Tibhar Fortino Performance

The blade is stiff. I can’t feel the ball enough. I suggest using the Tibhar Samsonov Force Pro instead. It has similar speed and control but is more flexible. Anyway, it’s a nice blade, and top spins are good.

When Tibhar says this blade has the highest feel, it’s true. I could feel the ball in my hand. The vibration is close enough to perfect for me.

I tested TFP for nearly 3 months, 10 hours a week, using Valmo max on Forehand and Rakza 7 2.0 mm on Backhand. It has a great feeling, good for push and block. Top spin play is comfortable, especially for close and medium distance.

Balsa core blades are not my preference. However, the control on short game is good.
