Yes, I've played with them extensively for the past 6 months. I prefer DG slightly. It's has slightly more grip and power. It feels slightly softer to me. The only reason I settled for K3 as the next best thing is because DG supply has been sporatic with various retailers. Also DG doesn't last as long. Once the tackiness wears off it's pretty much done. K3 lasts much longer.

What's special about these two rubbers? How are they similar?

I have not used Tibhar K3, but I know that both rubbers are very tacky and have a hard sponge.

I tried a different hybrid rubber, Donic BlueGrip S2. It has a softer sponge and it's just slightly tacky. It can pick up a ball for maybe 1/4 second. Not that tacky. Hitting with it for an hour and found that it wasn't that fast.

Blade: Tsp Black Balsa 3.0
FH: t05 1.9 boosted
BH: 388d ox black
How does the sponge hardness of the bluegrip compare to t05?
Have been thinking of trying this in search of a better short game,sounds like it may need booster or a faster blade.

I have only used Tenergy 05 for 2 minutes at the club, but I would say BlueGrip S2 is softer.
My guess is that manufacturers prefer the harder sponge in order to generate more speed on the tacky rubbers.

Maybe Bluegrip s1 will work better on def blades
