Tibhar IV-S

Bois très polyvalent. Avec la balle de 40+, il n’est plus aussi rapide qu’autrefois. Très bon rapport qualité-prix. Il permet de faire tous les coups en sécurité. Pour joueurs en évolution et intermédiaire, bien que je connaisse des joueurs avec un gros classement qui l’utilisent encore. La série IV de Tibhar est à tester et à préconiser dans l’apprentissage du tennis de table.

Offensive Blade - Butterfly Zhang Jike ZLC

The Butterfly Zhang Jike ZLC is an offensive blade that is designed for players who want to generate a lot of power and spin. The blade is made of a combination of carbon and ZL-Fiber, which gives it a stiff feel and a high level of control. The ZLC blade is also very lightweight, which makes it easy to swing and maneuver.

Defensive Blade - Stiga Clipper CR

The Stiga Clipper CR is a defensive blade that is designed for players who want to control the game and keep the ball on the table. The blade is made of a combination of wood and carbon, which gives it a good balance of feel and control. The Clipper CR blade is also very durable, which makes it a good choice for players who play a lot.

All-Around Blade - Donic Waldner Senso V1

The Donic Waldner Senso V1 is an all-around blade that is designed for players who want a blade that can do it all. The blade is made of a combination of wood and carbon, which gives it a good balance of power, control, and feel. The Waldner Senso V1 blade is also very lightweight, which makes it easy to swing and maneuver.

Enough power, honest response, good feeling, nice grip for a small hand. The only dissatisfaction is the head shape. It’s too short for me (vertically). It’s about 153×149mm.

From the experience that I’ve gained from this bat, I think it will be a good choice.

I purchased my blade in 1989, so newer versions may be different. This is a very fast blade that I cannot easily replace. All the light blades I have tested that are classified as OFF are slower than the IVS. This includes the Chila OFF and the Kinetic Supreme OFF. I was very satisfied with the blade, but now that speed glue is prohibited, I want to switch to a lighter blade (weight here is >90g) that provides the same feel and speed. This does not seem like an easy task.
