Customer review for Tibhar Stratus Samsonov Carbon

External Review for Tibhar Stratus Samsonov Carbon on December 26, 2025

It is excellent offensive, nicely controlable blade. It is quite head heavy. It generates spin quite easily, but not as much as Stratus Power Wood. It is, however, harder and more disciplined than Stratus Power Wood. Being basically an inner carbon variation on Stratus Power Wood, it is less flexible and stiffer. The feeling is more direct, it is more disciplined, which means more control and lesser speed. On the other hand, if hit more heavily, the stroke is quite pervasive and strong. So there is immense power in such a stroke.
As someone wrote here, it has many gears, but not too many. And as was mentioned here too, its downside is relatively smaller sweet spot. Especialy in bh side, after hitting by outer sphere of the blade, one feels immediatelly in the hand that the stroke will be too long due to getting more catapult than normally.
It is en excellent blade for topspin oriented attacking game close to the table and in mid distance too. Flat hitting with the blade is perfect too since the carbon gives it tremendously pervasive power despite the blade is rated as a slower one among inner carbons.
