Samsonov Premium Contact (Tibhar)

Vladimir Samsonov did a lot of testing when he put together this plywood layer combination with a newly designed blade shape and the new 'contact grip system' to produce a perfectly balanced, slightly swinging attacking blade. This blade gives the feeling of absolute control and speed needed for the succesful attacking game.

The tibhar samsonov premium contact is a very good frame,
It has all the gears from good control to good attacking play, its is very well balanced and an exelent blade for blocking and placing the ball because the feeling is very well.
looping is also great with this blade, it is very flexible, A good blade to start with for beginners but also for more advanced players with faster rubbers i think this blade is better thand the tibhar premium alpha,

Maybe the most popular pure wood blade by tibhar. It has an excellent balance between speed and control, and will work well with most of mid-soft rubbers. It´s medium speed (off-) and medium feeling; weightis also in the average of these OFF-, about in its 85 grm. However wood quality is not as good as we could expect, if we are used to reglue we´ll earlier or lately have problems with splinters. Nevertheless we can´t demand too much for it´s price : it worths it by far.

Suitable from beginners to experienced agresive allround players which require a great amount of control.
