Tibhar EVOLUTION FX-P is an ITTF-approved table tennis rubber, manufactured in Germany, designed for offensive (OFF) players seeking high spin, excellent control, and flexible gameplay dynamics. This rubber is the softest and most flexible in the EVOLUTION series, featuring a soft sponge (~39.1–41.1°) that provides exceptional feel and control in all playing situations. The EVOLUTION FX-P stands out with very high spin (~15.0/20), high speed (~14.4/20), and outstanding control (~9.0/20), making it ideal for players who like to attack close to the table and refuse to let any ball pass, even when playing aggressively. Its high-grip PRO topsheet and soft sponge with a strong catapult effect ensure sufficient power for versatile topspin play, producing a distinctive sound during topspin strokes. The rubber is available in red and black, complying with ITTF regulations, and comes in three sponge thicknesses (1.7–1.8 mm, 1.9–2.0 mm, 2.1–2.2 mm) to suit various offensive styles. Compared to the Tibhar EVOLUTION EL-P (~15.0/20 speed, ~8.5/20 control, ~15.0/20 spin), the FX-P offers slightly lower speed but higher control while maintaining similar spin. Player feedback highlights that the rubber "delivers excellent spin on topspin strokes," "is highly controllable," and "suits aggressive close-to-the-table play," making it suitable for advanced players seeking spin, control, and dynamic flexibility.

Unique Characteristics & Playing Performance:

The Tibhar EVOLUTION FX-P is an offensive rubber designed for players who prioritize high speed (~14.4/20), extremely high spin (~15.0/20), and exceptional control (~9.0/20). Its soft sponge (~39.1–41.1°) and high-grip PRO topsheet, supported by Pro Tension Technology and flexible pimple geometry, ensure great feel and precision for close-to-the-table attacks and aggressive play. The FX-P is the softest rubber in the EVOLUTION series, offering a balanced feel compared to harder variants like the MX-P, MX-S, EL-S, and medium-hard EL-P, making it ideal for players seeking dynamic flexibility. The Red Power Sponge enhances reactivity, providing a strong catapult effect that facilitates fast strokes while maintaining excellent ball contact. Its trajectory (8.1/10) is medium-high with slight curvature, ensuring stable ball flight—ideal for aggressive topspin loops, backspin play, and controlled counterattacks. Available in three sponge thicknesses: 1.7–1.8 mm for maximum control, 1.9–2.0 mm for balanced offense and control, and 2.1–2.2 mm for maximum speed and spin. Players note that the rubber "excels in spin generation on topspins," "offers superb control," and "is perfect for risky close-to-the-table play," catering to those who value spin, control, and adaptability.

Topsheet Composition:

The Tibhar EVOLUTION FX-P features a high-grip PRO topsheet, sticky and elastic, optimized for spin, control, and catapult effect using Pro Tension Technology and flexible pimple geometry. The inverted pimples ensure strong ball contact, enabling very high spin (~15.0/20), especially on topspin strokes, aggressive serves, and backspin shots. Compared to the Tibhar EVOLUTION EL-P (~15.0/20 spin, ~15.0/20 speed, ~8.5/20 control), the FX-P offers similar spin but lower speed and higher control. Against the Tibhar EVOLUTION MX-S (~15.0/20 spin, ~15.6/20 speed, ~8.0/20 control), the FX-P trades some speed for significantly better control. Pro Tension Technology increases tension for added reactivity, while the flexible pimple geometry extends ball contact for easier spin generation. Players praise the topsheet for being "highly effective in spin production," "stable against backspin," and "durable under intense play," making it suitable for spin-oriented attackers. The topsheet is less sensitive to opponent’s spin compared to harder rubbers like the Tibhar EVOLUTION MX-P (50°), simplifying receive and short-game play. Its durability is high, retaining grip even with heavy use if properly maintained.

Sponge:

The Tibhar EVOLUTION FX-P uses a soft sponge (~39.1–41.1°) that balances high speed (~14.4/20), extreme spin (~15.0/20), and elite control (~9.0/20), delivering a "flexible and controllable feel." The Red Power Sponge enhances energy return, ensuring a strong catapult effect for fast strokes while maintaining sensitive touch. Sponge thickness options cater to different offensive styles: 1.7–1.8 mm for maximum control, 1.9–2.0 mm for balanced offense, and 2.1–2.2 mm for maximum speed/spin. Compared to the Tibhar EVOLUTION EL-P (~42.4–44.4°, ~15.0/20 speed, ~8.5/20 control, ~15.0/20 spin), the FX-P has lower speed but higher control. Against the Butterfly Tenergy 05 (~14.5/20 speed, ~8.0/20 control, ~14.5/20 spin), the FX-P matches speed but offers more spin and control. Players highlight the sponge’s "dynamic flexibility" and "ability to generate heavy spin on topspins," especially in close-to-the-table attacks.

Spin & Trajectory:

The Tibhar EVOLUTION FX-P excels in spin potential (~15.0/20), particularly on topspin loops, aggressive serves, and backspin shots. The high-grip PRO topsheet and soft sponge prolong ball contact, enabling disruptive spin that challenges opponents. Its trajectory (8.1/10) is medium-high with slight arc, ensuring stability for aggressive topspins, backspin play, and controlled counters. Players report it "excels in spin-heavy topspins," "handles backspin consistently," and "maintains a controllable trajectory," suiting spin-focused attackers. Compared to the Donic Bluefire M1 (~14.0/20 spin), the FX-P generates more spin, appealing to players prioritizing spin and control.

Control:

The Tibhar EVOLUTION FX-P delivers elite control (~9.0/20), especially on topspins, serves, backspin shots, and blocks. The soft sponge provides sensitive feedback, making it forgiving compared to harder rubbers like the Tibhar EVOLUTION MX-P. Against the EL-P (~8.5/20 control), the FX-P offers better control, and versus the MX-S (~8.0/20 control), it is significantly more controllable. Compared to the Butterfly Tenergy 05 (~8.0/20 control), the FX-P provides superior control, ideal for players valuing spin and precision. Players note it is "highly manageable in topspin rallies" and "allows precise ball placement," particularly on backspin receives and short-game play.

Technical Ratings:

• Speed (115/100, ~14.4/20): High speed for powerful topspins, backspin shots, and controlled counters. Slightly slower than the EL-P (~15.0/20) but more controllable.

• Control (90/100, ~9.0/20): Elite control for topspins, serves, backspin play, and blocks. Far superior to the MX-S (~8.0/20).

• Spin (120/100, ~15.0/20): Extreme spin potential for topspins, aggressive serves, and backspin shots. Outperforms the Donic Bluefire M1 (~14.0/20).

Blade Compatibility:

The Tibhar EVOLUTION FX-P pairs well with offensive/all-round blades that complement its spin, control, and flexibility:

• Tibhar Samsonov Force Pro (~13.0/20 speed, OFF): Boosts speed for aggressive attacks.

• Butterfly Viscaria (~12.5/20 speed, OFF): Enhances spin and speed for topspin play.

• Donic Ovtcharov No.1 Senso (~12.0/20 speed, OFF): Maximizes speed/spin.

• Stiga Clipper CR (~11.5/20 speed, OFF-): Balances speed and control.

• Yasaka Ma Lin Carbon (~12.0/20 speed, OFF): Ideal for topspin-counterattack hybrids.

Recommended for offensive blades (e.g., Tibhar Samsonov Force Pro) for maximum speed/spin or slightly slower blades (e.g., Stiga Clipper CR) for speed-control balance.

Additional Information:

The Tibhar EVOLUTION FX-P combines high speed (~14.4/20), extreme spin (~15.0/20), and elite control (~9.0/20), making it ideal for players seeking dynamic flexibility. Compared to the EL-P, it trades slight speed for higher control. Against the MX-S, it sacrifices minimal speed for significantly better control. Versus the Butterfly Tenergy 05, it matches speed while offering more spin and control. Players praise its "spin-heavy topspins," "controllable aggression," and "suitability for risky close-to-table play," especially with 1.9–2.0 mm sponge. The 1.7–1.8 mm version suits control-focused players, while 2.1–2.2 mm caters to aggressive attackers. The Red Power Sponge and Pro Tension Technology enhance speed, spin, and durability. Notably, the FX-P is the lightest in the EVOLUTION series (e.g., ~44.0 g with 2.0 mm sponge), ideal for players preferring lighter setups. For maintenance, use a rubber cleaner (e.g., Tibhar Rubber Cleaner) and protective film to prevent damage. With its dynamic flexibility, spin potential, and price-performance ratio, the Tibhar EVOLUTION FX-P is a top choice for advanced players refining offensive techniques and maximizing spin/control.
