Tibhar Bernadette Szocs Signature 1

很不错的纯木底板，我很喜欢，重量也很合适

تحكم مميز. لكن السرعة قليلة.

A great step up from 5-ply for players wanting more power but not ready for carbon. I will be using this for a long time!

This is one of the best wooden blades I’ve tried. I changed from ALC. Good feeling, control, and feels just right for me.

The handle might not be suitable for those with big hands. However, it suits me perfectly. It’s so good that I made another purchase.

Good spin, good speed, nice price.

Very good pure wood blade, can’t go wrong with that one.

The blade is locked in for me (I have already played with it for 2–3 years).

For an intermediate player, I guess it’s perfect. Really a lot of control, enough speed, and a comfortable handle. I also like it because I am from Romania and Bernadette Szocs is using this blade, and I felt from the beginning I should be proud of having a player from my nation with a blade specially designed for her. I felt it would be like paying a tribute to this, and when you play with soul it is better.

It is more than a subjective review, but this is what I felt, and I’m very satisfied with the blade overall.

And a funny review for this: :))

Give up fast carbon/composite blades and return to this blade. The ST grip feels very nice and very comfortable for me. Sweet spot is medium. Price is decent and won’t make you look for a second job to buy it, unlike some of the new super-duper blades 300 euros and more. Table tennis is a sport all about touch and consistency, and this blade delivers these in a big way. Everyone get this blade, and you will become famous, and your girlfriend will think you are going to the Olympics. You can donate all your super fast carbon blades to people in prison who have a table or donate them to poor kids around the world. This is the new quintessential “Every Player’s” blade that a ton of players will love.

Nice lightweight blade with good control and spin.

Very balanced blade from Tibhar. Glued Andro Rasanter R42 on backhand and Xiom Zeta Asian for forehand. I mostly spin and smash on my forehand—fast and controlled. Backhand flick is controlled and spinny with the R42 + Szocs 1. I usually block and punch block with my backhand.

Looping is great for forehand and backhand with good technique.

This blade cured my EJ for blades haha.

Good 7-ply blade for the price.

Personally, I found it too soft a feeling.

May be OK with harder rubbers.

I would rate the speed as ALL+.

Light 7-ply blade with good control and medium speed. Good for looping and flat hits. Paired with Andro R47 2.0 and R45 2.0.

Excellent blade! It offers great speed, lightness, and control. It is also very comfortable to use.

This all wood blade is the best solution, if u want to put down any of your carbon blade! I’ve had enough of my ALC blade, what was hard to controll… Tibhar Szocs sig.1 blade has very similar feeling to Nittacu Accustic, but you can feel the evolution. It is modern and dynamic, has more life in it. It’s handle is amazing, headsize perfect. Very good for flat hitting, blocking are my favorite, finally the ball stays on the table… Works very well with Andro Rasanter R47(forhand), R42(backhand). The quality of the blade is very good and for this prize!!! I’ve bought already 2 pcs

Good blade for looping with. Mild flex with every hit and stiffens up only on very hard shots and tends to overshoot. Gear range is 5-20 and little less forgiving in terms of speed style, it will definitely slow your game down if you don’t actively do any shots, even when others are attacking hard. Solid OFF- to OFF. Feels muted but more solid than Infinity VPS or Acoustic. It’s like a version between a Hurricane Long 3 and PG-7. Stiffness between both and control is better but definitely slower. Didn’t work well with MX-S 2.0. Worked well in tandem with DHS H3 NEO, Rasanter 50, R42 and Skyline 2 Provincial. Didn’t seem to work with soft top-sheet rubbers with that click a lot. Serve, receive and open are good and long mid high arc with most shots, passive or active. Counter looping was average, not as good as a clipper due to extra flex but very easy to continue looping through people.

This is a classic Clipper-like, 7-ply all-wood blade on the thin side. It’s a good example of a blade that will grow with you, as it can be used by a beginner as well as an advanced player because it’s very versatile. Add a slow rubber, and you get a control monster. Add a fast rubber, and you can compete with high-level players without issues. My favorite pairing is with Vega Europe 1.8 when I play ALL (training). It’s consistent with a large window; all my shots magically finish on the table. However, any faster Vega or Omega will push you to the OFF side.

I mention Xiom especially because the blade looks totally gorgeous with a black sponge (and no band). The striped pattern matches the handle and looks cool (for those who value the look beside performance, it’s a winner). Another good (and beautiful) combo is with Victas Triple Extra. That way, you have a Chinese, HL3+H3 feeling but a bit slower and more controllable. A fast option I enjoyed is Hammond Z2. However, I didn’t like it with MX-P (too fast and heavy to my taste). Construction is excellent considering the price point.

The handle (I use AN) is on the large side, which is perfect for my large hands, but my 11-year-old son likes it too. Actually, he likes it so much he even stole that blade from me.

This is my go-to blade for training sessions and longer rally play. I paired it with MXP max on both sides. It’s very precise compared to my other six blades, which is why I love to use it. Returning shots and hitting winners feels almost like magic, even when you think you’re going to miss. It’s just such a good all-arounder and so consistent, it’s baffling. More than enough speed can be generated as well to apply pressure to the opponent.

This blade is great for anyone, which makes it unique to most other blades that are specifically tailored towards various levels of play. Basically, buy this blade and you’re good to go from amateur to pro. No wonder Bernie plays it and just beat Cheng Meng with it. It seemed like she just couldn’t miss and stayed with ease in the backhand-to-backhand Chinese women trademark rallies. ;).

Very nice control, but when you hit harder, there is power. I recommend.

Excellent blade speed and feel, very well suited for my ability.

It’s an excellent blade. Lightweight with enough power from mid-distance rally. Loops really well and flat hits are also possible. I am playing with this blade and kept the XIOM AZXi in the box as this blade goes well with my play style. To me, it’s a powerful and nicely designed Yasaka Sweden Extra as I had played with that blade too.

Bernadette Szocs is one of my favorite players, and it is amazing to have one of her products. The blade has a nice flex to it. I can use it for close-to-the-table shots and from farther away with ease. I’d highly recommend it for players that are working towards using rubber with more speed. The blade is all wood, so it has a nice feel.

It’s a thin but solid 7 ply blade. Think Tibhar Samsonov Force Pro Black Edition (TSFPBE), but slower, and with better control.

For local league players or development players who find TSFPBE, Clipper CR, or carbon blades too quick/too hard.

The ST handle is squared and very filling. People with big hands should like this.

This is a very good blade. It has lots of flex for a 7-ply Clipper-like construction. You can really feel the ball and therefore have control. I use Fastarc G1 on FH, and H3 37 on BH. It’s a solid 9/10.

I found this to be an extremely good all-wood blade. I have other all-wood Balsa 8.5 and clippers, and carbon blades. I initially wanted this to be a spare all-wood blade for training purposes and I wanted to change to an ST handle. It looks good and the price is affordable so I got this. Now I like it very much. The feel is firm and stable, very fast in its own way and very good also in control. I matched it with Fastarc G1 for FH and Victas 07 sticky extra for BH. Both are very responsive rubbers with lots of spin and fast. Playing with this blade now is so wonderful.

Blade Review

I’m 15 years old and I play with a short pimple backhand and an MX-P 50 forehand. Unfortunately, this blade does not produce enough spin, speed, or consistency for my forehand strokes.
