The Tibhar Samsonov Force Pro Black Edition FL (Flared handle) is a powerful, versatile offensive blade designed in collaboration with table tennis legend Vladimir Samsonov. Known for his precise, spin-oriented, and tactical style, Samsonov inspired the development of this blade to combine explosive attacking power with exceptional control. With its refined construction and elegant black design, this blade is a top choice for competitive players seeking professional-level performance.
The Samsonov Force Pro Black Edition is built with a 7-ply all-wood construction, carefully layered to maximize both speed and stability. The harder inner plies provide power and stiffness, while the slightly softer outer veneers add touch and flexibility. This unique composition creates a blade that is fast enough for aggressive attacks yet controlled enough for consistent placement and spin play.
Unlike composite blades that use carbon or synthetic fibers, the all-wood construction of the Black Edition delivers a classic, natural feel, giving players direct feedback and a traditional connection to the ball. The FL (Flared) handle provides comfort and security, designed to fit naturally into the hand for confident strokes in long, fast rallies.
The Tibhar Samsonov Force Pro Black Edition is tailored for advanced offensive players who value a balance of speed, spin, and control. It excels in:
Looping & Topspin: The flexible outer veneers allow for great dwell time, producing heavy topspin on both forehand and backhand loops.
Counter-Loops & Mid-Distance Play: With its 7-ply build, the blade provides power and stability for high-speed rallies from mid to far distance.
Smashes & Drives: Offers solid stiffness for powerful, direct shots that finish points with authority.
Blocking & Touch Game: The natural feedback of wood ensures precision and control in blocking, pushing, and serve returns.
Compared to lighter, softer blades, the Black Edition provides a firmer, more solid feel, giving players confidence when playing at high intensity. It is slightly faster than the Tibhar Stratus PowerWood, making it better suited for players who lean towards aggressive offensive play while still wanting strong touch in the short game.
