It combines the lightness and extraordinary playing sensation of Balsa heart veneers with the power and precision of high-tech carbon fibres. It is a light-weighed blade enabling a good control, even at high speed. Its strengths are fast and powerful strokes at the table and at half-distance. Due to the light weight and the two carbon layers, players have the necessary decisiveness away from the table to play a brilliant offensive game.
I started with the Donic Dicon three years ago. I played with it for about a year and really loved the feeling it gave me. After that, I decided to try a carbon blade. I played for two years with the Yinhe T11+ and was very satisfied with it.
A few months ago, someone gifted me a Tibhar Rapid Carbon Light, so I decided to give it a try. At first, I was skeptical and thought there was no way it could replace the T11+, but after a few sessions I started to understand its strength.
This blade has outstanding control. I can literally place the ball right on the line when I think it’s going out. The short game is much easier because the ball doesn’t bounce that much, but at the same time it generates very high speed and spin when attacking.
I play with a Palio AK47 Red on the forehand and a Nittaku Hammond CRVA on the backhand. The whole racket weighs only 155g. Some people say it’s too light, but I honestly wonder how they play with those 190g sledgehammers
The fastest blade I have ever tried. Low control. Sound is very loud and annoying. Very high spin when serving. Tried with Chinese Palio and 729. Later switched to another blade.
Soft, high control, little speed and power of impact,with vibration blade, excellent short play, incoming rotation easily takes, good with Tibhar Evolution MX-P rubbers,
