11/01/2024 Good replacement for *NICHE* Rubbers Review by icontek

Quality

If you are like me, and enjoyed made in China, Hybrids during the celluloid ball (Like DHS Tinarc 1, which was a copy of a german sponge attached to semi tacky topsheet, or Stiga Genesis which was similar) you might like this. Softish feel, very spinning, good control. Works on everything from a 5 ply wood (slow) to carbons (perfect) and 7 ply (decent). One caveat, unlike the original DHS manufactured hybrids, I cannot use K1 on both sides. It is simply too slow for my backhand. Intermediate level play.

Quality

Great product as advertised. Use for BH block & counter and works really well.

31/07/2023 Solid rubber Review by MATTHEW WILLIAMS

Quality

Used this as a forehand rubber for a couple years. On everything from a five ply all round wood to a 7 ply offensive and an OFF- carbon blade. Decent control, good short game and service quality. Softer sponge does not hit or loop fast though and short blocks are easier than blocking deep. Easier to use than a soft sponged H3 but nowhere near the power. Needs to be reboosted if using for longer than a year.

Quality

Море вращения, хороший контроль на столе, если приложиться то очень сильно летит. Тяжеловата. Взял на пробу и решил оставить, понравилась, сразу добавил в подачах, лёгкий первый ход.

01/12/2022 Decent rubber Review by Jesse

Quality

Stable rubber but lacks power. At a similar price, all sticky surfaces, K1plus, and Xiom Vega are better.

Quality

Very fast and skinny but good control, not tacky, the top sheet is not breaking. Recommend for everyone who likes to have a Chinese alternative rubber.

10/02/2020 Excellent hybrid rubber Review by ZZ

Quality

I bought a Hybrid K1 Euro Version, black, max. The top sheet feels tacky, but not as sticky as Chinese rubbers such as Hurricane 3. The sponge is like a European sponge, soft in touch, but with less catapult effect. I tested the rubber on both forehand and backhand. I play close to the table. The rubber generates a lot of spin for topspin, push and service. The throw angle is medium. The rubber is not very fast, clearly slower than rubbers such as MX-P, Rasanter R47 or Tenergy 05. But it is faster than Hurricane 3. It is very good for a controlled spin game, good for initiating topspin attack, various services, short game close to the net, such as long and short push and flip. It is quite good for controlled blocking. The rubber is easy to collect dust. I just clean and cover it after each play. Overall, K1 Euro is a good combination of Chinese top sheet and European sponge. An excellent rubber for close to the table playing style.

24/11/2019 European ease of use, Chinese short game Review by MATTHEW WILLIAMS

Quality

It can be used for someways service, 3rd ball attacking and 5th ball over the table attacking and touch play that Chinese tacky rubber is famous for. Faster and more forgiving, like the Made in Germany product that it is.

19/11/2019 Long lasting grippy rubber Review by Anonymous15

Quality

This rubber grips better than any other rubbers I used before including Bty T05 so it generates a lot of spins. Blocking is excellent. It is very durable too. Recommended for BH.

12/08/2019 Premium speed, good speed Review by Augusto Mori

Quality

I'm using this rubber on the back of my penhold carbon blade. It generates a very strong spin on the ball and is quite slower than my Rasanter R47. Perfect for my reverse backhand drives.
Remember to clean and store it with a protective film because it is really sticky and will attract dust like a magnet. It comes with a non-stick plastic film, but the rubber is so tacky it will adhere to the rubber every single time, as long as it's free of dust and debris.

27/05/2019 Found a Keeper Review by Gary Whiddon

Quality

When I returned to table tennis in 2016 I used Tenergy, then switched tothe Tibhar MX-P. Then I went to the MX-S, and finally to the Tibhar Hybrid K1. I like hard sponges because I can flat hit with control. I switched to the Tibhar Hybrid K1 to get a tacky topsheet for serves. The topsheet stays tacky and I have played four times a week for many months! Using a Tibhar VS Unlimited blade, I use the Tibhar Speedy Soft short pips on my backhand for flat hits. Great combination, so I am keeping this setup. I am 67 years old and rated 1763 currently.

16/04/2019 middle hard to hard. Linear. Review by Laurent Jalabert

Quality

Tried it on the Cornilleau Hinotec OFF+ Carbon - BankHand (BH). 2.0mm. red.
Not very fast, very tacky, low dwell time, low throw angle. Very direct. Maybe better on a soft blade.
Mid distance (BH) : very low throw angle, the ball is going strait close to the net. It is very fast when putting a lot of power in the ball. But very slow if not. So if you engage strongly, then you get high speed. If not, then good control. Then I think this rubber reminds me the linear behavior of DHS H3 Neo, with less speed.
Chikita a little bit difficult on this blade, but doable. Blocks are OK. I did not feel high throw angle as reported elsewhere.

26/03/2019 Good hybrid Review by AZV

Quality

Good rubber, spinny, good short game and excellent at looping. Decent alternative to a boosted hurricane. Bad thing to me: it’s a heavy rubber and a tad less spin/topspeed compared to H3.
