All-wood
This blade offers a pleasant feel, slow speed, and exceptional control. It is ideally suited for classic defense strategies while also allowing for occasional attacks. Its affordability makes it a great value for money.
Soft feel, not too slow. Enough power for finishing smashes and spin-drive shots. Very good balance between handle and blade. I use it for combination ox long pips (Blitzschlag) forehand and thin fast classic rubber (Nittaku Hammond 1.4). Control is very good, especially for chopping mid-distance from the table, and it is also good for short play near the table. It is also possible to attack undercut incoming balls. I don’t know why it is so cheap, because I have tried a few expensive defensive blades, but this one suits me the most. Recommended for modern defense players who mostly play chop and block with occasional attack.
This blade may seem slow, but when I put a Grip S Europe on the forehand and medium pips on the backhand, everything fell into place. I used 1.3 mm of thickness on the medium pips, which made my backhand very powerful and controllable. I was amazed at the speed this blade can produce with the proper rubber.
Defensive blade that is surprisingly not too slow. I paired it with Grass D.Tecs 1.2mm and Acuda S2. It performs well in blocking, pushing, chopping, smashing, and looping. A great and inexpensive blade from Tibhar.
This is the slowest blade that I own, and I use it with Dtecs Ox and Tacky-C.
It is slower than the Toxic3 and feels more controllable than all my blades with Dtecs.
It feels great against loopers who keep looping to my pushblocker chicken wing backhand and then fall apart after three or four loops.
However, hitters rated 1200+ can smack through the spin, and it could be due to the slow speed of the blade.
Also, flat hits into the Dtecs make the ball die on the blade. The solution is another LP or a faster blade, like FW+.
Great blade for the price, it gets a 9 for value/performance!
It’s a pretty classic defensive blade that gives you enough feedback with every shot you play. It has good feel and control. It’s slow enough for controlled defensive shots but not too slow at the same time.
I’m using 563-1 (1.5mm) medium pips on the FH and my flat hits and counter drives are quite fast but still precise enough to place the ball where I want. It’s good for blocking loops.
The straight handle is quite comfortable and makes it easier to twiddle. With this blade I can do BH chops with pretty high stability and accuracy from mid-distance, although I’d say that you’d need a reasonably slow defensive rubber for that.
The blade is not expensive. It’s a great choice for a defensive player who likes to attack from time to time.
This blade fits my game the best. It has amazing control, excellent undercut, and a proper rubber combination. The price/quality ratio is unbeatable.
Works well with Grass D. TecS for a chop block style of play. Needs a fast forehand rubber to hit kill shots; otherwise, it is too slow.
I’m the only one in the office with a custom paddle. I’m learning, so I picked a defensive paddle to deaden the speed of the ball. It works great, and everyone gets a good chuckle out of the sound it makes.
Very good control with inverted rubber on both sides.
Отличное и очень контрольное основание.
Very good control, but can also attack.
Good value for money blade with good control and manufacturing quality.
This blade is perfect for people like me who are beginners. It’s very slow so you can easily control where you want to place the ball. In fact, it may be one of the slowest blades you can buy.
I have three of these blades now and they are very consistent between them in terms of characteristics. This, with the Blitz Schlag on my backhand and Tenergy 05 on my forehand, is the absolutely perfect combination. The control from close to the table, as well as away from the table, gives me the options to be proactive when I’m near and then defensive when I’m playing from the back. The most important feedback I receive from the blade is the feel on the close-to-the-table play.
I have been playing with this blade for 8 hours per week and found it to be a well-balanced blade. In the next 2 weeks, I will order a second blade as a backup.
Classical solution for defensive blade - 3-ply soft wood.
Rare nowadays.
Good to excellent control, good for secure defense and random quick attacks.
Provides good spin feedback with thin pips in rubbers.
A bit mushy for thick ones but if one adapts…
Works well with pips out rubbers on thin and thick sponges, did not try anti-spin.
Feels slow at first.
I pair it with Zeitgeist and it’s very easy to play. The blade is of high quality. The feel of the blade is very high. Recommended for long pip players who play close to the table.
Just initial comments…Great blade for defense…close to the table…not as much flex as Toxic 3…works well with dtechs ox…slower than toxic…can open block with dtechs ox…speedy service and delivery from tabletennis11.com…will order a few more very soon…don’t need to buy any expensive balsa because this blocks very short not many blades can do this…thank you tabletennis11!
Madeira tem boa apresentação, mas tem uma emenda no núcleo ao nível do cabo, sendo penalizada na qualidade. Esta madeira com essa emenda não deveria ter sido comercializada pela Thibar. Talvez por isso a promoção. Quanto ao serviço, bom e rápido com boa embalagem.
