EL-S: high grip PRO top sheet, elastic medium-hard sponge, extremely high speed and maximum spin. The EL-S combines the enormous spin values of the MX-S with a completely new rubber surface and the power of the MX-P. TIBHAR created a stand-alone rubber in the evolution series, with a medium-hard sponge and a specially tuned pimple geometry, setting new standards in terms of elasticity. The EL-S gives sensational touch despite enormous dynamism and high spin values. Excelling at topspin, the EL-S offers high rotation and power in all game situations.

Comparing it to the MX-P — the MX-S has a softer sheet and sponge, so you get consistent shots on the forehand close to the table. Speed is plenty powerful close to the table, but shots get shallower the further you move back. Spin is easier to generate than the MX-P on both drives and serves. It holds the ball well, but countering and blocking felt easier with the MX-P. I think it's a really usable rubber if you put it on your backhand. One thing to watch out for — the sheet is weak and chips quickly.

A senior teammate gave this to me almost brand new, so let me share my thoughts. The first things that stand out are how hard the sheet is, the subtly firm sponge, and how straight the ball flies off it. The speed is amazing and it grips for a decent amount of spin, but the control isn't great. There's not much consistency either. Since I'm a blocker, let me just say it — it's hard to block with!! It suits smash-happy, close-to-the-table attacking players more. After using it for a month I've gotten more used to it, but I keep running into the same thing: the ball just doesn't lift, the spin is mediocre and there's no consistency... but the speed sure is fast. Overall, this isn't a rubber I really want to keep using. The MX-P is better suited to defensive play.

Good is really the only word for it. I switched over from Hexer Grip, and now I can lift every one of my opponent's serves, plus the spin on loop drives is off the charts. Countering is easy too, and I've beaten opponents I could never beat before. Speed is decent as well, so I think it's a well-balanced, great rubber. If you're going to switch to something in the Evolution series, this is the one I'd recommend.

I think it's an easy-to-use, good rubber.
It's on the softer side, so it's easy to put spin on the ball, and I find it easy to control.If there's one downside though, it's that the edge of the sheet chips more easily than other rubbers. Little bits keep flaking off, which bothered me.
Still, it's an easy rubber to use, so I'd recommend it to all kinds of players.

Overall it feels a lot like the MX-P. It's similarly hard, with a firm feel on contact, holds the ball well, and generates strong spin. That said, the MX-P has more bounce, so I'd call the MX-P the version that's specialized for close-to-the-table play. This one is especially easy to counter with, and if you play anywhere closer than mid-distance, the EL-S has the edge over the MX-P.
To make up for the lack of bounce, I'd recommend pairing it with a blade that has a special material core, or a 7-ply all-wood blade, and using it on the forehand.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

This pairs a spin-oriented sheet with a 45-degree sponge. Compared to the MX-P it's a bit softer — light-to-medium hits generate more spin than the MX-P while speed is about the same. It doesn't fly as far, though. Max power falls short of the MX-P, but the feel is almost identical, and on lighter hits it actually has more power, so I'd call it an easier-to-use version of the MX-P. On both forehand and backhand you get powerful shots all the way out to mid-distance from the table.

First off, this rubber has a nice arc and lands on the table consistently. It works great on both forehand and backhand, and it's just as good as the MX-P. I tried some topspin rallies with it and the consistency is amazing. It's not that hard, and the sheet grips the ball so well that you don't even need MX-P levels of power to get results. It also feels like the grip has gone up even more. As for receive (pushes and stops), the spin is insane. Depending on how you cut it, it can come back short over the table too. On the forehand, you can go with a heavy backspin serve followed by a third-ball drive, or if you're receiving, chopping it back hard to force a miss also works well. For a German-made rubber, the grip is the best I've ever felt, so I think it's really great.
