Hybrid K1, as its name implies, is a hybrid rubber that combines a more tacky, Chinese style topsheet with a powerful European, tensioned sponge. This rubber requires its wielder to be skilled as it has been designed for advance level players and up. The somewhat tacky topsheet is still very elastic, much more so than most Chinese topsheets. This allows for an increase in power on properly executed strokes. The 50° hard sponge provides a synergistic effect to increase power even more. Hybrid K1 features very high levels of friction granting extreme spin in all situations. Its combination of catapult and high spin helps alleviate the counterlooping difficulties often encountered when using traditional Chinese rubbers.

As usual, Tibhar, best quality. Together with Andro and Nittaku.

on Hinotec OFF+ carbon ; backhand; 2.0mm red. Very very fast. Active bloc very good. Chikita OK. A lot of spin in opening loop. Feeling : hard on hinotec. But hardness cannot not be ranked 10. It is closed to T05Hard (or a bit less), or closed to D05. Low throw angle at mid distance, trajectory is strait. I am surprised by this rubber, quite cheap, but very good quality, tacky. It works well on Hinotec blade, but not so well on Amultart.

Just tried this on my friends carbon blade. It is 1.5 years old rubber. He could still lift the ball of table for a second or more. its STILL tacky. VERY spinny. I cant say anything about the sponge if its like new but I would assume so. Its not too soft. Not too hard. feels in between. Its like a DHS H3 Neo only faster. and without booster. loops and topspins are insane. When in good hands this rubber is hard to play against. The serves are crisp spinny and super controlled. I use K3 on viscaria myself and its faster. same spin. much higher throw angle. K1 will last a long long time.

Liked this rubber on my BH. On FH I use Blugrip C2, which is perfect. But for BH it was alittle too hard. And Tibhar K1 with it's 50 degrees fits me perfectly.

Good forehand rubber for Close to table. Speed can be fast if you hit fast and slow if you play slow. Catapult is less but more than H3. You have to play active with this rubber. Passiv block is also ok but not great. What this rubber really shines is topspin and topspin to backspin. But you have to swing big and move fast and stay low. Because the throw angel is not high.
