Tibhar Samsonov Force Pro Black Edition

Good blade for attacking looper style. Nice price worth this quality. Use it with MX-S max; enough power to play in every zone.

The blade is well-made and offers many desirable qualities. It shares similarities with the Stiga Clipper but falls slightly short in some aspects. I personally prefer the Tibhar Force Pro due to its increased flexibility and aggression.

The black edition of this blade may offer a marginally better handle and a touch more control on certain shots.

Price & Performance product

I used this bat with Tibhar Evolution MX-P 2.1mm rubbers for over 6 months in 2021. The weight caught my attention when I first got it, weighing 194 grams with rubbers.

It took some time to get used to. I remember having difficulty with control in the first practice. The Tibhar distributor said I had to train for 300 hours with the bat to get used to it.

Shots and smashes: An outstanding blade for shots and smashes. It is very effective at sending its energy back to the opponent, even on balls that come very hard and full. You can counterattack balls that come fast and with spin.

Blocks: The most difficult part in tabletop games was blocking and service replying. I expected it to be softer, but I found the ball being thrown too much.

Top spins: It is fast in spins but not as effective as I would like, which I think has to do with the MX-P rubbers. Tenergy series or Yinhe Big Dipper series, which are thinner, lighter, and have top layers more suitable for spin, would be suitable choices.

I played for 3 months paired with H3 Prov. and Gewo ELpro43. The blade weight is 83 grams, FL. It’s very good for blocks and top-spins at the same time—very rare for blades. It may not be as powerful as some players prefer.

FL Blade Review

The blade itself is very well-balanced and has a great feel in the hand. It is a fast blade with a good amount of control. The FL handle is comfortable and provides a good grip.

The blade is made of high-quality materials and is very durable. It has a good balance between speed and control. It is a good choice for players of all levels.

The blade is also very forgiving. It is a good choice for beginners because it allows for a lot of room for error. It is also a good choice for advanced players who want a blade that is fast and powerful.

Overall, the blade is a great choice for players of all levels. It is a fast blade with a good amount of control, and it is made of high-quality materials.

42mm Ball Experiment

With a 42mm ball, the blade is a bit too fast for me. I found it difficult to control the ball, and I made a lot of errors. I think the blade would be better suited for a 40mm ball.

Conclusion

Overall, the blade is a great choice for players of all levels. It is a fast blade with a good amount of control, and it is made of high-quality materials. However, I think the blade is a bit too fast for a 42mm ball.

The blade is good and offers good control. However, I have played with better blades.

The Force Pro Black Edition is a 7-ply off-range blade with a soft touch and a great deal of control.

First of all, I discovered that this blade falls between Off- and Off, not being particularly fast. Its dwell time is not rapid either, allowing ample opportunity to impart spin to the ball. The spin would likely be enhanced if the second layer comprised limba instead of ayus.

The control is exceptional, providing an accurate perception of the ball’s contact point with the blade. This feedback aids in stroke correction and movement improvement, while also proving beneficial under competitive match pressure.

While I found the handle comfortable, my preference would be for a thicker neck, particularly in the flare version. The straight version may offer a more suitable fit.

One downside to note is its slight heaviness, particularly when paired with two Donic Barracuda rubbers for increased spin generation.

My recommendation is for intermediate players seeking to refine their movements or for those with limited table time. It would pair well with Hurricane III rubber for training purposes.

Overall, this blade is not exceptional in any one area, but it performs effectively in all aspects.

Update

Upon further observation, I realized that the blade is head-heavy. When comparing it to a FEXTRA with an identical setup, the Force Pro felt heavier during topspin and chop strokes. This adds to its speed, but requires stamina to sustain topspin strokes and hinders quick transitions between forehand and backhand.

To maximize the blade’s potential, it is essential to strengthen the user’s arms and overall physique. Otherwise, it will be unforgiving of errors, similar to Chinese rubbers. It is not advisable to use Chinese rubber on this blade unless the player possesses advanced skills or is a professional.

Wonderful blade (Clipper like). Not for beginners because of the weight (mine has a handle straight and weighs 88g) and the speed.

This blade is constructed with 7 plies: limba-5ayous-limba. The blade is well-crafted, with all surfaces sanded and rounded out, giving it a premium feel.

The limba outer ply is enjoyable to the touch, although it feels somewhat thin compared to the thicker hinoki top layer found on the “Joola Aruna Hinoki OFF” blade.

The handle feels hollow and lightweight, producing a hollow sound when tapped with a fingernail. This may bother some users.

The blade balances slightly further away from the “BLACK * SERIES” logo, resulting in a head-heavy feel. This can be awkward for some players when gripping the handle with heavy rubbers attached.

I have been using this blade for about a month but will refrain from rating it at this time.

14 Nov, 2019: Weight=90 gms, provides a good feeling on hands (no annoying vibrations). It is amazing for blocks and loops. Black rubber: Joola Mambo-H, Red=Donic bluefire M2. The blocks are not ultra fast, but all balls were in. Sometime, I was surprised that the ball did not shoot out of the table (soft rubber Mambo-H - very nice underrated one). FH loops were easy. Overall, it feels like a premium blade, special no doubt.

Don’t be fooled by this blade’s ratings. This blade is for the all-round player at a reasonable price. However, the Xiom Diva offers far better control in every department for a blade of similar style.

Its high speed combined with a straight, low arc made looping very difficult. This is because the blade’s thickness does not provide much-needed flex. Usually, this characteristic makes blocking better. However, because this blade uses softer wood on top (as opposed to a hard wood like Koto), blocking was also weaker, and the sweet spot was smaller.

This was also the conclusion of my teammates when they played a game with each blade. For control, the Diva is better than anything I’ve ever used, including my highly sought-after $150 Nittaku Acoustic!

Good blade for blocking and looping. It is a bit stiff, so it takes some time to get used to, but once you do, it is a great blade. The handle is comfortable and the blade is well-balanced. Overall, it is a good blade for intermediate and advanced players.

This is a very good blade. I am currently testing it and I am very surprised at how good it is. The blade may require some slight adjustments.

Simplesmente a melhor lâmina de madeira, com 7 folhas! Controle absurdo e muito rápida. Perfeita para loopings e topspins.

The first couple of FH drives quickly revealed that the Tibhar Samsonov Force Pro Black Edition is a blade at the slower end of the OFF range. Regular FH drives are fast and can be played with a high level of control.

FH drives played with higher swing speeds produce a satisfying cracking sound and feeling with the DHS H8. BH drives with the Waran short pips provide perhaps the best balance of speed, control, and crisp feeling that I had experienced with any setup up until this point.

The blade offers an interesting mix of stiffness, speed, and impact softness that results in a clearly felt ball impact, medium dwell time, and a fast yet controlled response.

Powerful and precision blade, 7 ply allwood.

This blade is the same as the Stiga Clipper Wood.

If you’re looking for a blade that’s similar to the Stiga Clipper Wood, this is a great option. It has a similar feel and plays very similarly.

However, there are some slight differences between the two blades. The most notable difference is that this blade is slightly heavier than the Stiga Clipper Wood. This makes it a bit more powerful, but it also makes it a bit less maneuverable.

Overall, this is a great blade for players who are looking for a blade that’s similar to the Stiga Clipper Wood, but with a bit more power.

This blade is quite nice!

It is a perfect blade for all-around players, as it provides a good balance of speed, spin, and control. The blade is also very well-made, and it feels very solid in the hand.

I’ve been using this blade for about a month now, and I’ve been very impressed with it. I’ve been able to improve my game significantly since I started using it.

Overall, I would highly recommend this blade to any all-around player who is looking for a good balance of speed, spin, and control.

Very good wood blade with a nice feel and a great handle. It provides a good balance between fast and control, making it suitable for various playing styles.

The Acuda S2 2.0 rubber is an excellent choice for the backhand, offering a combination of spin, speed, and control.

At the moment, this blade is my best option. Previously, I used (and still own) a Viscaria with Dignics 09C and Dignics 05, but it proved too fast for me.

On this blade, I use Nittaku Fastarc G-1 on the forehand and Xiom Vega Europe on the backhand. This is the optimal assembly for me, and it took considerable expense to discover. The blade offers good control, and the balls go where I aim.

I prefer to hit balls off the table on my backhand, so the Xiom with its soft sponge is ideal for this. On the forehand, the G-1 is controlled and fast, though not as high-performing as the Dignics 09C. It’s a good combination; try it, and you will save a lot of time.

The Samsonov Force Pro Black Edition had excellent reviews, which influenced my decision to choose this blade. I anticipated it might be heavy with a bulky handle, especially as it’s a special edition with a smaller handle.

However, the flared handle was a normal size and fit comfortably in my hand. The blade was also lighter compared to my Stiga Titanium Master blade, which was heavier and had a thicker handle. Playing has become easier, with smoother transitions between forehand and backhand.

I was concerned that I might not be able to handle this blade with MX-P rubbers, but the speed was comparable to my Stiga racket with Donic M1 rubbers.

Thanks to the Table Tennis 11 team for the excellent service. I ordered the product during the holiday season and was pleasantly surprised to receive it early, like a New Year’s gift. Thanks again.

For those who love wood, this is ideal for training.

TT11 is the best shop!

Compared to blades with ALC (Arylate-Carbon), this all-wood blade is less flexible. However, it offers a good level of power and speed.

I use it with Tibhar Evolution EL-P rubbers on both sides, and it’s a combination that provides a good feeling.

Finally, I perceive that the overall equipment is less heavyweight.

Slow, but good.

Softer than the Stiga Clipper CR, this blade is perfect for practicing loop shots.

Very good material.

As a fan of Samsonov, after a break of about 20 years, I decided to return to table tennis with Tibhar equipment.

The blade itself seems ideal in terms of weight and handle shape, and in this regard, it completely suits me.

I used this blade with:

• MX-P - 1.9-2.0
• Rakza X - 2.0
• Rakza 9 - 2.0
• MX-S - 2.1
• Xiom Vega Japan - 1.8

The best combination for me was MX-P (forehand) and Rakza 9 (backhand).

However, after 3 months of personal training with a coach, I began to realize that this racket is completely unsuitable for me as a beginner. I simply lack the skills and technique to handle it. It’s like you just got your license and immediately got into a hypercar instead of a small car.

Instead of a controlled stroke, I began to block more often due to the decent rebound, and the movements became sharp and short; otherwise, everything would fly off the table. In general, I did myself a disservice.

I think I will return to this blade in a year, and then, for sure, my review will be more positive and detailed.

I shifted to this blade and now have better overall control of my game. My loops are more consistent, and I am able to return shots easily from mid-distance as well.

The smashes are not as fast as I thought they would be, but that helps in keeping the ball on the table. Overall, it’s an excellent blade.

Best wood blade ever. It has a good feel, good power, and spin.

This is a great blade. With Evolution MX-P, it’s fast, powerful, and precise.

At least, for me :-).

Good blade overall. It offers a good balance of control and speed.

Balanced blade designed for use with plastic table tennis balls. It exhibits no significant drawbacks, nor does it offer any particularly surprising or exceptional qualities.

This is a very good job.

I agree that this blade doesn’t excel at any particular stroke, but it performs well in all areas. Compared to the Stiga Clipper Wood, this Tibhar blade has less dwell time, making it less sensitive to incoming spin.

However, the Stiga Clipper loops better due to its increased dwell. The Clipper also generates more spin, but offers less control.

This blade is a bestseller at TT11, which prompted me to try it. I now understand its popularity, as it is an excellent blade for its price point.

One of the best wood blades available. I own both straight (ST) and flared (FL) handles, and I prefer the flared (thinner) handle.

It offers good speed with a lot of feel.

Nice blade, very similar to the Stiga Clipper (approximately 95%).

Highly recommended. The flared handle is a decent size and not too bulky, contrary to what some have stated.

Nice all-wood blade. The handle is a little too thin for me.

Very nice and controllable blade.

The handle is a bit bigger than normal, but perfect for my hand.

Used by many pros!

The price is out of this world, but I recommend it for any offensive player who can’t afford a USD 170 blade.

Good flex, speed, and control. This blade is a looping machine.

One of the best-balanced paddles with a lot of feeling and good flexibility.

Excellent performance, although I prefer the Acoustic LG. They are on a similar level.

One of the best blades I know.

Keep in mind that you will need a heavier rubber to be more offensive.

One of the best blades I have ever tried. It’s great for stroke development and offensive players.

However, it might not be ideal for counter-looping or playing far from the table.

This blade doesn’t have much vibration, but it provides a good ball feeling. I have been using it for three weeks and am really enjoying it.

This blade is a worthwhile addition to any personal collection. I play with Nittaku Fastarc G-1 on both sides, and at 88 grams, the weight feels perfect.

It offers a complete harmony and represents a golden mean in terms of key parameters. The anatomical handle is comfortable. The blade’s linearity encourages playing with a classic, full range of motion.

I incorporate it into a portion of my training for practicing elements. I only use PRIMORAC CARBON for scoring points and when I’m in good form; otherwise, I make a lot of mistakes.

The blade has good control and is rated OFF (offensive). On the left side, I use Butterfly Feint long pimples OX. On the right side, I have Yasaka Rakza PO, thickness 2.0. A thicker sponge allows the blade to be utilized better.

Similar to the Stiga Clipper CR, but offered at a more affordable price point.

Excellent.

First of all, I found that this blade is not super fast, but somewhere between All+ and Off-. Also, the dwell time isn’t fast, but it gives you the time to create the spin you need. Probably it would be better (in terms of creating spin) if the second layer was limba and not ayous.

The control is superb, as you actually feel the exact contact point of the ball on the blade. It gives you plenty of information to correct your strokes and to improve your movements, but also you can use it under the pressure of tournament matches.

I found the handle comfortable, although, for my standards, I prefer it a little bit thicker, especially in the neck. I ordered the flared version, and maybe the straight version is better, but I can live with it. On the downside, I found it a little bit heavy when I paired it with two Donic Barracuda rubbers, so I can generate a little bit more spin.

I recommend this blade to intermediate players who want to improve their movements or for players with a lot of time away from the table. With a Hurricane III rubber, it would be the perfect blade for practice.

Finally, this is a blade that doesn’t shine at anything, but it does everything right.

For the price, it’s an ideal choice, and it’s not just about the money. It’s a very controlled blade.

I switched to it after using a Freitas Bat. All is well.

One of the best blades, with very good control and excellent speed.

Great blade for its price. However, the handle and ply thickness can be an issue if you are used to more compact blades.

It does have good playing characteristics, especially with control and blocking. However, getting power on drives and smashes can present a learning curve compared to carbon blades.

I rate it highly, assuming you don’t have an issue with the bulkiness.

I prefer heavy paddles, and this one fits right in.

It’s very, very comfortable to play with, and I will definitely consider purchasing it again.

One of the best blades available in this store.

Very well-made blade. It pairs perfectly with MX-P on both wings.

I would classify it as an ALL+ blade and it performs well in all areas.

It looks good. However, I haven’t had the chance to use it due to a busy schedule.

Very well-balanced blade. It pairs well with almost any rubber I have tried.

I’ve got the anatomic handle, and it fits perfectly in my hand. I pair it with the MX-P 47 on my backhand and the MX-P 50 on my forehand.

This is the perfect combination for my attacking style (I believe V. Samsonov used this combination). Speed, vibration, and control are all good.

It’s a bit head heavy, which I find beneficial. Best blade for your money; you won’t regret it!

Great combination with DHS Gold Arc and Rakza 7.

I bought this blade for a friend and have tried it several times. It feels good in the hand and is very well balanced.

It’s great for blocking and facilitates very secure attacks.

When paired with Yasaka Mark V on both sides, it performs perfectly. This is a great combination to improve technique. It should also pair well with other rubbers.

TT11 is still the best in this business!

It’s a good choice for both low-spin and topspin play. The blade is back-heavy, which can be advantageous.

Despite being a plywood blade, it plays as fast as most carbon blades and boasts excellent quality. Furthermore, it offers a comfortable grip and is available at an affordable price. This blade is perfectly suited for beginner table tennis players.

Good.

A bit on the heavy side, which could be due to the MX-P rubbers. However, the boyfriend’s brother loves it so far, especially for flat hitting.

All the good things said about this blade are accurate. My blade weighs 89 grams, and I was previously using a Viscaria. I decided to switch to a slightly less fast blade with more control, and I made an excellent choice in selecting the Force Pro B. E.

It’s excellent for use with hard or medium-hard rubbers. I have a Xiom Omega V Asia rubber for the forehand and an MX-P for the backhand.

I am still training to improve my technique, and this blade is helping me a lot. Time will tell when I can better control one with carbon layers.

This is one of the best all-wood blades available.

The choice of rubbers is very important. After trying many different rubbers, I found the best combination to be Donic Bluestorm Z3 on the forehand and Donic Bluestorm Z1 on the backhand. This combination makes it a monster.

This blade is performing wonderfully, offering exceptional control. Topspin shots are simply amazing, and blocks are executed with ease and smoothness.

I’ve paired it with a DHS Hurricane NEO 3 on the forehand and a Rakza 7 on the backhand, creating a fantastic combination.

Since the blade possesses some flex, it pairs well with hard rubbers. At the same time, it also works well with European-style rubbers. I’m very happy with this blade.

This blade offers excellent control. It’s a solid choice for players who prioritize precision and placement.

Very comfortable to play with. There is plenty of control and speed. The build quality is excellent. I recommend it.

Nice blade with a soft touch in the short game. I would rate it Off-.

The handle offers a great grip, especially for larger hands.

This blade is suitable for all-around (ALL) to offensive (OFF) players because it allows you to execute a wide range of shots.

It is a nice blade for intermediate-level players.

The workmanship is good. However, the blade is just average and not an outstanding one. The price is good!

I already own two table tennis bats, but I couldn’t resist buying this beautiful blade when I saw it was on sale.

I had to buy it, and it’s currently still sitting in its box at home. It will be my next bat next year.

Very good quality 7-ply blade. It has a similar feeling and construction to the Clipper Wood, but with a much better handle and overall feel.

This blade is good for loopers and hard hitters alike.

I’m an engineer and play table tennis recreationally. I also have some technical knowledge of the sport, mainly due to my interactions with professional players.

After using this blade for nine months, I’m ready to share my thoughts. I previously used Arylate and Aramid Carbon blades, but I wanted something with more feel, a little less speed, and more dwell time for increased control.

This blade offers a perfect balance of power, feel, and control. You barely lose any speed, but you gain a significant amount of dwell time, which encourages you to complete your strokes and make solid contact. This has essentially improved my technique.

It’s a fairly bulky blade with a thick grip, and the seven layers contribute to its weight. However, the feeling is exceptional, and it provides all the power you need if you hit the ball correctly. (Arylate and Aramid blades provide power even with less-than-perfect contact.)

With this blade, proper technique is crucial. If you lack the patience to refine your strokes, stick with your Arylate blades. But have you seen the price of this blade? Tibhar has truly hit a home run with this one. Enjoy!

A very nice blade. Good for me.

This is a really good blade for me.

I’ve been playing with this blade for almost a month now.

The feel of the blade is excellent, and the control is very nice.

It’s an excellent price for a 7-ply blade.

Great quality.

I’ve been using this blade for two months. The handle has a nice shape, making it easy to transition to the backhand. Playing backhand with this blade is very fast.

On the forehand, I use a red Yasaka Valmo, and on the backhand, a black Victas Stif. It’s very useful for players who prefer to play close to the table.

The sound is soft and woody. Overall, it’s a nice blade for all playing styles.

If someone wants an all-wood, do-it-all blade, then this is a great option. It boasts enough power, throw, and control for a versatile playing style.

However, the feel is a bit soft. If you prefer a harder feel, then the original Force Pro is available.

The handle is nice and comfortable. Overall, this is a really good blade.

High-quality blade. An excellent all-wood construction that feels solid.

It’s fairly fast while still providing good control.

Offered at an excellent price from an excellent vendor. Recommended for most types of players.

89.3 g, 157x151x6.9 mm. It is very similar to the CLIPPER, but slightly slower. The balance is shifted a bit towards the head, making it difficult to play with heavy rubbers. Good physical fitness is required.

Great 7-ply offensive blade, similar to the Clipper type. If you like the Stiga Clipper but find it too hard, try this one from Tibhar.

It feels a little softer than the Clipper and offers more control, with a bit more dwell time.

I recommend this blade if you prefer the feel of wood but need more power than a 5-ply blade provides, or find carbon blades too stiff. My blade with the FL handle weighs 90g.

It plays great with European-type tensors and Chinese tacky rubbers.

A big thanks to Tabletennis11 for the excellent service. Thank you and good luck!

Excellent blade. Thanks a lot, TT11 family!

Decent speed and very controllable, this blade is very good for close and mid-distant attacks. The feel and sound are just a little dull compared to the Stiga Rosewood.

Considering its price, the Samsonov Force Pro Black Edition is the best value blade on the market. When paired with Joola Maxxx 500, this beautiful and light blade exceeded my expectations.

My ratings:

• Speed: 9.1
• Control: 9.3
• Stiffness: Nearly Stiff
• Feel and Sound: Average

I purchased several blades for our club members, and the feedback has been positive. They particularly like this blade.

The TT11 team provided great service.

Well-balanced and fast, but without sacrificing control, this blade is a great option for beginners.

It pairs well with many different rubbers, including H3, H8, Airloc, Alhelg, and Rakza.

The price and quality are excellent.

This is my first custom setup. I have this blade paired with Evolution MX-P rubbers on both sides.

The handle is superb. I have larger palms and short fingers, so some handles I’ve tried can be uncomfortable.

It has a nice large sweet spot. It was tough keeping the ball on the table when I first transitioned, but now I’m eight weeks into using this blade and feeling very confident with ball placement.

Since I wanted to explore new rubbers, I bought a Samsonov blade to alternate with my Viscaria blade. Now I have two paddles of each, allowing me to compare how they match with two versions of rubbers.

The fit and finish of the Samsonov blade is excellent. It has a nicely rounded bat from the factory. With Viscaria, you have to sand the edge yourself to avoid cutting too deep into your hand; this is just a nice detail on the Samsonov.

I think they perform pretty similarly. I can easily switch between them with minimal adjustments. If price is a factor, the Samsonov blade is a deal hard to beat.

This was my first custom paddle, and I was very pleased with it. I recently purchased a Stiga pre-made blade and was disappointed by the handle. This made me nervous about buying another paddle without being able to feel the handle beforehand.

I chose the flared handle, and it felt comfortably thick and fit my hand well (I’m 6’ 1" tall with average hand size). While my overall paddle was heavier than pre-made blades, I didn’t find it excessively heavy, and I didn’t experience arm or wrist fatigue any faster than usual.

My only concern is the exposed wood near the bottom of the paddle where the blade and handle meet. When I hit a backhand against slow to medium-speed balls with heavy topspin, the ball flies off the table with almost the same speed as the incoming shot. The issue arises from the paddle angle needed to return the ball. Due to the heavy topspin, I need an extremely closed backhand angle, but the wood near the handle presses into my hand. This can be adjusted quickly if I notice it during warm-ups, but it’s a nuisance to adjust during a game. I really have to rotate my wrist to make the shot.

He loved it.

For me, I still need more speed.

Slower than I expected, possibly due to the combination with my rubber. Good control. It’s still a good blade for this price. Fast delivery.

Plays very well with Tibhar Evolution MX-S rubbers.

This is most likely one of the best blades available, offering excellent quality at a reasonable price.

No doubt, this is an excellent blade with both power and control. I paired it with KTL Red Diamond on the forehand and Pailo Hidden Dragon on the backhand. The performance is good and fulfilling.

Besides, the workmanship is very good, especially considering it’s not an expensive model from Tibhar. Highly recommended!

Even though this blade didn’t quite meet my expectations, it’s still a good option for beginners. My wife enjoys using it.

This blade offers a commendable balance between control and power.

Tibhar’s quality control is good, much better than STIGA’s.

This blade is harder than the CL, with the same structure as the CL.

The price-performance ratio is very good.

The low price point combined with strong consistency makes this blade an exceptional value.

The blade has a feel similar to that of a fiber blade and exhibits fine craftsmanship. The ST handle is exceptionally full and comfortable. This is essentially an upgraded version of the Clipper Wood (CL).

Good for the new poly ball, offering a clearer feel in hand. Its stable style allows for powerful force.

非常不错的一款七夹纯木，适合练习主动发力。性价比很高。

Nice touch, great speed, big handle. Recommended.

Among all blades with this 7-ply configuration, this blade is top-notch!

Good blade for all-around players.

It offers excellent control, a long dwell time, and medium speed. The blade also features an above-average throw angle.

Satisfied!

As a table tennis coach, I’ve seen a lot of blades.

This blade is the best I’ve ever used. The ball flies deeper and deeper with a beautiful feel.

It belongs to my table tennis club, like all the equipment we use.

It provides sufficient and repulsive force.

I had some initial issues with this blade, but TT11 helped me out. Initially, I considered keeping it solely for my collection, not intending to play with it. However, I was convinced to give it a try, and it became my first blade.

It is an excellent blade that matches perfectly with Tenergy rubbers. It lifts backspin balls very easily, excels in topspin-to-topspin rallies, offers great precision in the short game, and provides perfect blocks.

At first, I paired it with Evolution rubbers, and the blocking performance wasn’t great, I must admit. However, with Tenergy rubbers, it transformed into a blocking machine. That’s why I believe it matches better with Tenergy than with other rubbers.

Holding the Black Super feels lighter than the same weight Blue Super. Although it’s a bit thicker, the forehand feel isn’t significantly different from the Blue Super. The only difference is that it feels more precise than the Blue Super. The center of gravity improves the feeling of control. The backhand is similar to the Blue Super, with no major differences.

Comparing the two, the Blue Super can completely replace the classic CL blade. It can be considered a thinner version of the CL. The Black Super, rumored to be designed for the new material ball, seems to improve control. The speed increase isn’t very noticeable; it’s essentially a control-enhanced version of the Blue Super.

Very good blade.

I prefer 7-layer blades due to their balance of speed and control. I have used the Clipper CR, Ludeack, and Challenge Speed, in addition to this blade.

The Black Edition has less speed but more control compared to other 7-layer blades. However, it possesses sufficient power, which I find satisfactory. Furthermore, the Black Edition excels at blocking.

This blade is very good. It’s fast, but still offers good control and feeling.

Feels great.

Better quality and more powerful than the original Force Pro.

I love the blocks and its beautiful design!

The blade is wonderful. The wood grain is clear and straight, which is exactly what I was hoping for. However, the shipping speed was quite slow.

Very good.

Good speed and control. This blade is suitable for players seeking a balance between fast attacks and aggressive blocks.

The Samonow Force Pro Black Edition excels in looping, smashing, and blocking, making it a versatile option for various playing styles. I found it to be a noticeable improvement over the Xiom Solo, which feels a bit slower in comparison. The ST handle is particularly comfortable and well-suited to my grip.

GREAT.

I previously played with the Force Pro and found its control excellent, but the speed seemed lacking. Therefore, I decided to try the Black Edition.

It delivers! It maintains the great feel of the original Force Pro while adding speed. I own quite a few blades, and the Black Edition outperforms many that cost over 100 euros.

I could always rely on the Force Pro for superb blocking. Now, with the Black Edition, I can rely on it even for power!
