Evolution MX-P is the hard 'P' version in Tibhar's Evolution series and, according to Dandoy and Tabletennis11, the fastest and most popular rubber in that family. Tibhar aims it at topspin players at the table and from half distance.

What Tibhar says it does

Tibhar says the pimple geometry was tuned so the rubber puts more energy into attacking balls, and that the contact time is longer than you would expect from a hard-sponge rubber, which gives more feel. Dandoy's description adds that it makes no concession in speed or spin.

-P versus -S

Tabletennis11 explains that the -P line uses a harder rubber mixture and a more solid topsheet than the -S line, which gives more power potential on attacking strokes but rewards good technique and fast acceleration. If you want more grip and arc, the Evolution MX-S is the -S counterpart.

Choosing a thickness

2.1 mm gives the most speed and is the common forehand choice; 1.9 mm is a little lighter and more controllable, and 1.7 mm suits allrounders or a backhand on a fast blade.

Pairings

It is a natural match for all-wood OFF blades such as the Stiga Clipper and for controlled carbon like the Donic Waldner Senso Carbon.

Who it suits

Intermediate and advanced attackers with a full swing who want speed, a medium-high arc and a hard but not harsh feel.
