The Tibhar Triple Carbon blade is designed for serious table tennis players seeking to elevate their game with its exceptional speed and power. Constructed with a unique composition of 8 plies, this blade combines traditional wood with advanced carbon layers, resulting in a structure that maximally enhances ball acceleration and power during play. Its impressive 7.0 mm thickness contributes to its robust performance, enabling aggressive strokes and swift ball responses.
Weighing in at 98 grams, the Tibhar Triple Carbon offers a medium to heavy feel, making it potentially less suitable for beginners but ideal for experienced players who can harness its capabilities. The blade delivers a staggering speed rating of 10, ensuring it excels in offensive play, while its control rating at 4 indicates a steeper learning curve for players who prefer finesse in their shots. The stiffness of the blade stands at 6.5, providing a solid firm touch that some players find difficult when looping with faster rubbers.
In terms of alternatives, players may consider other blades that emphasize speed, like the Butterfly Viscaria or the Stiga Carbonado series, which also offer a balance between power and control. However, if your focus leans towards fast, aggressive play, the Tibhar Triple Carbon remains a top choice. Players recommend pairing it with softer rubbers like Tibhar Aurus or Donic Coppa for better control, although it’s crucial to note that broader strokes at the table can often lead to longer balls, emphasizing the need for precision and timing.
I’ve been using this blade as my primary setup for the past week, and I’m surprised by how lightweight it feels. I paired it with a Tibhar Hybrid K3 on my forehand and a Nittaku Fastarc G1 on my backhand.
The combination generates incredible spin and speed when power is applied. It performs more like a Chinese-style blade, where the carbon activates with the player’s effort.
Before purchasing, I was concerned about a lack of control. However, I can still play my usual aggressive spin-oriented game, but with significantly improved power and speed.
Top blade. I tested this blade with rubber Andro Rasanter R37 ultramax. I bought the blade for 19 € at tabletennisshop.eu.
YINHE APOLLO + REACH C-7 (LP)
This blade is super fast and makes it easy to break balls. However, it is slightly heavy, so it is important not to use too much force when controlling the ball. The handle is also larger than average. The weight of the blade is 161g. It is a speed-dedicated blade, so it may be necessary to adjust your technique slightly to get the best results.
