Customer review for Tibhar Samsonov Force Pro Black Edition

External Review for Tibhar Samsonov Force Pro Black Edition on February 6, 2020

First of all I found that this blade is not super fast but somewhere between Off- and Off. Also the dwell time is not fast but it gives you the time to create the spin you need. Probably it would be better (in terms of creating spin) if the second layer was limba and not ayus. The control is superb as you actually feel the exact contact point of the ball in the blade. It gives you plenty of information to correct your strokes and to improve your movements but also you can use it under the pressure of tournament matches. I found the handle is comfortable although for my standards I prefer it a little bit thicker, especially in the neck (I order the flare version and maybe the strait version is better). On the downside, I found it a little bit heavy as I pair it with two Donic Barracuda, so I can generate a little bit more spin.
I recommend this blade to intermediate players who wants to improve their movements or for players with a lot of time away from the table. With a Hurricane III rubber it would be the perfect blade for exercise.
Finally this is a blade which does not shine at anything but it does everything right.

Update: ok...I found out that the blade is really head heavy. I compared it with a FEXTRA with the same set up (Donic Baracuda on both sides ) and the sense I had was that the Force pro feels heavier when you top spin or chop. That makes the blade faster but you need to have stamina to execute continuous top spin strokes and it is more difficult to change from forehand to backhand and visa versa. In order to get the max from the blade you need to strengthen your arms and totally your body. If you don't, you will find out that the blade does not forgive errors. Just like Chinese rubbers. FYI do not put Chinese rubber to this blade unless you are a really advance player or pro.
