Tibhar Hybrid K3

Did anyone try K3 on ZLC blades, IF ZLC for example? Is it a good match?

maybe sieger pk 50?

So many years have gone by, but I have still not found anything close to a well boosted H3N.

Ok I see hype about K3, why no one cares about Tibhar Quantum X Pro and X Pro soft? I find one of their (Tibhar) top model with blue and pink color, I asked because I have EJ problem with short pips on backhand (a lot of Black and less red short pips but I still want use red and black on different days and I know about rules different color of topsheet=red) but in amateur league they didnt care so I want try blue/pink rubber on forehand and change pips, not to confuse my opponent but still gluing different color pips without problems on even training. I don't want to change every day my forehand rubber

we have made a video review of the K3! I Hope you like it!

I looks like it has a good sponge for that, impossible to know until you try but a friend of mine has had a lot of fun boosting Rakza Z (with falco).  Can't see why it wouldn't work with K3. tom wrote: Andy, Is the top end spin or if you want power, significantly different between the THK3 and R-Z? I think it's noticeable yes.  K3 plays faster, more direct, with similar spin levels so the end result is a better combination of speed and spin.  Counterlooping is very impressive.  I feel safer playing with R-Z though. Yes I think will be nice boosting, especially as it will die faster than my Tenergy on backhand. Also I found K3 to have similar tack (maybe slightly lower) than Rakza Z, but it's significantly faster which is great

But man, it's a top rubber.  Bit harder to use than R-Z, arc stays a little low, but wow you can generate serious power with good contact on the ball. I would expect it to respond well to booster - if it starts to fade away.

I don't mind D05 it's a really great rubber but the price is becoming an issue after wrecking a brand new sheet on a crazy opening backhand opener.... after about 40 mins of play ... Just pain in one word...ok 5...

I mean no, T64 is way faster

After ~ 6 weeks I guess I'll change my mind and join those who say that it looses its qualities quite fast.

It's definitely very positive on loop drives and nice grip on the spin ups from slower balls.  Durable so far with very if any signs of wear.  Hopefully the feeling lasts... Fingers crossed!
