Customer review for Tibhar Samsonov Alpha

External Review for Tibhar Samsonov Alpha on July 25, 2012

One of the all-time classic 5-ply looper's blades. Does most things well, and pairs with most rubbers. If you want a simple, cheap 5-ply blade, then this is a great choice.

It's good in most areas, with no obvious issues apart from a lack of speed away from the table. Although it doesn't excel in any particular way, not having a real weakness is something to celebrate, and makes it better than the sum of its parts.

This year has seen a revised model of the Sammy Alpha, and it has a normal head size. This helps if you're changing rubbers between blades a lot.
