Tibhar CO-S 3 Defensive

It's a pretty classic defensive blade that gives you enough feedback with every shot you play. Good feel and control. Slow enough for controlled defensive shots but not too slow at the same time. I'm using 563-1 (1.5mm) medium pips on the FH and my flat hits and counter drives are quite fast but still precise enough to place the ball where I want. Good for blocking loops. Straight handle is quite comfortable and makes it easier to twiddle. With this blade I can do BH chops with pretty high stability and accuracy from mid-distance, although I'd say that you'd need a reasonably slow defensive rubber for that. The blade is not expensive. A great choice for a defensive player who likes to attack from time to time.

A blade with a good feel, slow, with excellent control. Perfect for classic defence, yet still with possible attacks. An excellent bargain!

Soft feel,not to slow.Enough power for finish smash and spindrive shot.Verry good balance between handle and blade.I use it for combination ox long pips(Blitzschlag)forehand !!!,and tin fast classic rubber(Nittaku Hammond 1.4).Control is verry good,especial chop middle far from table ,good for short game near the table and it is possible to attack undercut incoming balls.I dont know why is so cheap,because I tried few expensive defensive blade but this suits me the most.Recommended for modern defence players who mostly play chop and block witf occasional attack.

This blade is seem slow, but when I put grip S Europe on forehand and medium pips on backhand the things are gone on their places! I use 1,3 mm of ticness on medium pips and my bachand become very powerful and controllable. I was amazing what speed can produce this blade with the proper rubber.

Defensive blade but not to slow . I use it with Grass D.Tecs 1.2mm and Acuda S2 . Good for block , push , chop , smash , loop . Nice cheap blade from Tibhar
