Review:

Very good blade!

#2Long Time Ago...

I will write this review in my native language; excellent automatic translators exist nowadays…

Several considerations:

  • The speed and control ratings on other reviews and other blades are generally nonsense. It is extremely difficult to rely on ratings under these conditions.
  • Additional characteristics such as the number of plies, the thickness (important), and the balance point of the blade would be welcome.
  • It would be appreciated if review authors would systematically specify which rubbers they used.

About the blade itself:

  • The weight of this blade is in the range of 70-75g, not 60g.
  • It’s a fairly thick blade (9.3mm), and that’s surprising at first…
  • …And since it’s balsa, it’s also a very loud blade. A huge “POC” sound when you play. Personally, I love it!

For context, I am a very offensive player who likes light blades. When I was very young, I played with a Tibhar Patrick Chila (+Speedy Spin/Black Techno 1.8) and then, more recently, with a Tibhar Rapid Carbon Light (+2 Rakza 7 2mm). At one point, I wanted a racket that was just as light but a little less demanding than the Rapid Carbon Light, so I turned to the Fibretec 75, which is a little less fast.

In short, I used the Fibretec 75 for 1 year with Xiom Vega Japan 2mm rubbers mounted on each side, and here’s what I noted:

  • The blade is very pleasant to play with. It vibrates a lot, and I like that feeling. Very pleasant sound as well.
  • The bet paid off compared to the Rapid Carbon Light: much more control.
  • The bet also paid off compared to the Chila: significantly more dynamic; you can hit hard at the table and at mid-distance.

That being said:

  • The manufacturing quality needs improvement: after 2 weeks, the “Fibretec 75” markings will be erased by your sweat.
  • After a year, an outer ply cracked for 3-4 cm… A fragile blade, then…

I bought this blade as an intermediate player and paired it with Xiom Vega Intro rubbers. However, the blade had a very high throw angle. My third loop consistently landed outside the table. This was either not my style or a result of a bad rubber combination.
