Rapid Carbon (Tibhar)

This blade corresponds to the perfect union of the balsa core with the carbon: the result is an enormous playing sensation and lots of energy. The light weight of this blade confers a very good control during a varied block game, but thanks to the carbon layers, this blade possesses a high speed potential. This blade can be played in any situation without requiring a lot of power.

I just would like to agree with previous reviewers that this is an amazing blade with near to perfect combination of speed and control for an off+ blade. Mine is 79g and with medium soft rubbers the whole bat is weighting just 164g allowing fast movement of the hand in attack play. Good feel returning balls, works in any distance but best in a middle distance.

An amazing blade! excellent combination of speed and control!!! A huge sweet spot allows precise shots even if the ball strikes a peripheral area of the blade. Excellent craftsmanship. In fact it is the best carbon+balsa blade I have ever tried. It has more feel than donic's black devil and bty's x5 which is built with same concept. Slightly slower than black devil but the feedback is enormous for a balsa/carbon blade. I'm very disappointed that Tibhar has discontinued this model this year. I'd recommend this blade for a pure attacker who would like improve precision of the shots and loops.

One of the first carbon blades by Tibhar. It´s central ply is made of thick balsa, so we can state it´s a fast and also lightweight blade (about 80 grms). I recommended to seal it before, because of splinter would probably came out if you haven´t peeled off the rubbers during a lot time. Consider this is made of balsa core, so it´s a fragile paddle. It´s rather speedy, but not as other classical heavier blades. An affordable option if you what to try a fast carbon with some control and feeling.
