Frequently asked

Is the Tibhar Hybrid K3 good for beginners?

Not recommended for most beginners. The Tibhar Hybrid K3 is designed for advanced players (USATT 1500+) and delivers its best results with consistent, developed technique.

What thickness should I choose for the Tibhar Hybrid K3?

The thinnest option (2.0mm) is recommended for beginners. Thicker sheets (up to max) add power but reduce control and feel. Thinner sheets like 2.0mm suit players prioritising consistency over speed.
