External Review for Tibhar Defense Plus on June 18, 2023

It has more than enough speed for amateur players with hard hybrid rubber. I find a lot of comments that this blade is too slow, but I disagree with speed rating(5), this blade in setup with hard rubber is from All+ to Off-. It speed could be part of consistency issue of this blade, but I agree that for an advanced player you should get more spin and speed to win a point, and you could get it using more body and legs to generate more power from those rubber. However, it could be hard to recover after a powerful shot, as a result you should plane your shot placement more careful and play more combination game IMHO.
I try to play Satoshi Aida style in defense with 2 inverted rubbers, and I like this combination with Yinhe Big Dipper Spin(tuned) on FH. I also try a few Chinese rubbers, and all of them work fine with this blade. For BH I tested few soft hybrid rubber(36-38* DHS gradation) but any of them not fully satisfy my.
In general, I really like this blade.
BTW st handle is really comfortable shape but too smooth for me and few times I was close to throw it in my trainer, so I started to use yinhe heat shrink tubing

External Review for Tibhar Defense Plus on March 16, 2017

This is an excellent defensive blade. Very light and hence highly manoeuvrable. It absorbs power so would suit a classic defender that relies on slowing down the opponent. Unlikely to win points through power shots or loop kills.
Highly recommended for those who use placement and deception to win a point.

Very nice confortable straight handle and excellent value.
