I did back in April. Joined Samsonov's and 42andbackpains's company, and switched from H3 Neo to Tibhar Hybrid K1 PRO in max thickness. I've been playing with it since April, roughly twice a week on average, including 6 tournaments played over the summer. Haven't boosted the rubber.

This is what is looks now:


TLDR: Basically, this is very similar to Big Dipper only the sponge is purple. 


HK1P has a tacky topsheet. The level of tackiness is quite a bit lower than with H3 Neo or Sanwei Target National. It is still tacky after 4.5 months of usage and covering it with a sticky protective sheet whenever the bat is not in use. This is much better than, for example, Soulspin's Project 16 ST which lost its tack very quickly.

The sponge feels harder than H3N or STN but not hugely.

Lower tackiness and a harder sponge results in a rubber that is noticeably faster than H3 Neo or STN but at the cost of reduced dwell time and lower throw.

So

* Short game/serves with HK1P is almost the same as with H3N or STN except that it is a bit easier to produce a long fast serve.
* Topspin drives against weak balls are better with HK1P.
* Blocking better with HK1P (but who uses a tacky rubber on FH for its blocking abilities :-)).
* Reduced dwell translates into lower arcs when looping.
* Looping low heavy underspin balls is easier with H3N or STN.

I've decided to stick with it till the New Year.
