Tibhar Stratus Power Wood

I bought this for a clubmate who is a beginner, and we both like it a lot! We got an 85 gram flared handle, and it’s comfortable in the hand. Xiom Vega Europe 2.0 both sides has it feeling very head-light despite its large head size. It feels stiff but soft, so looping has plenty of dwell time and low catapult, making it predictable and easy to use. Smashes are speedy with tons of control, and the short game is not very bouncy. Good blade to start out with and grow into!

Very nice wood feeling with a firm touch. Depending on the type of game, goes with any type of rubbers. Thanks tabletennis11 for sending the requested weight.

This is a good blade for developing players.

Only the downside is putting heavy rubbers makes it head heavy, and I prefer more balance in my setup.

Soft feel blade capable of producing heavy spin and power.

Great blade, fast, and controllable.

High quality, very good for shot power.

Fast with good control. Some flex to help with the loop. Compatible with medium hard rubbers. It’s a fun blade to play with.

Beautiful blade. Great value. Fits well with my playing style.

Excellent and quite consistent blade. Matches well with MXP. Powerful enough to finish a point. Generates a lot of spin compared to my TBS. Perhaps could be the increased dwell time. Highly recommend.

Very good, but fairly blade heavy.

It doesn’t fit well with my rubbers but is still a good blade.

This blade is versatile and caters to a wide range of playing styles. As a controlled attacker and counter attacker, I highly recommend it. It provides ample speed for handling balls away from the table, while maintaining sufficient control for close-range play.

I have experimented with various rubber combinations on this blade. Currently, I use Neo Hurricane 3 2.1 on the forehand and Xiom Omega IV Pro 2.0 on the backhand. This combination has proven to be the perfect fit for my playing style.

TSPW is one of the best blades I ever used, and I used TBS, TB ALC, Primorac Carbon, and Sardius in the past. This blade has an excellent balance of control and speed. I ditched all expensive blades for this one. It seems to suit my game the best. I am a heavy topspin / heavy spin power looper type. I smash as well when it gets a bit high. I paired this blade with MX-P on both FH and BH max, and I have never seen so much spin when I used other carbon or arylate blades. Only issue that I have is it gets heavy when using heavy rubber such as MX-P max on both sides due to a larger head size. I switched to 2.0 and the weight is just right for me. The throw angle of this blade is also high. Overall, it is an excellent blade. It is excellent when paired with Evolution rubbers. I bought another blade recently. You can’t go wrong with this blade.

This blade has incredible feeling. It’s not the fastest blade, but you really feel every stroke. If you put European tensor rubbers on it, you will be able to play fast shots no problem. With Chinese rubber, you can hit very, very spinny shots.

I’m a beginner, I’ve only been training a couple of months, and I bought this blade based on reviews on the Internet, even before starting classes. I combined it with Xiom Vega X rubbers. It didn’t live up to my expectations. It seems heavy and unbalanced to me. When I tried my friends’ carbon blade, I instantly got the hang of it and didn’t want to let it go, though it’s not recommended for beginners.

Thanks TT11 for fast and high-quality service!

Amazing quality, best prices, quick service, and very supportive people.

At first, the bat appeared too fast for my level of play. Then, slowly, I started getting used to it, enjoying the control that comes with what seemed to be an abundance of power, considering there is no carbon in it. Previously, I used a Stiga Classic bat, so this definitely seems to be a step up in my game.

Sorta heavy, but I can feel my hits.

I used this racket for 11 months, going from a 500 Rating to 1100. Given its budget-friendly price, I think it’s a good option for beginners.

For 50 euro, it is the best paddle. In my country, sellers do not import it anymore. They want you to buy expensive (Tibhar SPW is not so good, you must buy Nittaku).

If you want speed, put speed rubbers. Not for top players.

Slightly larger head size, but with a larger handle; remains well balanced even with heavy rubbers. Mild feel and well-behaved characteristics, good for all offensive shots. Samples received have been 92g and two 88g per request, excellent service from TT11 as always.

This blade has the perfect speed and feel needed for beginners.

This is the new gold standard for an all-around racket for intermediate-advanced non-defensive players, replacing the Infinity VPS as my #1 recommendation. It fits a variety of styles and is stiff but forgiving.

Good quality blade that I think can suit many levels. Not too slow for a wood blade with good control and feeling.

Probably the best 5-ply all wood offensive blade out there for power spin loop game. Old is gold!

One thing I need to mention: all the handle shapes are great except the straight handle. It is massive, only suits giant hands, so careful with the ST handle.

A good racket in its category, offering average properties that make it particularly suitable for beginners. However, the handle may require some time to adjust to.

Very good for beginners and offensive players who need a racket with good defensive capabilities as well.

Balanced between speed, control, and feeling. Never go wrong.

The blade suits my style of play and is pretty handy.

As advertised, this blade delivers on every aspect of the game! Looping, blocking, pushing, and flips—it does it all! It has tremendous feel and balance, and the larger grip fits my mitts perfectly! Great job, Tibhar!

This racket is great for power and control! I have changed many rackets, and I felt in love with this one. It is faster than Primorac 5ply that I used before and has smooth edges. Best combination for my taste is with Nittaku Fastarc G1.

A medium fast blade that goods feeling, and is reasonably priced.

I bought it keeping in view that it is an all-wood blade, so it would be slow and I would match it with fast rubbers. But I think this blade in general also has a good amount of speed, more than I thought. Sometimes it is difficult to block opponents' loops on the underspin. I am using maxxx-p on the backhand max thickness and Xiom Vega Asia on forehand max thickness. I also mentioned the weight in the comment be 87 grams… maybe that’s why it turned out to be more offensive than I thought.

Best budget blade. Must buy.

Table tennis blades should be lightweight and comfortable to grip. The weight and comfort greatly determine the player’s ability to control the ball and ultimately their chances of winning. However, there’s no “one-size-fits-all” blade; each blade has its unique feel and is best suited for different playing styles.

The Tibhar Stratus Power Wood is a 5-ply OFF- blade composed of Limba top and secondary plys with an Ayous core (Limba-Limba-Ayous-Limba-Limba). This blade construction is the same as Butterfly Petr Korbel, Donic Waldner Senso V1, Galaxy M4, Joola K5, and Xiom Maximus and variants. Tibhar does an excellent job on build quality for the SPW with a sanded handle, wings, and smooth top-plys. The SPW weighs in at 90 grams and is 6.2mm thick. The head size measures 151.5mm x 158mm making this blade a little larger than blades from other mainstream manufactures.

veri gud

To jest moja pierwsza ofensywna deska. Mogę powiedzieć, że oferuje wspaniałą kontrolę przy jednoczesnym zachowaniu dużej prędkości. Wygląd i chwyt są doskonałe. Dźwięk jest również w porządku. Ogólnie polecam tę deskę.

I have been using two of these blades for a while now. I keep the rubbers from the previous seasons on until they need to be replaced. I upgraded to the Power Wood from a slower control blade. This offers more offense while retaining the touch. I happily rate this as off-. Recommended.

It’s a steal at this price point. Tried many blades including Nittaku and Butterfly. This was the best.

A good blade for staging techniques with future progress.

Good feeling, very good control, and surprisingly fast.

It has a nice feeling, good control, decent speed, and a huge sweet spot. But it lacks power like most 5-plywood blades. Good choice for top spinners.

Best blade for beginners and intermediate OFF players!

For this price, there is no better wood that I know of. It is good for everything… of course, it is slower than the Acoustic LG or the Tibhar Force, but just barely… and it works for all shots. Excellent for developing technique or for offensive players who want something with a fine touch and a lot of control, which facilitates shots with top effect thanks to its flexibility. Good vibration. Do not put very heavy rubbers; it can be unbalanced.

I bought this wood because it is recommended by EmRatTich as one of the 10 best in all history—it does not fall short. The feeling and the perceived quality are excellent. My wood weighed 87gr and I combined it with Rakza Z red rubbers and Victas TDE black (heavy), with which the total was: 199gr. The sweet spot is large, perhaps because the head of the paddle is larger, but surely also due to the type of wood used and the type of assembly, glue, etc. It has an exceptional touch, very precise, it does not lack power, perhaps it is OFF- as everyone says and, compared hand to hand with a Nittaku Acoustic without carbon (same rubbers), it is hardly less reactive. The handle is very comfortable and well finished. I think I would recommend this paddle to many types of players, even beginners… it should be a standard in my club. The chosen weight is very important, the lighter ones will logically be less offensive and should have less heavy rubbers to avoid being unbalanced in weight.

My balls passed close to the net in slices, short touches, it has a lot of control and it is very good for top because of its flexibility.

Just waiting for it to come with my Rakza 7 and Tibhar Aurus. I think it will be good for short points because I like to finish the match in a short time and like to attack with my side spin.

About one-month usage as of this review. Using this with Thibar MX-P 2.0 on both sides. Overall a very good blade that I will be keeping: the control gained compared to my current Hurricane Hao blade far outweighs the small loss of power.

• Keeping more balls on the table and where I want them from close to mid-distance, whether on blocks, topspins, or flat hitting.
• Returning long serves with topspin is also more accurate. The blade/rubber combination provides very good spin and placement control. +/- Takes a little more effort when further away from the table. That is fine because it gives me the opportunity to correct my strokes, especially on BH, at this distance. With faster blades, I had less effort to put to get the balls back.

• Flared handle is a little slippery with my dry hands. Ordered grip tape.

Despite being a 5-ply wooden blade, the Stratus Power Wood is not suitable for beginners. It is relatively difficult to control. Additionally, its larger head size necessitates larger rubber sheets when cut, which contributes to an increase in weight.

While the Stratus Power Wood may not be an ideal choice for beginners, it is not necessarily a subpar blade. However, for those starting out in table tennis, it would be more appropriate to consider blades with ratings such as All+ or Off-, such as the Nittaku Septear Lead.

Ajoyib, boshqarish uchun qulay.

Off Probably, the best of Tibhar. However, I wish Tibhar could make a slight change in the handle (making it bigger) & head shape (making it smaller), then I’ll use it forever!

Very good blade for players who like to loop with spin and control. It offers a good balance between speed and control, making it suitable for a wide range of playing styles. The blade is also relatively lightweight, which makes it easy to maneuver. However, it may not be the best choice for players who prefer a more powerful blade.

Bought this blade for my student. Another student who had used the blade really improved his game. The blade has a good touch, control, and balance. My student really enjoys playing with it. Getting it lacquered is a good idea since the blade is prone to splintering. The shipping and packaging from TT11 were quick and very nice.

Great feeling and huge amount of control. Very good blade for the price, works very well.

Maybe due to the shape of the head. The blade itself plays fine. 84gm plays way different than 88gm, so know the weight you need before you order.

I can say only good words about this blade. With rubber Tibhar Evolution MX-P and Butterfly Tenergy 05, it is a fantastic weapon with high accuracy.

An O.K. choice if you are on a budget. Handle grip is good. Bat is suitable for flat smashes and blocks. Balance is way down near the handle itself and not at the sweet spot of the blade for effective topspins and loops. Bat is on the lighter side. Found it a bit fast and inconsistent for loop drives. Arc does not get formed, and the ball tends to miss the table while looping. Dwell time is less. Bat does not really “bite” into the ball for effective loops and topspins. Strictly pair only with slower, more control rubbers.

Excellent quality sheets for rubber protection. Very competitively priced and would recommend to anyone using tacky rubbers.

I have been now playing with Tibhar Stratus Power Wood for approximately 3 months. At first, the blade seemed lighter. I fixed a Tenergy05 (red) and Andro Hexer Powergrip (black). With rubbers in, the blade weighs slightly on the heavier side. The blade performs well and has decent control. I found the Hexer easier to control over Tenergy05, but that just could be me getting used to new rubbers. I recommend the wood for intermediate players who may be looking to better their game. It is a good blade for offense and has good feedback, especially with the Hexer Powergrip. Lighter blades are certainly available in the market, but I felt the blade is well worth the price.

This is one of the best blades I have tried so far. Ask for a light version when ordering and put on a lightweight Gewo Proton on BH and Xiom Vega Europe on FH, both 1.8mm, and you will have an excellent setup.

20 years ago, I went on a journey, playing with carbon blades. I took a 10-year hiatus from table tennis in between. In Feb 2019, I came back to the sport and was set up with BTY Viscaria. I like that blade. And I know that blade was used by Zhang JK and other great Chinese players. However, two months ago I switched to the all wood Tibhar Stratus Power Wood and I cannot be happier. I just feel that Stratus Power Wood gives us as much power as Viscaria but better control. If you have a good stroke, you don’t need carbon to give the ball its speed and spin. I am now introducing Stratus Power Wood to my friends at the club. Everyone likes it.

Lots of value for your money. It’s a decent OFF blade with a slightly large head. The handle is rather bulky, so ideal if you have big hands. Despite the speed, this blade offers good control.

After my first session, I must say I’m very surprised with the control. With decent speed (I would say faster than DONIC WSC), this blade has impressive control. I used Donic Baracuda and S3 rubbers glued with two layers of “fresh” Swedex (because the head is bigger than my other blades, so I needed to pump up the little rubbers) and I can still play with good accuracy. More after the next sessions. update: With the new setup, the weight of my racket is 201g due to the bigger head and heavy Victas rubber. But to the point: control and nice speed are what I can say after a few weeks.

The Tibhar SPW is the best all-wood blade I have ever used. For the price, you absolutely cannot beat it. It really does do everything that the description says. My only complaint, which leads me to go back to my carbon blade, is that the blades can be inconsistent. I have two SPW and one plays fairly fast, stiff, and just plays awesome. I ordered another one for a backup and it is slow and has lots of flex. The wood grain is different between the two and there is a noticeable difference in pitch when bouncing a ball on the blades. Had I not had the faster one, I, of course, would not have known any different, but as I said, this is what led me to go back to my TB ALC, which is always the same. If you get a SPW where the wood grain is close together, you got yourself an awesome offensive wood blade with great feel and control!

Good blade with good craftsmanship. Good speed when paired with Chinese rubbers. Good control with tensors. Paired with Xiom Vega Pro (FH) and Yasaka Rigan (BH). Nice combination.

The blade measures 6.2mm and is constructed with 5 layers: Limba-Limba-Ayous-Limba-Limba. I tested two blades, one weighing 92g and the other 87g. I found the 87g blade to be slightly slower than the 92g blade.

The blade is faster than my previous Joola Rossi Emotion and BTY TB ZLF blades, but noticeably slower than the Joola MC1. It is similar to the Nittaku Tenor but offers better control, flex, and a slightly slower speed.

I prefer the TSPW blade over my old Primorac Off- in terms of speed, feel, sound, and control. However, the TSPW is significantly faster.

The blade is versatile and suits various playing styles, including looping, hitting, and flicking. I paired it with 2x Vega Europe MAX rubbers and achieved a total weight of 178.5g, which I enjoyed.

While some suggest the blade is not head heavy, I disagree. However, this is a personal preference that may only be relevant for those seeking a lighter setup. I sanded 2mm from the top and wings, finding it to be the perfect weight for me. However, I do not recommend doing this.

If you’re looking to develop proper technique and generate your own power, I recommend considering a slightly slower blade to avoid relying on equipment. Nonetheless, the TSPW provides ample power when needed.

Despite its low price, this blade compares favorably to more expensive blades from brands like Nittaku or Butterfly. It’s an excellent value for the price, and I highly recommend it.

I recently purchased a blade assembled with MX-S Max and FX-P Max rubbers from TableTennis11. Upon receiving it, I noticed its significant weight. It is noticeably heavier than my previous heaviest racket, weighing approximately 189-190 grams. This weight distribution is particularly noticeable towards the head of the blade.

While the weight may appeal to wrestling enthusiasts, it may present challenges for those seeking a more agile racket. To mitigate the weight, I intend to remove the rubbers, sand approximately one centimeter from the blade’s surface, and a few millimeters from its sides. After re-attaching the rubbers, I will perform necessary adjustments to optimize its performance.

Despite the initial disappointment, I believe that with proper adjustments, this blade can potentially deliver a satisfying playing experience. I will provide further updates once I have had the opportunity to test it more thoroughly.

I had wanted to try this for a long time, but no one around me plays with one. So I ordered one to try it out. Build quality is excellent. Even though lacquering was not done (ordered, but the blade I received was still in the plastic wrap without lacquering), I had no problem gluing many different types of rubber on for trial.

My main blade is an ALC blade (true carbon), which feels a bit stiffer and slightly hollow compared to a Butterfly ALC. The Power Wood has an even more hollow feel to it. It is powerful and not as controllable as, say, a Clipper Wood. But it is faster overall than most of the 7-ply wood that I’ve played with.

Good blade for intermediate to advanced players.

Plays really well for the price.

Do-it-all blade with a very reasonable price. Can’t go wrong with this.

After a few months of playing with this blade, I can only say it fits me perfectly. Recently I put Rozena 1.7mm and T05 2.1mm, and the feeling is even better. It is good for active blocking and spinning the ball, and perfect for attack.

I have played with it for almost a month, and mine weighs 87g. Very nice feeling, without vibrations. A little bit faster than I expected, but after a few sessions, it fits perfectly. I paired it with BH: Rozena and FH: Xiom Vega Japan. Mine is oversized, so I like it even more:))

Nice blade with decent control. But, considering the price, I liked the Yasaka Sweden Extra more.

Good control. Good feel. Not fast.

Feels very good to play with this blade. Blocking feels very nice with this, also has good pop for playing fast and you can generate nice spinny topspins.

Also, the handle is gorgeous.

Feels very good to play with this blade. Blocking feels very nice with this, also has good pop for playing fast and you can generate nice spinny topspins.

Also the handle is gorgeous.

This blade was a major change for me, so I had to make some adjustments to my strokes. I was very impressed with the feel of the ball and trajectory when counter driving. Previously, I had used a Donic Opticon 80 gram. This blade had a larger sweet spot, and weight was 85 grams. For looping, I had to spin with less power due to the blade and rubbers' considerable catapult effect. Balls popped off the blade quickly. It took approximately 8-10 hours of hard play to adjust to the feel of the blade. Pushes still go long when pushing deep to the middle. I will continue using this blade.

I haven’t used it long, but for the price, this combined with Donic Baracuda + Yasaka Razka 7 feels to be faster (and less forgiving) than my Yasaka Extra Offensive 7 Power with DHS Neo Hurricane III + Xiom Vega Europe. The combination also smashes much better, feeling like I can go without hesitation right to where I want it.

Very nice paddle! Recommend to all!

Excellent product, excellent service!

If you are currently using a 5-ply all-wood flexible blade and need more speed, you can go with this. If you are using a carbon blade and you want more feeling without using much speed, you can go with this. This is faster than a lot of 7-ply all-wood blades available in the market with great feel and dwell time. Works well with European rubbers, but if you want to use Chinese hard and tacky rubbers, you should go for something more flexible than this blade, because you might find this blade a bit stiff to use Chinese rubbers.

Over the last few years, I’ve tried several different blades. I used to play the Butterfly Innerforce ZLF, but decided to go back to all-wood blades because they tend to be lighter weight with more control. I found that I resorted to half strokes when using newer rubbers (Tenergy 05-FX or Evolution rubbers) on a carbon blade. After playing with the Nittaku Acoustic and Butterfly Primorac for a year or so, I decided to go with an all-wood blade that is slightly faster, but still has great control. I love this Tibhar blade. I’m using FX-P on both sides. I feel like it is a noticeable jump up from the others I have tried. I really like the speed and spin that I can generate with this blade combination. The sound is really nice too!

I chose this as my second blade, and I am very glad with the upgrade.

This 5-ply all wood blade is one of the best blades I have ever used! For so long I have used mostly blades with carbon in them, most of which I have enjoyed using, but using the TSPW has given me added control and touch. Like most have said about this blade, it is still a fast blade when needed. Paired with MXP on both sides, this is a great offensive blade with lots of touch, control, dwell, spin, and speed!

For the price of the item at the point/moment of purchase, I consider it a worthwhile buy. The feeling of the blade is good. Not too fast, but not slow either. Good control, good speed.

For this price range, this is one of the best offensive looping blades I have ever tried.

¡Gracias TableTennis11! Muy conforme con la madera.

This is a step up from my previous Nittaku blade. This has more speed and great shot control. Using MX-P on FH and Yasaka Valmo on BH. The weight is just right for offense.

Excellent

It provides good command over rallies. Whether you block or you attack, it is extremely controlled. Also, the handle provides a comfortable grip.

90g, big head. Big fl handle, good quality built. Good wood feeling. Nice click sound when smash. Loud wood sound compared to all my blades. This allwood blade is easy to use compared to alc or zlc. This wood has more flex, more vibration, which gives the feeling of controlling the ball. The performance is worth the price and quality. This is the blade that everyone should try, like pg7. I recommend it to everyone. If you don’t like this blade, just sell it; you’ll lose very little because it’s cheap.

Large head size: 159×152.

Good finish, little vibration due to thickness. Me prefer less than 6mm. However, the quality of this blade is undoubted.

My main blade is one of the best values in table tennis equipment. I purchased it for $35 with a discount and prefer it to any of my $150+ blades. The blade is constructed with Limba/Limba/Ayous and weighs 87g with a 6.2mm thickness. The head size is slightly larger than standard, catering to those who switch cut rubbers between blades.

The blade is head heavy, which enhances spin in serves, flicks, and loops. It shares similarities with the Xiom Offensive S and Butterfly Petr Korbel, but is slightly stiffer and faster. It offers excellent balance, control, and speed for a 5-ply wood blade. The speed can be placed at the higher end of Off- or the lower end of Off.

This blade is a versatile choice that can cater to most players. Beginners can utilize it with control rubbers, while experienced players can pair it with attacking rubbers to unlock its full potential. It provides a well-rounded combination of looping flexibility and directional control stiffness. For its fair price, it is highly recommended.

Great feeling with the bat and good speed. It feels like a good bat.

This is a no-nonsense racket. It plays very well, and no high-ranked player profits from it! The size is just right, and the edges touching your hand are very smooth. Excellent finish to this blade! This blade can be used from beginner to intermediate and above. Remember, it is mostly the person and technique. Timo Boll can beat many players with a $35 euro blade!

Good speed and control.

Well-designed blade.

Good

The best blade ever! I’ve been using it for a while now and I’ve not faced any problems. The speed is excellent and it has amazing control. The ball doesn’t slip at all! The grip is good and the racket will never slip from your hand. It’s good for attack as it has a lot of speed and is also good for defense as it has amazing control. I’d recommend this blade for all players who have experience for at least 1 year as they can hit proper shots. I use DONIC DESTO F4 rubber for forehand and STIGA AIROC M for backhand. This is an amazing combo. You can read it in my review of these rubbers.

Good service from TT11, excellent wood, very fast, with plenty of control and no vibration, a great choice for loops.

I bought this blade as a straight handle, and it weighs in at 88g. The packaging is great, and the blade’s look is fantastic. I didn’t have to sand the wings of the blade because it was already rounded and felt great in my hand. This is a great blade to develop your offensive techniques and skills. However, my only criticism is that the handle is a tad bit thick, but it isn’t a dealbreaker. It has great feedback, not much vibration. Lots of control for both touch and power shots, and a big sweet spot.

Отличное деревянное основание. В меру жесткое, в меру мягкое, с хорошим звонким отскоком, без вибраций, в общем чистый OFF, но я думаю, вполне подойдет и для более универсальной игры. Подойдет для большого количества разных накладок, кроме китаек. Очень удобная ручка, идеальный выбор для тех, кто не хочет связываться с тяжелой семислойкой. Качество в общем хорошее, но на ручке есть маленький заусенец, ранее все за это Stiga ругали, но вот Stiga у меня идеальная.

This blade is not too fast, offering a good dwell time. It is lightweight with a nice finish. Notably, the head of this blade is 1 cm longer than other blades, providing a unique playing experience. The handle features a comfortable grip, ensuring a secure hold.

Excellent all-wood blade. Mine weighs 90g, but it’s so well-balanced that it feels like playing with a much lighter 80g blade. I usually play with a composite blade and can tell you that it’s easy to adapt to this one due to its good speed. It’s definitely an off blade with very good throw and dwell time, making it great for loopers. It can actually perform everything pretty well, including chops. Highly recommended if you are considering a wood blade for modern offensive play.

Slightly oversize paddle with great flex and control. Mine was 85g, which I would recommend. It may not be super fast away from the table, but it offers excellent control.

The blade quality is awesome. With Nittaku Fastarc S1 and Xiom Omega V Europe, it has good control (for me it’s 9/10), it’s fast, but I’d prefer a little bit more kick, so it’s 8.8/10. Awesome sound: solid wood, not hollow. Dwell time is okay, no flex.

Muy buena, la verdad que sí. Un acierto. Ofrece mucho control desde lejos y potencia suficiente en el bloqueo. Perfecto para loops.

Not bad. Famous blade for beginners.

super

It is a very good blade for beginners; everything is just normal.

Enough speed and control.

Thank you! AAA+

This blade is good and controlled. It provides excellent control, allowing for precise placement of shots. The blade is slightly stiffer, which gives it a bit more power and speed. Overall, this is a great blade for players who want a good balance of control and power.

Really nice blade. Good service. DHS shipping was also very convenient.

Great blade for OX pips. You can bump, chop, and fast attack with this blade. Very high quality and the perfect fit for an OX all-around modern defender.

Awesome blade! It’ll do anything you want, from smashes and long heavy loops through spinny openings to short pushes and chops. Any error you may make in a game surely won’t be due to this blade. It just brought my game to the next level!

Pair SPW with medium-hard tensors and it will make miracles for you :) This is the most balanced blade I have ever played. It has the control of all-round blades (you can even chop with it), but its main strength is the ability to produce spin on power loops while keeping great control and accurate placement. It is like a much more controlled YEO or a super powerful YE. …Aand if you miss a loop, don’t blame the blade. Sure, it is your fault ;)

EDIT: If you want a powerful SPW, pick up a blade ~90 gr. Lighter ones miss the solid feel and some high-speed gears. My current SPW is 91 gr and it is a clear OFF blade. The heaviest one I tried was 95 gr and it was much, much faster than an ALC 84 gr.

It is a bit slow and has less power, but it offers excellent control.

Very good for beginners.

Очень хорошо сбалансированное основание.

A good blade; a bit too heavy for me, but you can try and ask for a certain weight. It’s a soft, average speed, good for topspin blade. It gave me blisters, but I could have avoided that by sanding the handle. Be smart, don’t forget to sand the handle.

Very good allwood blade. I had a previous lighter bat with weight less towards the head due to a lighter blade and rubbers. However, after a few training sessions, I accustomed myself to it. The 90g weight ensures better control and blocks, but it also excels in loops. From mid-distance, it has sufficient power with my Cornilleau rubbers. I have long fingers, and the handle is smooth and large enough for me. When I first saw it, I thought it looked small due to the oversized head. Simply a pleasure to play with it.

Speed: 8.8 Control: 9.5 Very good!!! Best FL handle!

Control, feeling, and speed. Very predictable. The best for its price!

All is good. Only one minus: too smooth handle. Uncomfortable for my hand. I bought ST.

This fast wooden blade gives perfect control. The response for the power you put on it is very linear and consistent, which is a great wooden feel.

Very cheap price, but performance is very, very good.

Power and control: almost the best item in my blade collection.

Strongly recommend blade.

This is an outstanding blade. It provides great control in the short game and delivers significant power when hit, even from a distance away from the table. Looping is exceptional, generating heavy topspin.

My fourth purchased blade, this one gives me more confidence when playing against my two rival players. I agree with all of the positive reviews about this blade. The only thing I dislike about it is the unusual round shape, but that’s just a personal preference.

This blade provides me with better defense and shot placement compared to my Yinhe T11+ blade, which offers better tempo control for fast play.

The blade has an all-around character, making it easy to attack and defend from short to medium distances. It is suitable for both looping and smashing styles. The high throw, combined with the blade’s power, makes looping easier and provides enough force for smashing (although it may not be sufficient to execute kill shots against advanced players unless you possess brute force or use a fast-bounce rubber and hit the ball in the optimal spot on the blade).

The blade offers excellent control for shot placement, allowing you to prioritize accuracy over power.

Blade: My blade weighed in at 84.2g, which is very ideal for me. This is my fourth blade and only anatomic style blade, which I like very much. Slightly larger head size: 158×152mm at 6.15mm thick. Good initial quality with the edges sanded from the factory. I’ve been playing the Powerwood for four days consecutively.

Power: When playing a normal rally, the power seems about 8.7 out of 10, but when you smash hard, it lacked the carbon backbone and speed of the fast blades that I have. I would say the overall speed is 8.5. Not very fast, but not slow either. However, it makes up for it with more spin in loops and a higher throw, and that was the main reason that I bought this blade. Blocking is very good when using harder rubber. I have Galaxy Moon Max (FH) + Vega Pro 2.0mm (BH); both sides are harder rubbers. TSPW blocks like a wall, very solid and good feel. I really like the solid feel compared to my other carbon blades, which feel somewhat numb and vibration-free. Vega Pro is a little too hard for this blade; I may want to try a medium-hard rubber next time. My friend also has this blade with an ST grip that I tried. He has Tibhar rubber + Barracuda, and his blade plays a lot nicer than mine. Overall, it’s a very good blade at an exceptionally good price.

TT11 service is excellent, people are very courteous. I mistakenly input the wrong mailing city, and the parcel was returned to the sender. TT11 sent me my order twice without charging me for the shipping. I really love the good price and service they provide here. This is my first purchase and there will be many more. I also told several of my club members about the website, and I’m sure they will love to do business as well.

I purchased this blade after reading its impressive 9.6 overall score. I specified a light anatomic blade and received an item weighing 84.2g. After applying a thin coat of polyurethane and two additional coats on the edges, its weight increased to 85.2g. I measured its thickness at 6.15mm. I equipped the blade with Vega Pro 2.0 on the forehand and Moon Max on the backhand.

The blade is constructed well, with its wings sanded smoothly. It has an attractive appearance that is even more pronounced in person. The anatomic blade fits comfortably in my palm, but the thumb rest is significantly smaller than the one on my friend’s ST blade.

Currently, my primary blade is the T-11+, and I also own the Primorac Carbon and PG-7. Among these blades, the Powerwood has the slowest speed by far. At less than 50% of my strength, its speed seems adequate. However, when I attempt to smash the ball forcefully, it fails to deliver any exceptional performance. The absence of carbon prevents it from providing a catapult effect. The PG-7, despite being rated at 9.0 speed, feels considerably faster than the Powerwood’s 8.9. The difference seems to be greater than 0.1 or 1%. The manufacturer has accurately classified the Powerwood as Offensive-, which is evident from its performance.

Even in the area of control, both the PG-7 and T-11+ surpass the Powerwood. While the Powerwood generates a higher trajectory, its slower speed is not compatible with my aggressive hitting style. It does produce more spin than the T-11+ and PC, but the PG-7 matches or exceeds its spin capabilities and outperforms it in looping.

If you are an all-around player who prefers proximity to the table and does not prioritize high speed, then this blade could be a suitable choice. However, for offensive attackers seeking a wood blade, pairing this blade with extremely fast and spin-oriented rubbers is essential. Alternatively, the PG-7 offers superior performance in all aspects compared to the Powerwood. The T-11+ also excels in speed, control, and weight, with the exception of spin and looping.

In summary, the Powerwood is a decent blade. However, I find the website’s 9.6 review to be inflated, leading to a degree of disappointment.

Very nice feeling, but too slow for my style of playing. Blocks and close to the table are very good. Anyway, very good quality for that price, and I recommend it for all-round/offensive players.

Good blade, very similar to BTY Primorac OFF-, but PowerWood is faster.

Bought it as a spare bat to my Mizutani and it came out as the main one.

Paired with Tibhar Evolution FX-P and MX-P, it gave me a whole new level of game. Better control, more spin, more power. Bigger handle needs time to get used to if changing grip constantly. Works better with softer FX-P rubber, at least for me. A friend of mine (pen-holder) tried the bat and he liked MX-P better, so it’s a matter of technique and preferences. It has a nice click. Overall, a great blade, especially for the price.

This is one of the best 5-ply blades you can get at a low price. Though it’s rated OFF-, it’s definitely not. It’s much faster than other all wood 5-ply blades. And works well for consistent looping and counter-lopping near the table and at medium distances. If you play far away, you will have to pair it with fast rubbers. The blade has some flex which is pleasant to feel and helps controlled looping.

You can as well smash which will be so brutal to hear & see. I play offensive forehand and hence i have paired TSPW with Tibhar 5Q and Mark V for the BH. The handle is very comfortable for even people with large hands. If you are looking for an all wood 5-ply blade (Limba-Limba-Ayous-Limba-Limba), this is definitely recommended…

The blade was too fast for me. I didn’t get any feel or control even though using 2.0mm and 1.8mm rubber.

Can’t believe how nice this blade is for the price. Fit and finish are outstanding. Edges all sanded from factory. FL handle is very comfortable size and shape. Blade feels very solid, is pretty fast, but still very manageable, even for a newer player like myself. Just a great deal from Tibhar and TT11.

The blade is ideal for loopers as it provides a long dwell time, resulting in exceptional spin generation.

Furthermore, the blade offers excellent control, allowing for precise and effective topspin shots.

I have used this blade with T05 for fh and T80 for bh and it has great feel when looping. Also, this blade works well with hard rubbers…. Therefore, I was thinking about the mx-p or powergrip on my fh. I love this product. I would say it is about as good as Timo Boll spirit for only 40 euro! This is a great product from Tibhar.

The best blade I ever used, very good control.

I have two such blades. For me, the handle is nice and very comfortable to use, and the blade is very balanced. It feels lighter than it is. The control and power are balanced and strong. I’ve also got Primorac Japan FL, and I like TSPW better.

Great blade, not quite as fast as I expected, though. I think it’s my rubbers. Great control, though.

Good speed considering an all wood blade. Good directional control. More stiff than my previous blade YE. The ball feel on the blade is nice. Good for loops and block / push too. The balance on my blade is at the tip of the handle. The handle is of anatomic type.

And lastly, very happy with the service I got from TT11. Queries were answered very fast. Delivery was within time. The blade was well assembled (bought rubbers as well), nicely taped. The delivery package also contained half a dozen TT balls and an extra edge tape. Have recommended to all my TT playing friends in India for quality product at good price with great service.

Good speed considering it’s an all-wood blade. It offers good directional control. The blade is stiffer than my previous YE blade. The feel of the ball on the blade is pleasant. It’s suitable for loops, blocks, and pushes. The balance of my blade is at the tip of the handle, which is of the anatomic type.

Excellent product for the money. All praise especially for the speed of delivery. pozdrav ko razumije

Lightweight blade with a lot of control and speed. Nice 5-ply OFF blade.

I’m very happy with this blade. All the shots come very well controlled thanks to its great and well-balanced dwell time. Anyway, when needed, you can hit the ball hard and get all the speed you may need for a winning shot.

This is a very good blade. It’s the best blade I’ve ever used. It offers very good control, more than I expected for the price.

This blade has a soft feel with relatively low flex. It performs exceptionally well when paired with Tensor and Tenergy rubbers, making it ideal for topspin play.

The blade’s head size is slightly larger than average, and its weight is approximately 90 grams. Additionally, the handle provides a comfortable grip.

This is an OFF or OFF- blade, really good for looping and actually pretty much for everything in every component of the game, whether close or far away from the table. I play with Rasant and Sigma Euro and this blade seems to get the best from both rubbers. It is definitely the best blade I’ve ever had.

This is an OF or OF blade combined with Xiom Vega Pro, which offers excellent speed and control. However, if you find the blade to be too fast or difficult to control, you can slightly adjust your playing style or technique.

Combined with Fastarc S1 and Rakza 7 Soft (both max), with FL handle, it is the best blade I have ever used.

Combined with Fastarc S1 max and Rakza7 Soft max, this blade is the best I have ever used.

Excellent blade!

I have played with several paddles as my game has evolved. By far, Power Wood is my favorite. It has good power and touch. The thing I love most about it is how big the sweet spot is; even balls hit off-center play the same. It’s an awesome paddle for several playing styles.

This high-quality, full-wood blade offers a superb touch and exceptional precision. Among wooden blades, it stands out as the top performer in its class. Its affordable price makes it an excellent value for money. When paired with two Andro Rasants 1.9 rubbers, it becomes an unbeatable combination. I highly recommend giving it a try.

FH: Hexer HD BH: Donic X2

This blade is unpopular in Hong Kong. I could only get one in China. This brand is very rare in the local market.

The speed is average compared to other 5-layer woods, such as Stiga Rosewood XO.

Control is very good because it can deliver the collision message clearly to the player. The player can sense and adjust the collision angle and power instantly.

This is a very nice blade for training.

The blade is heavier than 85g, probably closer to 90g. However, this is beneficial for loopers. It is an offensive blade with excellent feel, allowing you to sense the ball penetrating the blade with soft rubbers. It provides a solid feel during counterlooping. Flipping is effortless, and pushing presents no challenges. The handle is exceptionally comfortable. Honestly, I cannot identify any drawbacks with this blade.

It plays well with modern eur/jap rubbers. The only problem is, it is very fragile.

Good dwell time and has a comfortable handle. Speed is in the OFF- to OFF range. Blades with flared and anatomic handles have different balance. I prefer AN.

Wow! This blade is another surprise for me. I never knew you can buy good, cheap blades…

It has a fantastic handle, nice and big enough for my hand, and great control. I bought this for $30 USD—what a steal! I like this almost as much as my very expensive Nittaku blades.

Despite its relatively low price tag, this is an excellent blade for those who are intermediate players and looking for a fast 5-ply all-wood blade. Very good feel and excellent looping blade.

Updated June 12 (originally reviewed July 11).

This is a fantastic blade. I would rate it Off, but not Off+. I was amazed that it is not used by more people, given its very high ratings, which are fully justified. Compared to the Korbel, it is a superior version with much better balance, a thicker and more comfortable flared handle, and it is not head-heavy. This blade is excellent for offensive play, short games, and even chopping. This is because the head size is slightly above average at 158 x 151mm. Controlled brush looping close to the table or power looping away from the table are both easy with this blade. It is suitable with a wide range of rubbers. Simply pick the one you want for your preferred playstyle. It matches well with modern offensive rubbers. As an aggressive all-around/offensive player, I use mine with Omega IV Pro, Max FH, and 2.0 BH.

Best value for the price. Easy handling at short game, big dwell time for spin, and enough speed for smashes. Note that this blade is actually OFF, not OFF- as declared. It is the best Tibhar all-wood blade.

Very nice blade with plenty of dwell time for looping and a very good short game. I switched from XIOM Zetro Quad. The Powerwood has even more control. I play with Tibhar Aurus on FH and Stiga Boost TX on BH, a very nice combination.

It’s the first day that I use this blade along with Tibhar Genius Sound on both sides. This combination is absolutely the best I have ever used. This blade has great dwell time, great feeling, great speed and control. This blade can do literally everything. If you are looking for an offensive all-wood blade, I can’t see why you don’t go for it.

I have recently bought this blade with a combination of inverted rubbers (XIOM Vega Europe Max. on FH and Stiga Boost TS 2.0 on BH). It is a perfect combination for me, providing a good feeling. The blade is not very fast, but it is easy to make heavy topspins and other various offensive shots, even brutal smashes. It is very good for an elegant offensive style.

The dwell time is great, the weight is good, and the anatomic handle is pretty comfortable. I think it’s a good value for money.

Improved Korbel with stronger vibe and a more comfortable handle.

Identical rubbers play the same way on the TSPW and the Korbel.

Very good value for money.

Plays amazingly with softer rubbers, such as the Stiga Boost TC. The dwell time is great, and the speed is decent. Great for two-winged European style attackers.
