Hi, I need a new FH rubber to replace my Andro Rasant Grip on my Made in Japan Korbel blade as it has been discontinued and I can't get any more. I was thinking about MXP as I would like a faster rubber than my current Rasant Grip. Has anyone tried MXP on a Korbel, preferably the made in Japan version, how did it play?

You could always try Hexer Power Grip. MX-P is faster and has ok spin. I'm just not a fan.I play T05 on both sides of my Korbel ------------- OSP Expert II w DNA Dragon Grip |

I had considered the new Hexers which would be better GRip or Powergrip, would you be able to compare to Rasant Grip? I tried MXP a couple of times but only for literally 5 mins if that trying out a mates bat and it felt quite nice but that was a while ago. I tried tenergy on a violin but didn't like it, could have been the blade but couldn't be bothered trying it on another blade to find out. I didn't mind the 64 but wasn't my favourite and wasn't keen on 05, or it might have been a bad glue job as it was my first ever attempt gluing. But from memory I just liked the feeling of MXP how fast and hard it was.

Hexer Powergrip is the one you would want to try it has the harder sponge . If you liked MX-P get it. It has good reviews and is harder and faster than what you normally use. I have tried it a few times but just didn't like it . It always felt faster than t05 but with less spin. I prefer more spin. It also depends on your stroke . ------------- OSP Expert II w DNA Dragon Grip |

Ok, thank you. I only had a very brief hit with MXP and from memory I did like it but I don't remember the blade I tried it on as I think the player had grip tape on his handle. How much faster would medium thickness MXP be compared to Max thickness Rasant Grip that I currently use? Also how fast would MXP be on a korbel? |

| SmackDAT Are you saying that a Korbel with MXP on FH will be heavy or are you saying the difference between Hexer powergrip and rasanter is the weight |

Depends on what suits you better. Both MXP and ELS are great rubbers. I find MXP just a little too fast and the ball keeps flying off the table where the ELS has a tighter arc and lands with greater consistency. But like I said, depending on playing style I can see how both would work on a Korbel. Good luck on finding a replacement! |

I was in the same situation. Tried mxp and liked it, haven't looked back. Got 4 odd mxps at home now. |

I would not use ELS when Fastarc G1 exists. But that is just me. ------------- https://youtu.be/jhO4K_yFhh8?t=115" rel="nofollow - I like putting heavy topspin on the ball... Cybershape Carbon FH/BH: H3P 41D. Lumberjack TT, not for lovers of beautiful strokes. No time to train... |

Hi, from my experience mxp was one of the most disappointing rubbers ever. Why - way too fast, rather uncontrollable and often with erratic behavior. Even the glue job came 3 times uneven, did it on 2 different blades, all of above said was all the same?!! Another one same "praised" ( on this forum ) rubber would be Friendship Battle II. Never again. Played with Rakza 7/7 soft, Rasant, Stiga tour s/m/h, airoc m/s, tenergy 05, H3 neo, Skyline 3 neo, Vega pro. Those were all fine. Cheers, Stan |

Yesterday I played with korbel (eu version) and mx-p both side. It played very well. Good high throw, soft feeling with lot of control. Enough speed. I recommend it. |

Why would you use G1 instead? Can you compare G1 to both ELS and MXP?
