A wonderful rubber for my Innerforce ZLC. The throw is actually pretty high, seems to be above MX-P. It's like MX-P with added firmness and grip of MX-S. Very dynamic for such a hard rubber, surprisingly easy to get the spin out of it. Feels relatively soft, but don't let it fool you, it has a lot of explosive power and good deal of bounce, and it is not easy to tame on backhand. On the forehand, however, it is very forgiving for the power it offers.

This rubber is a bomb! It shoots like hell, it's powerful, great grip, medium-low trajectory, compact sponge with medium pores (not large) but the topsheet is thin and therefore hooks the ball which launches like a slingshot. It is affected by the effects of the opponent and this is typical of the thin coat.
One of the best rubbers I've used. It has it all, speed, spin and control, with an excellent grip on the ball. I've been using it for months on forehand, and the durability is also great.
This rubber is a monster. I'm used to fast rubbers, I'm used to hard sponges, but this is the most difficult rubber I have used in a while. Definitely not for beginners. But in the right hands, it's unstoppable. Especially if you pair it with a hard blade (any outer ALC like Viscaria for example). You can choose a softer blade to tame it but it would be pity. You don't buy a fast rubber to tame it, right? So this MX-D, like MX-P, is similar to T05 but spinnier than MX-P and with a couple more gears above T05. Throw angle is higher than I'm used to but with a little angle ajustment I am able to drive and smash with confidence. People say it's not good for BH but I found it very pleasant in BH too. You must be able to do really long, powerful strokes with a perfect timing to benefit from this rubber. You must engage the sponge at every shot. As a drawback, I found it quite spin sensitive. Other reviewers say it's not, I disagree. Obviously, don't even think about playing defensive or passive with this rubber. It's 100% OFF+. I use it only against opponents that rely on looping, because in loop rallies, it's more powerful than anything else. If you want to use it against an opponent who has good defensive tactics or is good at flick or other vicious tricks, you better be a champion at reading incoming spin or you are doomed (I'm not so I won't use it against vicious opponents). If you aren't that confident in your skills, K3 is a much safer, more forgiving and versatile option.
Played on off- blade, FH MX-D max, BH Victas V22 max. I played a long time with V15 extra max both sides, and before I had a MX-S 1.9-2.1mm on FH side. To me, MX-D is the spiritual son of the V15 extra. Build for counter offensive play, low spin sensitive, very linear but powerfull, not for spin oriented players. It's simply the best rubber I ever seen for counter topspin. It's is very effective on smash / block / flick, the throw angle is medium high but topspin against backspin is easy. The mecanical grip is good and the ball never slip on the rubber. I don't feel the 50 of hardness, more like 47, a little more than MX-S. The only weak point for me is the services that have less spin and more complicated keeping the ball short (and I don't play with an off+ carbon blade...). MX-D is the best counter offensive rubber on the market, an improvment of V15 extra. If you search an update of the MX-S, you will be desappointed (Victas V-22 is what you want).
How many gears this rubber has is the most impressive thing. So fast on active play and so spiny on active brushing . Very durable and consistent. Arc is high and long on loops or it is laser like when you you play actively. Block is very controllable and easy. It is not sensitive to spin .
Maybe on services you need to try harder a bit but is manageable. Short Game is phenomenal. A bit harder for backhand loop you need to do it in correct way. Really nice rubber.

First off, Tibhar description about this rubber is right on. Truly a great offensive rubber. Using Max sponge glued on Viscaria forhand side. Pairs really well with Viscaria on the forehand side. This rubber is truly amazing on all shots. I found my preferred FH rubber and this is my ultimate FH weapon. Must try and truly top rubber by far.
Excellent backhand rubber. But where are the spin? Twas supposed to be a hybrid of MXS and MXP and i cant really aggre on that, Nevertheless, a good stand alone rubber.
Counter Topspin machine for mid distance. More power than mx-s. Flat hitting also very powerful but sometimes the ball goes long cause of the power red sponge. Blocks are good and fast. The only weak point is service. It is not easy for me to generate spin with the hard rubber. Short receive
is easier with mx-s because the sponge is less reactive.

Its been Long time that I wanted to change my mxp because my opponents block my topspins very easily and the ball land very short on the opponents table. Mxd feels way softer than the declared hardness, overall should be around 49.5/49.8, a bit softer than mxp50. The topsheet is really soft so you can easily grip the ball when you are out of position, away from table or make opening loops without engaging much the sponge because you dont hit the ball hard. When you hit the ball hard you engage the sponge and the trajectory of the ball is very aggressive, fast, low and deep on opponents table, he cant counterloop and makes many unforced errors blocking, many many more than while I was using the mxp.
Block with mxd and forehand flip is way easier due to the hard sponge.
With mxp I must use full force to make a strong topspin, so I made more unforced errors, with mxd the topspin is very strong even if I use 70% full power, so I can make less errors.
With mxd the ball stays more time than other rubbers in contact with the topsheet, so I think it could be a good rubber for backhand too, maybe in 2.0mm, many players that I know are now using it on backhand with good results .
Due to the hardness I suggest it for good players, for medium level maybe its better a mxp rubber that its more easy to engage the sponge

Really enjoy playing with this rubber. The speed and spin is awesome with easy ball placement. The rubber doesn't feel as hard as one might expect. Has a very nice soft feeling when blocking and counter attacking. Can be as powerful as you want it to be. Great rubber when playing fast or slow. If you want to win at this game this rubber will give you a huge opportunity to do so. NICE RUBBER!!!
A great addition to the evolution series of rubbers. Awesome speed, spin, & control. Blocking is superb. Great rubber.
I thought that this was just a moneymaker until i got an ex. It is a marveloous rubber! My clubmates liked it very much too. And 2 was supposed too order it yesterday. It was built to have MX-Ps spees and MX-s spin, and i played these for alot of years now. I play 7 official matches with it and i havent loose yet. You have to brush on serves to reach the enormous spin os MX-S, but i won ALOT of points on my serve. The game from back is the funny part, and good loop combines with good topspin and sidespin from distance, and he block is awesome, and doesnt fly away over the table as easy as MX-P. I totally recommend
Really great rubber, more spin AND top-end speed than MX-P at a similar weight (50g cut at 2.1/2.2 thickness). IMO it is a superior rubber and feels closer to Tenergy/Rozena than any Tensor I've used in recent years. Pores are finer like MX-S but speed doesn't suffer this time.
It's definitely a forehand rubber, I'm using Rozena on the backhand as MX-D is too hard if you like to vary between soft and hard strokes.

The rubber felt softer than mxp 50, it grips the ball better than mxp and its 50 degrees counterpart
