I have both.

Omega V euro is a hard and slow rubber with very high throw (think of a slower M1). 

It plays similar to a chinese rubber, because it is less reactive (i.e. has less catapult) than a usual european rubber (say M1 or m2), and is very very grippy.

El-s is a rubber of medium hardness, slow, with medium (or even medium-low) throw.

So, I don't know which one is slower, but they differ a lot in throw and hardness.

El-s is harder and spinnier than the omega V euro, though the OV is definitely easier to use and feels better on the bh. Also, I guess the OV has a higher throw (not sure though).

Let me clarify - none of the Evolution rubbers correlate 1:1 with Tenergy rubbers. What I wanted to suggest is that T05 and T05fx users could relatively easily switch to EL-S and FX-S, respectively. MX-P (and MX-S in particular) are quite different from T05 (lower throw) - I seem to remember T64 as a lower throwing rubber relative to T05, hence the MX-P ~ T64 suggestion.

I am not sure that Mxp is closer to t05 than Elp. Mxp is considerably harder than T05, and this means that the ball goes more "up" when brushing, more "down" on direct impact (loop drive). OTOH, Elp has about the same hardness as t05, and the only difference with t05 is that the latter has much more catapult. 

as for mxs and els, they have lower throw, so I don't see a similarity at all with t05.

@Patrick, as usual a very nice & in depth review. How ever I'm perplexed by by the "approximation chart", specifically for MX-P...

"Accordingly, there should be something for every taste, including current Butterfly Tenergy users. I think the following approximation chart is reasonable: MX-S = particularly hard-sponged variants of T05/T64; MX-P = T64; EL-S = T05, and FX-S = T05fx....."

Most of our respected forum members feel the MX-P plays closer to a T05 (maybe Baal would like to chime in, as he uses MX-P on both wings)...

I would say that FX-S has a little more catapult yet is slower if that makes sense.

Well, that convinced me to buy an EL-S these next few days. 

@Patrick - Would you say EL-S or FX-S has more catapult?

I'll let you know my impressions when I got mine next week. FXS looks promising to me but I was expecting to be faster than 05FX which I didn't like it at all with PB either.

Very interesting comments on this blog. I just completed my tests of the entire Evo range. I deliberately did not read the comments here before writing up my review, and I am astounded how similar our observations are...

IT's more linear than 05, which is good for people who need the control, but bad for me because I need the speed from the rubber on my blocks as I use slow blades.  I also struggle to loop from distance with it it.  But the spin is nice. I never complained about that, even on serves.

No, you are not. I could very easily use it. The question is what it solves for me vs 05.


IMO it's close enough to T05 , for me it's in between 05 and 05FX. I'm missing a bit of spin on the serves but not something that cannot be overcome

EL-S is fantastic on fast composite blades like the MJ-SZLC or the Ovtcharov True Carbon on which, for some, other rubbers like the EL-P would be too bouncy. To me, it is a excellent BH rubber.

They are quite different to me. It is very easy to generate spin with short BH strokes with EL-S (not so with the JP-02). To me, the JP02 topsheet needs a bigger swing to get spin from and it is better in blocking than EL-S.

I see why they made MXS and ELS. ELS wouldn't replace my MXP but if you boost ELS and prefer a softer rubber to MXP with harder top sheet it can be very good.

After trying ELS Im kind of interested in MXS. Personally I like overall hardness of MXP but in theory a boosted MXS would play very similar to a boosted H3/H2 with similar arc but non tacky of course.

Everyone just expected a bit too much from it and were lot down, of course it's decent rubber in its own right, just not as good as mx-p, t05 etc

As i said before i´m not that happy with ELS on my BH. Would you rather go for FX-S or maybe EL-P/FX-P? I´m begging to think  it´s the "S" topsheets that are  hard & dead as MXS or ELS but not springy enough

I glued the els on the opposite side of elp, on my clipper cr. Tested it on forehand.

els is much slower, and much lower throw. Even less catapult than elp. 

exactly the same relation of mxs to mxp.

notably, when I increase the power of my shot, the els seems to decrease instead of increasing, so that the ball barely reaches the net. (probably it is just my impression, due to the fact els increases only linearly, whereas elp has catapult). However, the same stroke with elp produces a regular loop. 

at this point I have trouble understanding the purpose of the rubber.

True, I haven't yet boosted the els, but my elp I used for the comparison was boosted but very old. and yet it's a much better rubber.

I might speed glue it directly... I have little hope booster will do something.

it's true the els topsheet is harder than elp, and possibly also the sponge, but this has no consequence. the throw of els as I said is lower, and the catapult even less.

Update: With 1 layer of haifu whale speed glue, els has become playable. It is now as fast as elp (which does not have speed glue). The throw is still lower than elp, and requires a change of stroke. 

Basically, after boosting, els becomes exactly like bluefire jp02, two years later.

Far from the table I agree with you, at the table and at 2-3 meters from the table I couldn't find many differences. But I could find them when comparing t05 and MX-P, close to the table.
I didn't try the EL-S with booster but t05 is great with booster

Looking with EL-S from mid distance is more work - it doesn't have the same sponge kick that 05 works.  This is what I mean.

MXP is indeed clearly faster than 05 and spin is quite similar new brand new, maybe 5% or 10% less. But once you wear off MXP and the tunning effect fades off, then it´s as fast as 05 but less spinnier.
