Tibhar Allround Premium Carbon

Tibhar Allround Premium Carbon - What you should know about it

The table tennis equipment within the Allround segment appeals to most table tennis players. For amateur athletes, the focus lies on control when it comes to playing characteristics. Interestingly, there are a lot of new releases of equipment that address offensive players, but are unfortunately unsuitable for allround players. And whenever allrounders seek to add more offensive potential to their game, they have to turn to very expensive and mostly too fast carbon blades or fast, heavy all-wood blades, which, however, are not suited for their own game. With the Tibhar Allround Premium Carbon exactly this void was closed.

In addition, not every allround player wants to play with a all-wooden blade. This can have several reasons. One could be that some dislike the strong vibrations of a thin blade. In addition, allrounders tend to prefer softer rubbers due to their better control. But in combination with an allround blade, this can lead to a strong catapult effect and also simply produces a too soft feeling. Even ambitious players who love the touch and control of a slower blade, but at the same time want to play with faster rubbers, do not always find the perfect combination.

Based on the Allround Premium, various veneer compositions were bonded and tested together with a very thin carbon layer. By slightly adjusting the veneers, it was possible to maintain the outstanding allround performance. But at the same time we could integrate the advantages of a carbon blade. The Allround Premium Carbon offers the touch and control of an allround all-wooden blade, but is more stable and possesses less vibrations due to the inner-layer carbon. It performs extremely well in the passive play, but offers more speed and acceleration potential in the attacking play than classic allround blades.

In combination with soft tensor rubbers, more power can be built up without any loss of control. The soft rubbers appear much more dangerous and dynamic. There are fewer vibrations present. The Tibhar Allround Premium Carbon therefore offers great advantages for the modern allround game.

Playing characteristics of the Tibhar Allround Premium Carbon

A very compact feeling is apparent on counter strokes. The TAPC allows allows the ball to be directed very precisely. The moderate basic tempo, the soft touch of the outer veneer and the stability of the carbon layer offer extreme reliability. Particularly passive blocks can be played very low and at the same time very safely to the opponent's side of the table. But also active blocks and controlled strokes are easily playable.

The Allround Premium Carbon is very variable during topspin play. Safe spin strokes possess good rotation and decent speed. The direct touch during fast stroke execution, however, also allows firmer attacking strokes. By a fast arm movement pressure on the opponent can be built up. Both beginners, as well as experienced allrounders, can utilize the potential of the blade depending on their own playing strength. Due to the high level of control, long rallies can be successfully performed.

For demanding strokes such as counter topspins or play from half distance, the Tibhar Allround Premium Carbon has enough speed reserves to become dangerous to the opponent. Especially the direct, compact feeling makes hard-hitting shots possible.

There is a lot of stability on serves. Serves can be placed simply and easily. With returns the blade compensates for many errors. Nevertheless, it is possible to operate more accurately than with a standard all-wood blade. There is no disturbing self-catapult present.

For which types of players is the Tibhar Allround Premium Carbon recommended?

The TAPC appeals to all players who are looking for a controlled, compact carbon blade. Especially those who consider all-wood blades as being too soft and catapult-like, but can't handle a fast carbon blade, will find the right table tennis blade with the Allround Premium Carbon. The combination of ball security, moderate speed and directness is hard to find on the table tennis market. The smoothness with which the blade can be played and the quick adaptation to the outstanding playing characteristics speak for themselves.

With which rubbers should the Allround Premium Carbon be combined?

We recommend the blade in combination with soft, medium soft or medium tensor rubbers, which have a decent catapult effect. The best example is the table tennis racket Aurus Carbon offered by us. Together with the spinny and controlled Tibhar Aurus Soft rubbers, a modern allround game or moderate spin game can be put on. With this or a similar racket, the blade is at its best.

Classic rubbers can also be used with the Allround Premium Carbon without any problems. The blade provides enough speed reserves to not let the overall racket become too slow. Advanced beginners or allrounders who want more stability in their game will like this blade-rubber combination.

Even harder tensors, especially the spin-heavy rubbers, offer a good interaction with the allround carbon blade. While the rubbers bring the right mix of spin and speed, the blade supports the safe spin game with its stability and control. On the other hand, those who like it faster and focus on aggressive offensive play will do better with a faster blade.
