The offensive blade with the highest feel among the TIBHAR SUPER STRONG SERIES. This 9-ply offensive blade has power in any situation, but also an excellent ball-feedback thanks to its perfectly matched veneer combination. Thanks to the use of the high-end fabric made from a combination of carbon and Dyneema® fibres, ‚the world’s strongest fiber™’, the sweet spot is increased, vibrations are reduced to the minimum and the necessary stability and dynamic are kept. The fabric was placed close to the core, so that this FORTINO variant is perfectly suited to modern table tennis sports, enhancing speed, catapult reserves and the necessary control.
With pride we can say there is no other wood with this Setup currently on the market. A real innovation, a fibre-reinforced attack wood of the latest generation, consisting of 9 layers and still relatively light and with great touch – TIBHAR FORTINO suits the offensive game and puts the emphasis on punchy but controlled attacking games!TIBHAR FORTINO – some blades simply need to be tested!

Mine weighed 87.2g.
The feel is almost like pure wood, but it has solid bounce, good ball-holding, and a soft touch.
It felt like it holds the ball longer than the Clipper Wood.
Especially when paired with Evolution MX-P, I really felt that "grip and release" sensation strongly.
I got the FL grip, and it's on the thin side, which feels good.
I'd recommend this to people who normally don't get along with special-material blades.
Dyneema and Izanas are the same material, but compared to Darker's Solid Pro, this one felt like it holds the ball better and bounces more. The ply construction is different, so take this just as a reference point.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

I think a lot of people have gotten confused about this blade's thickness because the info out there is all over the place, but when I actually bought one and measured it myself, it came to 6.4mm. That puts it on the slightly thicker side, but the grip is on the thin side, so I think a lot of these run pretty light, at 78g in my case.
When I hit with it, my first impression was "soft." Maybe because balsa is used, but the center ply specifically feels unusually soft. That's not a bad thing though - it actually gives a really pleasant hitting feel.
The next thing I noticed was how high-pitched the sound is. Even with a 9-ply construction, it rings out with a cool metallic sound!
That said, the bounce on this blade is kept fairly restrained. Some people might find it a bit lacking.
Finally, this blade has the performance to satisfy a wide range of players from beginner to advanced, but I'd especially recommend it to beginners and intermediates. It can handle the full range of techniques, and it's a blade with a very high, well-balanced level of performance overall.
Also, since it's soft, I think it'll match with pretty much any rubber.
Definitely give it a try! (It looks really cool too, so I'm quite fond of it myself, haha.)Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft
