Reviews of Tibhar Defense Plus (2)

It has more than enough speed for amateur players with hard hybrid rubber. I find a lot of comments that this blade is too slow, but I disagree with speed rating(5), this blade in setup with hard rubber is from All+ to Off-. It speed could be part of consistency issue of this blade, but I agree that for an advanced player you should get more spin and speed to win a point, and you could get it using more body and legs to generate more power from those rubber. However, it could be hard to recover after a powerful shot, as a result you should plane your shot placement more careful and play more combination game IMHO.
I try to play Satoshi Aida style in defense with 2 inverted rubbers, and I like this combination with Yinhe Big Dipper Spin(tuned) on FH. I also try a few Chinese rubbers, and all of them work fine with this blade. For BH I tested few soft hybrid rubber(36-38* DHS gradation) but any of them not fully satisfy my.
In general, I really like this blade.
BTW st handle is really comfortable shape but too smooth for me and few times I was close to throw it in my trainer, so I started to use yinhe heat shrink tubing

This is an excellent defensive blade. Very light and hence highly manoeuvrable. It absorbs power so would suit a classic defender that relies on slowing down the opponent. Unlikely to win points through power shots or loop kills.
Highly recommended for those who use placement and deception to win a point.

Very nice confortable straight handle and excellent value.
