Going from G1 to K3

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Just found this forum. Hey all :)Not sure how active this place really is? 

Anyway I have a question.

I am using Viscaria with Fastarc G1 max on both sides. Really happy with it but rubber is finally dying after 8 months of daily hard play. 
I ordered the Tibhar Hybrid K3 after recommendations from a friend. Which I now regret as I found out it wont last long. Anyway, it arrives in 1-2 weeks from now. 

What am I to expect of the difference between these 2 rubbers?
G1 is very speedy and spinny. Somewhat control but you cant be lazy. And have to attack and engage the sponge all the time to be able to use this rubber. I play all round everything and equally well. 
Is K3 faster?
Less control? more?
Spinnier? 
Arc?
passive blocks? 
I cant seem to find much information around this rubber. 
Any feedback would be appreciated. 
Thank you.

	I always recommend to trying the rubber from someone before buying it. But my thoughts were: K3 is slower. K3 has more control. K3 on top end is spinnier. But general lazy shots it is less spinny than G-1. Arc is higher for K3, or in my recollection about the same. I don't remember about the blocks. I liked K3, it's a good rubber, but definitely felt it faded quicker than G-1. There are a lot of reviews for this rubber. It is popular. YouTube will have tons of reviews as well.
