Basically, the Tibhar Evolution MX-D represents what I’ve been wanting since speed-gluing ended. A rubber that has immense dynamics & power and combines that with a certain ease in playing. With the very low-catapult rubbers, on the one hand, this is somehow missing. Other tensors, on the other hand, unleash their power uncontrollably and simply too explosively.
Compared to the other Evolution rubbers, there is a lot to be said. Each rubber from this series, apart from the MX-P50, has its great strengths. The MX-P has that inimitable, exploding power. The MX-S has an extremely high spin potential. The EL-S offers variable to maximum spin variations. The EL-P has a toxic ball flight curve that is difficult to judge. The FX-S guarantees spin and control. The FX-P is powerful despite its soft sponge.
The strength of the MX-D, its constant but strong acceleration & dynamics, helps with all attacking strokes. This makes the rubber the best as a total package, although there are advantages for other rubbers in their respective areas.
Unlike a Dignics 05, the Evolution MX-D has more control and stronger dynamics. In addition, the Butterfly rubber is more spin-sensitive and less forgiving. The MX-P50 should actually compete with the MX-D. However, sponge and topsheet do not harmonize nearly as well. Basically, the 50° sponge replaces the great explosive power and relies on the power of a harder sponge, but this basically robbs its strength with another obstacle.
A more far-fetched alternative to the Evolution MX-D is the andro Rasanter R48. This one I find better than many other rubbers with thin topsheet. Compared to the MX-D, the R48 has clearly higher catapult effect and develops its dynamics earlier, as well as more inconsistently. The trajectory is somewhat flatter. A little less rotation is present. But for those who want a smoother, more catapult-like alternative, the R48 has something to offer.
Finally, I would like to mention the Tibhar Aurus Prime, which I also like very much as an overall rubber. iT also has a high dynamic due to the thicker sponge. The Prime is more trimmed to spin and goes more in the direction of spin dynamics. I also find the MX-D a bit more controlled, which is mainly due to the feel of the ball.
