Tibhar Force Pro Special Edition

Good blade. Different SP used on BH and G1 on FH. Comfortable looping on FH when training, feels like it can be done all day. The same with blocking - the blocks are not too fast but can be directed wherever desired. Short pips play well on BH. Anatomical handle is slimmer than the SFPBE and sits well in a medium-sized hand. In comparison to the SFPBE, the blade is slower, softer, and more controllable.

Best for looping, driving, and smashing. When paired with Nittaku Fastarc G1, it becomes an awesome looping machine.

This has become my go-to blade as a long pips (LP) player who wants to use my forehand (FH). It gives the best combination of control with my LP without a sponge or with 0.5 mm sponge combined with good attacking inverted properties. It is a little more controlled than my prior favorite 7-ply wood, Yasaka’s Falck W7. The straight handle is good for me. Balls that go long off my LP blocks with the Falck W7 are now on the table. My FH blocks off my opponent’s loops stay on the table, yet my attack shots seem to have similar effectiveness. I’m super pumped about this blade.
