Hi All, I have recently switched to Tibhard Hybrid K3 rubber (max, no booster) on the forehand and really enjoy the rubber while it's new. But it seems that durability is really a problem since in ~3-4 weeks rubber loses quality quite drastically. It is still playable, but when I change to the new one the difference is noticeable that much that it seems that I need to adjust again. I play quite a lot (10-12 hours a week) with drills as well as competition, but still I would expect a bit more durability. Are there any good hybrid alternatives from other brands which are similar, but more durable?

I think all ESN rubbers tend to die quickly. You can get Chinese hybrid rubbers that last much longer. |

| Yinhe Jupiter 3, Big Dipper, and 729 Bloom Power are very good hybrids, and reasonably similar to K3/D09c |

The Hybrid I currently use which is a bit slower and stickier is the Golden Tango. Like a more reliable Big Dipper. Doesn't die that quickly either because it isn't overly fast to begin with. ------------- https://youtu.be/jhO4K_yFhh8?t=115" rel="nofollow - I like putting heavy topspin on the ball...

I just get a Friendship Battle II National with 40° sponge, and will boost it to the limit. I bet it will be better than any hybrid.

Yes. It is a bit bouncier, so I don't like it as much. But it is a good rubber as well. ------------- https://youtu.be/jhO4K_yFhh8?t=115" rel="nofollow - I like putting heavy topspin on the ball...

| I am planning to try Jupiter 3 Asia. Have read good things about it and it is also quite cheap. |

Thanks for all suggestions! I have decided to give boosted Dignics 09c a try - even though I tend to stay away from butterfly due to ridiculous prices…

If you want to boost I believe it's a better alternative H3.

| The only real solution to not liking rubber that loses its boost is to not boost rubber. I am using yasaka rakza X and it seems to last forever and is not boosted. On the right blade razka Z does the same (my blade is a little too slow for it, or I would use it). |
