My short review of the TIBHAR MK Carbon - made in Japan

Previously, I used the JOOLA Energon Super PBO-c. But for some time now, I’ve been playing with the TIBHAR MK Carbon, which suits me even better and which I also find to be of higher quality.

Maybe you shouldn’t use rubbers that are too hard with too low of a ball trajectory on the MK Carbon. I personally wouldn’t trust myself to play 52.5° hardness with a flat throw on this blade. I think that 47.5° up to a maximum of 50.0° hardness should work well for most higher-level players, and you might want to make sure to choose rubbers with a more open-pored sponge that produce a higher arc, rather than rubbers that shoot the ball too flat off the hard blade.

In general, I think that many very hard, low-throw rubbers harmonize better with blades that use inner-fibre technology, but opinions will certainly differ here, as they do with almost everything related to table tennis equipment.

What I want to say is that the MK Carbon was worth the money spent, and I can recommend it to anyone who enjoys this type of blade that you know from the typical Butterfly professional ALC versions (Boll ALC, FZD ALC, ZJK ALC) and the Viscaria on which they are all based. If I had to choose one of these blades, it would always be the MK Carbon, because here you also get the popular and highly sought-after special outer ply, which you often see with the fish-scale appearance.
