EVOLUTION EL-P is the most elastic rubber of the EVOLUTION rubber series. EL-P with its medium sponge perfectly fits in between the harder MX-P or MX-S and the softer FX-P and thus completes the EVOLUTION series.
The selected pimple geometry of the elastic EL-P does not even come close to the other EVOLUTION versions in terms of spin and speed. Very precise and powerful strokes can be realised at half distance or at the table.
EVOLUTION EL-P: chosen by most of the Topspin players for whom the MX version is too hard and the FX version too soft, however putting the emphasis on rotation and power.

Serves especially were easy to put spin on, so my opponents seemed to have a hard time returning them. Also, drives have a flatter trajectory and good speed, so I think this suits players with an aggressive style of table tennis. I think beginners through intermediate players will be satisfied with it.

When I paired an Evolution rubber with an Inner Shield blade, it was insane. Chops rip right through the ball, drives are ridiculous, no complaints at all. Why not give it a try?

I used the 1.9mm version on the backhand side of a Viscaria CS.
I don't get along well with a backhand rubber unless it's soft, so I was looking for a soft rubber. Since the Viscaria is a hard blade, even with a soft rubber it flew just the right amount, so the combination worked well for me. As for control, the Viscaria's quick ball release and the EL-P's grip complemented each other nicely, so even though I'm not great at backhand drives, I could easily lift the ball and attack. Personally, I felt like it reminded me a lot of Fastarc C-1. Also, if you have a hard blade you might be able to use it on the forehand too, but I still think it suits the backhand best. When you want it to fly, it flies properly, and it settles down nicely — I think it's an all-around rubber.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

It has just the right hardness.
And on impact, it really grabs you.
Yeah, the way the ball sinks in and then snaps back right after is fantastic — it feels like it's packed with everything that makes tension rubber great.
I think it's especially good for single-sided penhold loopers or all-rounders who prioritize consistency!!!All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

This is a soft tension rubber, so it suits hard blades.
Also, I play penhold, but I was still able to hit a solid backhand with no weaknesses.
Pushing forward while stepping in felt especially good.
Drives also bite a decent amount, so I can recommend this to anyone looking for a softer rubber with no real weak points.

I put max thickness on a Harimoto Inner and it came out to 49.9g.
For its hardness, it feels on the heavier side.
Compared to FX-P, it has better bounce and more speed.
My impression is that it sits between FX-P and MX-P, but leaning more toward MX-P.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

For my first piece of Tibhar equipment, I chose the Evolution EL-P.
The "used thick on forehand" mentioned in the title refers to when I originally had short pips on my backhand, so I used this on the forehand instead.
The later "used thick on backhand" refers to when I switched my playing style from backhand short pips to inverted rubber on both sides, and put EL-P on my backhand for the sake of stability.
First off, I felt like this rubber is perfect as a first step into the Evo series. That's because the sponge isn't too hard or too soft, and since it uses the same topsheet as the MX-P, I think it's perfect as a stepping stone before moving up to the Evolution MX series.
Serves also have good sharpness, and you don't lose out in topspin rallies either.
Chops are sharp too, so I'd call this an all-around rubber. Also, it's probably light.
Its main rivals would be something like Tenergy 80 or Omega VII Pro. In the sense that it offers better value for money than those, I'd recommend this one.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
