On the market there are innumerable offensive ping pong blades with Carbon reinforcements. So the question is: What is the difference between the new
Tibhar Fortino Force and most other blades?
For one thing, it is the
innovative fabric integrated into the Force (by the way, its weight is approx. 85 g), which is based on
Carbon and Dyneema®. On the other hand, the position of these synthetic fiber layers within the blade is quite unusual. They are placed directly on top of the core veneer. In contrast, Carbon is usually placed close to the outer plies in most other blades.
Due to this innovation, the Tibhar Fortino Force can keep up with many other attacking blades in terms of
penetrating power. This is a nice feature, and cannot necessarily be expected since the Force also exhibits a clearly improved control. The Carbon-Dyneema® fabric, however, not only positively influences the speed of the Fortino Force, but also causes a very even bounce behavior, and significantly reduces unpleasant vibrations.
The seven plies of the Fortino Force ping pong blade are harmoniously matched to each other, and cause a hard touch of the ball. This results in a
direct gaming behavior, easily enabling aggressive topspins and shots, as well as powerful blocks & counters (with much pressure). Although this blade has an impressive penetrating power, you can play even fast balls with good precision.
The
Tibhar Fortino Force is definitely a table tennis blade for uncompromising attackers, but it also provides sufficient control for more sensitive strokes with much feeling.
As a brief overview, you can see the individual products within the
Tibhar Fortino series below:
- Tibhar Fortino Performance: This blade is designed for a variable and offensive gaming style. The balanced behavior allows sensitive strokes with a good feedback and control, but also offensive strokes with good power.
- Tibhar Fortino Force: This ping pong blade is faster, harder and more direct than the Performance. Suitable for offensive strokes, but still fair control.
- Tibhar Fortino Pro: The fastest, most powerful, and most direct blade within the Fortino series. For uncompromising, aggressive and explosive attackers!
