Tibhar Balsa Fibretec 75
An extra light blade, the Balsa Fibretec 75 from Tibhar is perfectly suited to aggressive offensive rallies. Its 7.5mm thick Balsa core provides high speed and an enormous potency.

Reviews of Tibhar Balsa Fibretec 75 (1)
I'll write this review in my native language, nowadays there are excellent automatic translators...
Several considerations:
- Speed and control ratings on other reviews and other woods are a matter of sheer nonsense. It's extremely difficult to rely on ratings in these conditions.
- Additional characteristics such as number of plies, thickness (important) and the balance point of the wood would be welcome.
- It would be welcome from the authors of reviews to systematically specify which sheets they used
On the wood itself:
- The weight of this wood is in the order of 70-75g, not 60.
- It's a fairly thick wood (9.3mm) and it surprises at first...
- ... And since it's balsa, it's also a very resonant wood. A huge "POC" when you play. Personally, I love it!
For context, I'm a very offensive player who likes light woods, I played very young with a Tibhar Patrick Chila (+Speedy Spin/Black Techno 1.8) then, more recently with a Tibhar Rapid Carbon Light (+2 Rakza 7 2mm). I wanted at one point to have a racket just as light but a little less demanding than the Rapid Carbon Light and turned to the Fibretec 75 which is a little less nervous.
In short, I used the Fibretec 75 for 1 year with Xiom Vega Japan 2mm mounted on each side and here's what I noted:
- The wood is very pleasant to play. It vibrates a lot and I like this sensation. Very pleasant resonance too.
- Bet kept compared to Rapid Carbon Light: much more control
- Bet also kept compared to Chila: significantly more dynamic, you can hit hard at the table, and mid-distance.
That said:
- The build quality needs review: after 2 weeks, the "Fibretec 75" inscriptions will be erased by your sweat.
- After a year, an outer ply cracked over 3-4 cm... Fragile wood, so.
