Tibhar Force Pro Special Edition

Good blade. Different SP used on BH and G1 on FH. Comfortable looping on FH when training, feels like it can be done all day. The same with blocking - the blocks are not too fast but can be directed wherever desired. Short pips play well on BH. Anatomical handle is slimmer than the SFPBE and sits well in a medium-sized hand. In comparison to the SFPBE, the blade is slower, softer, and more controllable.

Best for looping, driving, and smashing. When paired with Nittaku Fastarc G1, it becomes an awesome looping machine.

This has become my go-to blade as a long pips (LP) player who wants to use my forehand (FH). It gives the best combination of control with my LP without a sponge or with 0.5 mm sponge combined with good attacking inverted properties. It is a little more controlled than my prior favorite 7-ply wood, Yasaka’s Falck W7. The straight handle is good for me. Balls that go long off my LP blocks with the Falck W7 are now on the table. My FH blocks off my opponent’s loops stay on the table, yet my attack shots seem to have similar effectiveness. I’m super pumped about this blade.

Paired it with Glayzer 09C and I clicked immediately with the blade. It offers very good control and confidence to swing. I was playing with Timo Boll ALC and it was kind of fast for me.

My main blade for the moment and plan to stick with it.

Thanks.

The handle is small and nice to hold. However, the blade lacks power compared to the normal edition. I’m not sure if it has to do with the shift in the center of gravity.

This 7-ply wood blade has great control (I use LP on my backhand) and good enough speed for my game. It is not super fast, so for someone wanting to hit screaming winners past all your opponents, look at a carbon blade. That said, it plays well close to the table and from mid-distance. Good quality. Slower than Yasaka Falck W7. Does not have high flex. I have two and they play the same.

I’ve had the opportunity to try out the exclusive TableTennis11 edition based on the beloved Force Pro Black Edition, and I must say I’m impressed. The new slimmer and lighter handle is truly remarkable. Not only does it fit comfortably in the palm of my hand, but it has also improved the balance of the blade by redistributing it closer to the head. This has resulted in a significant increase in spin and feel when striking the ball.

What I really love about this blade is its Viscaria-style handle. The comfort it provides is exceptional, and it truly feels like it’s designed to perfectly adapt to my palm. Although it’s a 7-ply blade, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it’s more control-oriented than pure speed. However, that doesn’t mean it falls short on power. In fact, it generates good spin and grip, allowing me to easily perform offensive topspins with my forehand.

The overall feel of this blade is smooth, with good dwell time on the table. This is ideal for precise ball placement, as I can control the direction and spin of the ball with great accuracy. Additionally, it provides excellent control in the short game and blocking, giving me confidence in tactical gameplay situations. Despite its lightweight, the blade remains stable and doesn’t experience any annoying vibrations that could affect my stroke.

It is an attractive option for players seeking controlled power. Not only does it offer versatile handling, but it also comes at an incredibly accessible price. In my opinion, it’s a true hidden gem in the world of table tennis blades and I would highly recommend it to any player looking to enhance their game with a high-quality blade.

The handle of this table tennis paddle reminds me of Viscaria and fits very well in my palm. The improved feeling during gameplay is noticeable.

I was expecting more speed from a 7-ply blade. It seems more control-oriented.

This paddle is not suitable for executing topspins, as it is more geared towards flat hitters. Those who prefer topspin play should consider looking into other options, such as the Stiga Clipper, which offers superior control and a better feel.

I’ve got the Samsonov Pro Black Edition. It’s a good bat, but the ANAT handle is a bit bulky. This special edition has very similar characteristics, but with a slimmer handle. I pair it with R48 on the bh side, and it suits me well.

Good product, only the packaging is very primitive.

I have enjoyed playing with this blade for 10 months. Below are my observations.

I have a light blade weighing approximately 79g as per my request. It is thinner than the Ludeack, which was reported to be 6.5mm. The Black edition was reported to be 6.6 and 6.7mm. I am unsure if the Special edition is normally thinner than the Black, or if it is due to batch-to-batch variation or if I have a thick Ludeack. The handle is very comfortable, possibly the most comfortable out of the approximately 15 blades I’ve tried. I like to adjust my grip during play and the handle allows for an effortless transition.

In some sense, I consider this blade to be somewhere in-between typical 5- and 7-ply blades because it is thin and light despite being 7-ply. It is not a topspin monster like some 5-ply blades but executing FH topspin is very easy. The ball placement is superb. For BH topspin, I don’t recommend rubber with low throw because the blade is low-throw already.

The blade feels very soft and has good dwell. It is very easy to keep the ball low during the short game and easy to block with. Even though it is very light, it feels steady during play. I don’t feel any strange vibrations that I get from several 5-ply blades, yet, I can really feel the ball. In summary, an excellent OFF- blade that can do it all. I can’t believe that the price is so low but I can live with that!

Very good design. The Superb FL handle is exactly like the Viscaria, facilitating both backhand and forehand strokes. Good dwell time and good feeling. Easy to spin the ball.
