Tibhar Evolution MX-P 50 - The latest Evolution MX-P rubber from Tibhar!

Extreme, more extreme, Tibhar Evolution MX-P 50

To all offensive forces out there, attention! The time has come and we are very happy to announce to you that there is another version within the Evolution series, which is called Tibhar Evolution MX-P 50. After much research and developing, the German company Tibhar, based in 1979 in Saarbrücken (Saarland, Germany), was able to top its predecessor model, the regular MX-P.

This is especially true for the improved offensive dynamics of the new version. But prior to having a closer look at its properties, let us briefly tell you something about the Evolution (MX-P) rubbers in general.

Maybe you already know that the whole Evolution rubber series from Tibhar meets the highest requirements table tennis players have. The letter "P", as in MX-P rubbers, corresponds to maximum power and dynamics, but also to much spin. The MX rubbers are generally hard, fast, and spinny. The MX-P in particular is (now more precisely: was) the fastest rubber, with the most penetrating power. But, as already mentioned, the new 50-version tops all of this!

The Evolution MX-P 50 from Tibhar - Properties & Behavior

After this introduction we now want to provide detailed information regarding the new Evolution MX-P 50. The superficial surface (topsheet) is identical to its predecessor, the regular MX-P. Differences are, however, present in the sponge hardness which increased from 47.5° in the to 50° (therefore, the number 50 was used). Of course, the latter also contains the power sponge! Another difference is the structure of the pores within the sponge. Whilst the predecessor table tennis rubber is open-pored, the newerversion (also called MX-P 50 Hard or MX-P 50 Hard Version) has now fine pores.

Primarily due to both these differences (harder and finer sponge), this rubber exhibits a considerably changed behavior, as well as gaming properties (in a positive sense of course!). First, this model is very fast (speed: 130), very spinny (120), but still offers a relatively fair control (75, manufacturer specifications). The catapult effect may indeed be classified as extreme. The sponge thicknesses available are 2.1 and 2.2 mm. All these properties contribute to the increased forward motion tjsi rubber exhibits, combined with a clearly intensified directness.

It can be summarized that the MXP 50 is a table tennis rubber which unites extreme speed & spin, power, catapult, and directness. These properties makes this rubber only suitable for uncompromising attackers, who use every chance to dominate the game and score using extremely offensive strokes. Hence, TT-SHOP.COM recommends this model for advanced and/or professional players only (despite the relatively fair control). In order to successfully control this brutal weapon, you really need a high training workload, and an advanced playing level at least. Note that this rubber does (only to a small extent) forgive errors. The only appropriate gaming style suitable for this rubber is, hence, "offensive plus" (OFF+). To all of you who think this suits me well, we can only can say: Go ahead! The proof of the pudding is in the eating.

Tibhar Evolution MXP 50 - Rubber technologies

In terms of table tennis goods, Tibhar has a long lasting tradition and experience. This is reflected in the overall high quality of their products. Two technologies implemented in all of the Evolution table tennis rubbers considerably contribute to this.

One technology is called Red Power Sponge (RPS). This technology is the basis for the high performance level Tibhar Evolution rubbers exhibit. Due to the Red Power Sponge technology, the sponges increase the ball-contact-time (e.g. when doing aggressive topspin openers), the sensation & precision, the power, and the catapult effect whilst attacking.

The second technology also contributing to the high performance of all Tibhar Evolution TT rubbers is called Pro Tension Technology. Similarly, this technology improves sensation and precision, increases the ball contact time, and provides much power as well as a large catapult effect when doing attacks.
