04/04/2024 Good feeling Review by Gokhan Cihan

Quality

Less flexible from the ALC blades. This all wood blade has good power and speed level. I use with tibhar ELP rubbers with both sides. Its a good feeling combination. Finally I sense a less heavyweight equipment

21/07/2023 Для опытных игроков Review by Anatoliy Krasheninnikov

Quality

Являюсь поклонником Самсонова, поэтому после перерыва около 20 лет решил вернуться в настольный теннис с инвентарем Tibhar.
Само лезвие мне кажется идеальным по весу, форме ручки и в этом плане меня полностью устраивает.
Использовал это лезвие с:
MX-P - 1.9-2.0.
Rakza X - 2.0.
Rakza 9 - 2.0.
MX-S - 2.1.
Xiom Vega Japan - 1.8.
Лучшим сочетанием для меня стал MX-P (forehand) и Rakza9 (backhand).
Но, спустя 3 месяца персональных тренировок с тренером, я стал понимать, что эта ракетка совершенно не подходит для меня, как начинающего игрока. Мне просто не хватает навыков и техники, чтобы с ней справиться.
Словно, ты только получил права и сразу сел в гиперкар, вместо малолитражки.
Вместо контролируемого удара начал ставить чаще блок из-за приличного отскока, движения стали резкими и короткими, иначе всё вылетало за стол.
В общем, оказал себе медвежью услугу.
Думаю, вернусь к этому лезвию через год и тогда, наверняка, мой отзыв станет более положительным и детальным.

01/06/2023 Control Review by Gautham S G

Quality

I shifted to this blade and have better overall control on my game now. My loops are in place and I am able to return easily from mid-distance as well. The smashes are not as fast as I thought it would be but that helps in keeping the ball on the table :-)
Overall excellent blade

Quality

Very good job

21/06/2022 Excellent Review by Ardak

Quality

I agree that this blade doesn't shine at some strokes, but does every stroke well. It has less dwell compared to stiga clipper wood which makes the Tibhar blade less sensitive to incoming spin. But stiga clipper loops better because of more dwell. And clipper is more spinny but less controlled. It is a bestseller in TT11, so I gave it a try. Understand why it is a bestseller because it is an excellent blade for such a price.

14/08/2020 Обязательно иметь в коллекции Review by ANDREY ROZOV

Quality

Основание, которое полезно иметь в личной коллекции. Играю с Nittaku Fastarc G-1 с двух сторон. Вес 88 гр. Гармония полная. Золотая середина основных параметров. Удобная анатомическая ручка. Линейность сборки заставляет играть с классической полной амплитудой движения. Часть тренировки по отработке элементов не выпускаю из рук. PRIMORAC CARBON играю только на счет и только в хорошем тонусе, иначе куча ошибок.

18/01/2020 Does not shine at anything but it does everything right. Review by ANASTASIOS TASIONAS

Quality

First of all, I found that this blade is not super fast but somewhere between Alll+ and Off-. Also, the dwell time is not fast but it gives you the time to create the spin you need. Probably it would be better (in terms of creating spin) if the second layer was limba and not ayous. The control is superb as you actually feel the exact contact point of the ball in the blade. It gives you plenty of information to correct your strokes and to improve your movements but also you can use it under the pressure of tournament matches. I found the handle is comfortable, although, for my standards, I prefer it a little bit thicker, especially in the neck (I order the flare version and maybe the strait version is better). I can live with that. On the downside, I found it a little bit heavy as I pair it with two Donic Barracuda, so I can generate a little bit more spin.
I recommend this blade to intermediate players who want to improve their movements or for players with a lot of time away from the table. With a Hurricane III rubber, it would be the perfect blade for exercise.
Finally, this is a blade that does not shine at anything but it does everything right.

11/09/2019 on the bulky side Review by Farzad Kassam

Quality

Great blade for its price, but the handle and ply thickness can be an issue if you are used to more compact blades. It does have good playing characteristics especially with control and blocking however to get the power out of it on drives and smashes can be a learning curve compared to carbon blades. I rate assuming you don't have an issue with the bulkiness.

26/05/2019 Best blade for the money! Review by Bayu Sampurno

Quality

I've got the anatomic handle that fits perfectly in my hand. I pair it with the MX-P 47 on my BH and the MX-P 50 on my FH, which is the perfect combination for my attacking style (I believe V. Samsonov used this combination). Speed, vibration, and control are good. A bit head heavy, which is good for me. Best blade for your money, you won't regret it!

10/04/2019 You cant ask more for this price Review by Eralf Deda

Quality

I bought this for a friend and have tried it several times.
It feels good in your hand and very well balanced.
Great for blocking and makes very secure attacks.
Paired with Yasaka Mark V on both sides and it goes perfectly. Great combo to inprove technique. It should go very well also with other rubbers.
TT11 still best in this bussines!

20/03/2019 It's really good. Review by Luka Konecnik

13/12/2018 Marco perfecto para jugadores intermedios y avanzados Review by DAVID HESSLING

Quality

Todo lo bueno que se dice sobre este marco es exacto, mi marco pesa 89gr y vengo de usar un Viscaria, decidí cambiar a un marco ligeramente menos rápido y con más control, hice muy bien en elegir el Force Pro B. E., excelente para usar con gomas duras o medio duras, tengo una goma Xiom Omega V Asia para el drive y una mxp para revés. Todavía sigo entrenando para mejorar la técnica y este marco me está ayudando bastante, el tiempo dirá cuando podré controlar mejor una con laminas de carbono.

15/11/2018 Best all wood Review by Amit Aisikowitz

Quality

This is one of the best all wood blades out there.
The choise of rubbers is very important. After trying many many rubbers on it, I found the best combination to be Donic Bluestorm Z3 on the forehand, and Donic Bluestorm Z1 on the backhand. It makes it a monster.

24/10/2018 TopSpin, Loop, Flat hits, Chop & Block WoW!!! Review by R&M

Quality

This Ply is doing wonders, what a control it has got. The top spin shots are just amazing. Blocks are very easy and smooth. I have put DHS Hurricane NEO 3 on FH and RAKZA 7 on BH what a combination, since the blade has got some flex properties hard rubbers are suiting really well and the same time using european style of rubbers are good too. Happy to have this blade.

Very good quality 7ply blade. Same feeling and construction to clipper wood with much better handle, better feeling. Good for loopers and hard hitters as well.

13/05/2018 Incredible blade. Review by Cesar Gonzalez

Quality

I'm an engineer, and I play for fun. I do have some technical background on table tennis, specially cause I hang around with proffesionals.

That being said, I've waited 9months to write this review. I come from Arylate and Aramid Carbon blades, and I was looking for more feeling, little less speed, and more dwell time, thus increasing control.

This blade is a perfect mixture of power, feeling, and control. You almost don't sacrifice any speed, but you gain a huge amount dwell time, and that forces you to complete your strokes, and hit the ball right. This basically fixed my technique.

It's a bulky blade, the grip is thick, and the 7 layers really come with some weight. But for God's sake, the feeling is superb, and it will give you all the power you need if you hit it right. (Arylate and Aramid will give you power wether you hit it well or not).

With this blade, it matters. So, if you don't have the patience to work on your strokes, keep your Arylate blades. But hey, have you seen the price of this blade??? Tibhar just hit a grand slam with this blade. Enjoy!

I've used this blade since 2 months. Nice shape handle and easy to change to backhand. Playing backhand with this blade is very fast. I have red side Yasaka Valmo on forehand and black side Victas Stif on the back hand. Very useful for those who play inside the table. Sound is soft and woody..overall nice blade for all.

06/01/2018 A fast All wood blade Review by Abhirup Bose

Quality

If someone wants an all wood do it all blade then this blade is one of them. It boasts enough power, throw and control for that. Though it's feel is a bit soft and if you want harder option then original force pro is there. Nice and comfortable handle. A really good blade overall.

27/11/2017 хорошо Review by Igor Golovlev

89.3 г, 157х151х6.9 мм, очень похожа на CLIPPER , только чуть медленнее и баланс смещен немного в голову, с тяжелыми накладками играть становиться сложно, нужна хорошая физподготовка.

16/11/2017 Great quality blade from Tibhar Review by Alexandr Myroshnychenko

Quality

Great 7 ply offensive blade. This blade is a clipper type. If you like Stiga Clipper blade variation but feel it to hard, try this baby from Tibhar. It feels little softer than Clipper and had more control, little more dwell and. I recommend this blade if you like wood feel, but not enough power of 5 ply or feel to hard carbon blade. My blade FL handle weight 90g. Play great with europe type tensors and with chinese tacky rubber.
Another big thanks for tabletennis11 for great service. Thank you guys and good luck.

02/10/2017 Very good blade Review by Son Tran

Quality

Decent speed, very controllable, very good for close and mid- distant attacks. Just a little dull feel and sound compared with Stiga Rosewood. Consider its price, Samsonov Force Pro Black Edition is the best valuable blade on the market. I pair this beautiful and light blade with Joola Maxxx 500, the result exceeds my expectation
My ratings:
Speed: 9.1. control: 9.3. Stiffness: nearly stiff. Feel and sound: average

13/07/2017 Excellent first custom blade Review by John

Quality

This is my first custom set up. I have this blade paired with Evolution MX-P rubbers on both sides. The handle is superb (I have larger palms and short fingers, so some handles I've tried can be uncomfortable). Nice large sweet spot. It was tough keeping the ball on the table when I first transitioned, but now I'm 8 weeks into this blade and feeling very confident with ball placement.

27/06/2017 Likeable paddle - close to my Viscaria but cheaper Review by Magnus Wiklund

Quality

Since I wanted to explore new rubbers I bought a Samsonov to alternate with my Viscaria blade; so now I have two paddles of each and can compare how they match with two versions of rubbers. The fit and finish of Samsonov paddle is excellent. Nicely rounded bat from the factory - with Viscaria you have to sand the edge yourself to not cut too deep in your hand; just a nice detail! I think they perform pretty similar. I can easily switch between them with minimal adjustments. If price is an factor the Samsonov paddle is a deal hard to beat.

18/03/2017 Almost perfect blade Review by Shea

Quality

This was my first custom paddle and I was very pleased. I recently purchased a Stiga premade blade and was upset by the handle, so purchasing this made me nervous as I couldn't feel the handle ahead of purchasing. I purchased the flared handle and it felt pretty thick and fit my hand well (6' 1" tall, average hand size). While my overall paddle was heavier than premade blades I didn't find it too heavy where I lost points due to arm/wrist fatigue faster than usual.

My only gripe is the exposed wood near the bottom of the paddle where the wood and handle meet. When I hit a backhand against slow to medium speed balls with heavy top spin the ball flies off the table with almost hand speed of return. The issue is the angle of the paddle needed to return the ball. Due to the heavy top spin I need an excessively closed backhand angle, but the wood near the handle jams into my hand. The adjustment is quick if I find it in warm ups, but a pain making in game adjustments. I really have to turn my wrist to make the shot.

01/08/2015 Great off blade Review by Stratos Petropoulos

Quality

I had some issues at first with this blade but tt11 helped me out.Anyways, I was thinking about keep it for my collection and no play with it at the beggining.But I got convinced to play with it and it became my first blade.It is excellent blade and it matches perfectly with tenergies.It lifts very easily the ball from backspin, great in topspin to topspin, very precise in short game and perfect block.At first I played it with evolution rubbers and blocking was not very good I have to say, but with tenergies it became a block machine.That's why I believe that it perfectly matches with tenergies more than other rubbers.

同样重量黑超拿在手中更轻，虽然厚些，但正手感觉和蓝超几乎没太大区别，唯一就是比蓝超有数些，因为重心关系，增加了控制手感。反手和蓝超差不多，没有太大区别。
比较两者，感觉蓝超完全可以作为cl的替代品，可以说是cl的薄版，而黑超虽说传言是应对新材料球而做，似乎是增加了控制，速度上的提升并不明显，可以说是蓝超的增控版。

i like 7 layers blades because of the speed and control. i used Clipper CR, Ludeack, Challenge Speed and this. Black edition is less speed than and more controllable other 7 layers blades.

24/11/2014 Amazing! Review by Eric

I played Force Pro before, excellent control, but the speed seems not very good, so I try the black edition. It doest it! Without losing the great feeling of the original Force Pro, it adds speed! I have quite a lots of blades, yet the black edition beats many that worth 100 euro.
I can rely on the Force Pro for superb blocking, now with the black edition, even the power!
