What is differnt on this rubber is the pimple geometry. if you look at it, the nipples are thinner and wider spaced in a different pattern as well. The result is more dwell and feel, plus that awesome sponge transmits the power and spin.

I made a vid goofing of in a casual doubles match over there at Ace club in Bucheon. Suprisingly, when I google Tibhar Evolution Rubber, I get my thread I made about it at MyTT as the first hit! I have never had anything I did make top hit for a google search, prolly never happen again.

Here is the doubles vid goofing off, which we lost at deuce. I originally made this for a German Pimple TT Forum (Pimp My Blade) so don't be turned off by the German title. This vid is remarkable as my partner and BOTH opponents were using Long Pimples on BH. When is it you walk off the street into a TT club right into a pickup doubles match and everyone but yourself is using darksider equipment. Hehe. this vid doesn't show my FH with Evolution a lot as a lot of my attacking chances came to me on the BH wing, which I did OK to finish using $7 XP 2008 Super Power. Don't tell the Koreans I like to use non-Nexy provided stuff on BH wing, it will blow my cover.
