Tibhar Texo OFF

Very powerful offensive blade with incredible control. With this blade, I can loop with full power without losing any control. The short game is just great — flicks, pushes, and chops are very controllable. It is very secure when opening up both slow and fast loops. Generally, I am playing close to mid-distance, and this blade fits my style. I am using Tenergy80 on forehand and Tenergy64 on backhand. The more aggressive your game, the more control you need.

Description of Tibhar about the blade indicates a close-to-table playing style. However, I find its strength diminishes at mid-distance, classifying it more as an off- blade. Nevertheless, the control is exceptional, allowing for precise ball handling. The weight hovers around 88g, and the headsize measures approximately 156.5×150mm. As with most blades, the edges and handle require some sanding for a comfortable grip.

Wonderful spin game with this blade. Excellent topsins from both sides, great short game and block.

Little difficult to hit with. The surface has a tendency to bend (soft balsa inside) and has some kind of trampoline effect, so it needs to be precisely hit.

Overall, it is a very nice blade — let’s say in the Primorac off-speed level, maybe a tad faster.
