Tibhar Samsonov Force Pro

Great blade for all-around players. It is very well balanced and plays well with any rubbers. It’s a must-try blade for that price.

Good.

Great blade. As the name suggests, it adds more force and speed to the ball. I even won a tournament with it. It might take time to adjust to if you haven’t used a fast blade before. I have been using it for the past six years, so it’s very durable.

At the beginning, after playing some training sessions, the balls' reactions were sometimes strange. However, I grew accustomed to the blade and now recognize its quality. It provides a nice feeling, enables good top spins, and facilitates effective blocking. Overall, it is an excellent blade.

The blade is 91g with a thickness of 6.1mm and a flared handle. It provides a solid off feel with a perfect balance between speed, spin, and control. Despite its weight, it does not feel head-heavy.

The handle is comfortable, although it may feel slightly shorter than some other blades. This could be due to the reviewer’s large hands, but it is not a significant issue.

Tibhar is known for the high quality of their blades, and this one is no exception. There are no noticeable shortcuts or flaws in its construction.

The blade excels in aggressive topspin play on both the forehand and backhand. No weaknesses have been identified so far.

The reviewer highly recommends this blade and hopes that Tibhar continues to produce it. They were not compensated for writing this review.

This blade is amazing. It excels in power loops, blocking, topspins, pushing, short game, and spin.

Great balanced blade, no obvious flaws.

Advantages:

* Controlled touch play, dwell time, and spin * Smashes and loop drives * Pairs well with all rubbers * Just powerful enough to finish the point * Very good with h3

Disadvantages:

* Lack of preciseness in placement * Brushing techniques do not work well * Always need to play into the sponge * Opening loop cannot be played with strong spin and speed simultaneously * Overall quite bouncy, needs an adjustment period * Lacks a very high gear found in inner carbon blades or harder 7-ply woods (pg9)

Overall:

A consistent blade for FH-oriented loop drivers.

My blade is 86g and 6.3mm, featuring a 7 Ply Limba/Ayous composition. It’s my second favorite 7 Ply blade after my holy grail, the Nittaku Ludeak. Its speed falls within the Offensive category, being faster than a DHS PG7 but slower than a Ma Long 3 or Force Pro Black edition. I own both this blade and the newer Black edition but prefer this one. The Black edition, with its 6.7mm thickness, feels a bit too stiff for my game and plays similarly to a Stiga Clipper. In contrast, the Blue edition offers greater flexibility for looping while retaining enough stiffness for effective hits and blocks.

Compared to Tibhar’s other excellent wood blade, the Stratus Power Wood (a thick Limba 5 Ply), this blade is less head heavy, marginally lighter on average, and I perceive it as slightly slower with enhanced feel. Both are exceptional blades that I enjoy using depending on my preferences. Overall, this is an outstanding, well-balanced blade that’s versatile and reasonably priced. It’s a favorite of mine as a Limba/Ayous wood blade enthusiast. I highly recommend it.

Excellent blade combines nicely speed control. Turbo M1 Bluefire occupy the forehand and the backhand Bluefire M2. This is one of the best blades I’ve tested.

The blade offers a great balance of speed and control. It is a very good quality blade for a fair price. I play with Tibhar MX-S in max. on FH and BH, and this is a great combination for spin, speed, and control.

I think this blade is so good for speed, control, and feel. I play with Joola Max 450 on both the forehand and backhand. I love this rubber. I will buy the new version of this blade: Force Pro Black.

I am a 1200 level player. I consider myself an advanced beginner or low-level intermediate. I can play with the 1500-1600 level guys and sometimes win, but my stroke techniques are not consistent enough yet, and consequently I make quite a few unforced errors. So this blade is light, has excellent feeling, control, and adequate speed. The flared handle is also quite good. Vega Europe and Rakza 7 Soft on the blade. It plays beautifully with these soft rubbers. I have also tried Donic JP-02 on the forehand and Evo MX-D on the backhand. The blade seems to work even better with these faster “harder” rubbers. I own over 30 blades from very fast carbon blades to slower all-wood blades. This blade is very near the top and is a blade I can really create and control with.

Sehr gutes Ballgefühl, guter Katapulteffekt, sehr gut für Spinspiel und Topspin.

I never thought this blade would perform so well in every department. This blade is as fast as any carbon blade but you get the benefit of all wood, such as extra control and feel. The spin and loop are awesome. A looper’s best friend, no need to ask for more.

Affordable and good-feeling blade.

Tiene un buen control y velocidad cuando se le exige más a la pala, es muy bueno para personas que juegan a una distancia no muy alejada de la mesa y también es ideal para jugar cerca de la mesa. Yo utilizo las gomas John Vega en el lado derecho y Tibhar MX-S en el revés.

This is my second Samsonov Force Blue. It is an excellent option for those who are in search of a fast (middle OFF), rather flexible, medium-heavy (84-85), perfectly balanced blade with a big wood handle. I have the Black edition as well, but for my type of game (offensive looper) the blue is the better option. I am impressed by the impeccable service TT11 is providing.

Good blade.

Simply amazing. Great feeling, speed, spin, and control.

Medium feeling, not hard, not soft. Good dwell time. Works well with many types of rubber.

I’m happy.

Great job!

Отличное качество, очень удобная ручка. Мой экземпляр весит 91 грамм, и для меня немного тяжеловат. Основа жесткая, быстрая (Off-Off+) с минимальными вибрациями. Из накладок лучше всего играет с серией Evo, с Vega Pro мне не очень понравилось. Смеш, блок очень хороши, для топспинов, на мой взгляд, не самый оптимальный вариант. Тем, кто любит мягко накручивать, лучше подойдет пятислойка. А в остальном отличная основа.

Samsonov Force Pro is a true OFF- blade. It shines on serves, top spins, pushes. Very good near the table and mid-distance. You need to get more of your own power from far away, and there are better blocking blades. But if you are a top-spinner and counter-looper, this one is perfect!

I am currently using it as my main blade.

This is an excellent wood blade. Really powerful, really balanced, and very versatile. I bought it for my brother at first. I use Arylate Carbon blades, but this one really caught my attention.
I’m actually buying a black one to test rubbers. Excellent product!

Excellent combination with Evolution MX-P for forehand and FX-P for backhand.

Overall, I like this blade. It has a good feeling about it. The only drawback is that the blade is soft and the ball doesn’t bounce faster. You need to push the ball.

Anteriormente usaba una Adidas Fibertec Extreme, que al tener carbono es muy ligera y con buena sensación en el mango. Me está costando adaptarme, ya que aunque es más contundente y ayuda a golpear con más seguridad, las sensaciones del mango son más toscas y después de un par de horas de práctica, la muñeca resiente el peso de la madera.

正手小力量比较像cl，大力量因为薄比cl震手，比cl形变好，更容易拉出弧圈，上台率比cl高，整体上确实就是LAAA这个结构的那种硬弹的感觉。我正手一开始使用neo狂飙40度灌油，有点太弹控不住，换了neo天极39度终于能控制住，有不错的前冲弧圈上台率，正手有点暴力，而加转需要更大力量摩擦，因为脱板快，有些难度，容易打出界。反手支撑好，加上反手用了个比较软而裹球的胶皮，拉球、起下旋都不错，比较稳定，上台率很高，这一点我非常喜欢。

Excellent performance and good price.

I would recommend this blade to all table tennis fans.

The all-wood racket is quite excellent in terms of feel. Speed-wise, it is decent for 40+ balls. Pair it with MX-P rubbers and immediately improve your gameplay.

This blade offers good possibilities for combining offensive game with a nice touch and allowing variations in the game. It works well in the short and medium distance game. A very good choice for offensive players who do not want to neglect control. Hard and medium hard rubbers can suitably be used with this blade. The very good service provided by TT11 is noted on the packaging. The product arrives at its destination in perfect condition. Congratulations.

Very good feeling when attacking or defending…

A very powerful blade with a good price.

Good speed, good control. For players who find the perfect balance between faster attacks and aggressive blocks!

Good price and good blade.
