Reviews of Tibhar Bernadette Szocs Signature 1 (6)
It's a good example of a blade that will grow with you, it can be used by a beginner as well as an advanced player, because it's very versatile: add a slow rubber and you get a control monster, add a fast rubber and you can compete with high level players without issues.
My favorite pairing is with Vega Europe 1.8 when I play ALL (training), it's consistent with a large window, all my shots magically finish on the table. But any faster Vega or Omega will push you to the OFF side.
I mention especially Xiom because the blade looks totally gorgeous with a black sponge (and no band), the striped pattern matches the handle and it looks cool (for those who value the look beside performance, it's a winner). Another good (and beautiful) combo is with Victas Triple Extra, that way you have a Chinese, HL3+H3 feeling but a bit slower and more controllable. A fast option I enjoyed is Hammond Z2. But I didn't like it with MX-P (too fast and heavy to my taste).
Construction is excellent considering the price point.
Handle (I use AN) is on the large side, which is perfect for my large hands but my 11 years old son likes it too. Actually he likes it so much he even stole that blade from me...
Think Tibhar Samsonov Force Pro Black Edition (TSFPBE), but slower, and with better control.
For local league players or developer players who find TSFPBE, Clipper CR, or carbon blades too quick/ too hard.
The ST handle is squared and very filling. People with big hands should like this.
