Tibhar Zodiac Libra ZAC
Blade description:
This composite blade features a 5+2 construction, utilizing a blend of green arylate-carbon and flexible fibers. Measuring approximately 5.9â6mm in thickness with an oversized head shape (159mm x 152mm), the blade is characterized by a head-heavy weight distribution. It provides a unique, crisp, and flexible feel that balances well between soft, touch-oriented short play and reliable power during harder strokes.
Performance Characteristics
- Feel and Feedback: Unlike many carbon blades, this model offers a distinct, wood-like tactile experience. It is highly regarded for its precision in the short game and blocking, providing a high level of feedback that allows for confident shot placement.
- Speed and Power: While not categorized as an ultra-fast blade, it features a broad gear range, allowing players to transition from controlled, spin-oriented loops to decisive smashes. The trajectory is relatively flat on high-impact shots, and the composite layers offer a significant power reserve when paired with firmer, max-thickness rubber.
- Playability: The blade is known for its balance, though the head-heavy nature may require adjustment in hand speed compared to lighter, more compact designs. It is particularly effective for players who prioritize variety and control over raw speed, performing best when paired with modern, high-tension hybrid rubbers.

Great on short game, balanced on blocking, inconsistent on attack, I felt. Nothing amazing for the price.

A blade that gets the job done. Really nothing too crazy in terms of control despite what I was expecting. With MX-D rubbers, there is a lot of power reserve and spin.

Blade is a bit head heavy, feeling is great, a bit harder feeling on powerful strokes than usual, does not hold ball for long, and ball bounces off the blade quite fast. Is good for block, but also good for topspin. Flexes not too much, but still you can feel it.
Innerforce, ALC/ZLC layer is great.
Blade is not thick (I would say even thin), and the feeling in short game is great.
With harder stroke, there is support from ZLC and enough speed; trajectory becomes flatter.
Blade is slower than Viscaria or Timo Boll. More for variety play rather than hard topspin. It is similar to Franziska from Butterfly, but with ALC there is more arc. My unit is 82g, and I asked for a lighter blade.
I can say that blade has many gears, from slow and soft to relatively fast.
Smash is also possible. But on harder stroke, you can feel that the blade is not thick, and there is a feeling of a hard thin blade.
