This is the newly designed blade for the multiple European Champion and World Cup winner Vladimir Samsonov. His requirements were to have impressive and varied speed reserves whilst still retaining excellent ball control. After numerous compositions of different wood types he settled on the FORCE PRO design. Its perceptible power, balanced touch allows a great deal more force to be distributed into the shot. High performance blade for offensive players.
My blade is 86g and 6.3mm. 7 Ply Limba/Ayous composition. This is my second favorite 7 Ply blade after my holy grail Nittaku Ludeak. It’s speed is a solid Offensive - being faster than a DHS PG7 but slower than Ma Long 3 or Force Pro Black edition. I have this as well as the newer Black edition blade, but prefer this one. The Black edition is a little too stiff (6.7mm) for my game and is similar to a Stiga Clipper. The Blue edition offers more flex for looping while still being stiff enough for hits and blocks. Compared to Tibhar’s other great wood blade, the Stratus Power Wood (thick Limba 5 Ply), this blade is less head heavy, a few grams lighter on average and I feel a touch slower with better feel. Both are great and I enjoy both depending on my mood. Overall, this is an excellent, balanced, do it all blade for a fair price and one of my favorites as a Limba/Ayous wood blade fan. Recommended.
Great balanced blade, no obvious flaws.
advantages are controlled touch play, dwell time and spin, smashes and loop drives.
You have to always loop with open angle. Pairs well with all rubbers. Just powerful enough to finish the point.
very good with h3.
Disadvantages are lack of preciseness in placement, brushing techniques do not work well, always need to play into the sponge. Opening loop cannot be played with strong spin and speed simultaneously. Overall quite bouncy, needs an adjustment period. Lacks a very high gear found in inner carbon blades or harder 7ply woods (pg9).
overall a consistent blade for fh oriented loop drivers.
Great balance of speed and control.
Very good quality blade for a fair price.
I play with Tibhar MX-S in max. on FH and BH and this is a great combo for spin, speed and control.
It's difficult to play at the table, but hitting is very pleasant and controlled. I bought it, tested it, and put it on. I don't even know what rubber better to use with this blade =(.
