Table Tennis Reviews

This time, I am providing a test report of the Tibhar Hybrid MK and the Tibhar Hybrid MK Pro rubbers. These rubbers, which have been tailored to the Japanese top player Kenda Matsudaira, are described as an evolution from the Hybrid K3 rubber. Tibhar has a track record of producing excellent rubbers such as the Hybrid K3 and the Evolution series, and I am excited to share my findings with you.

In this review, I am comparing the recently released Xiom Vega Pro H rubber and the Xiom Omega VII Guang China rubber, which I reviewed back in the fall of 2021.

Review and Comparison of the Curl ''P'' Series of Rubbers

    This time around, I was given the opportunity to try out two special edition blades from Nittaku, i.e., the Nittaku Goriki Super Drive and the Nittaku Goriki Danshi.

   This time around, Patrick evaluates two Nittaku blades, i.e., the Tornado King (TK) and Septear Feel Inner (SFI).

According to Tibhar, the JC confers enormous power and penetrating force to topspin strokes. However, since the Dyneema carbon fibers surround the core, rather than being directly below the top veneer, the blade promises to offer good touch. 

For a long time, I have been curious to try Donic’s Dotec blades and at long last, an opportunity to test them has presented itself, as I here review the 5+2 ply Donic Waldner Dotec AR (WD) and Donic Persson Dotec OFF (PD) blades.

I have been impressed by Donic’s BlueGrip and Tibhar’s Evolution series (and used the MX-P as my FH rubber for several years) and was therefore pleased to evaluate the Donic Bluestorm Pro (BP) and Tibhar Evolution MX-D rubbers, this time around. 

Here, Patrick reviews five different oil-based boosters.

    If you are a regular reader of this blog, you know that I am a fan of 7-ply all-wood blades. The Tibhar Samsonov Force Pro Black Edition (SFPBE) has been my main competition blade for several years, and recently I took a liking to the Tibhar Bernadette Szocs Signature 1 (BSS1). I was, therefore, excited to note the release of yet another 7-ply all-wood Tibhar blade, i.e., the Tibhar Dynamic J7 Darko Jorgić. The blade is named after Darko Jorgić, the top Slovenian table tennis player who has an incredible, Kreanga-like, backhand.
