TIBHAR selected high-quality wood types and combined them with a new generation of Kevlar carbon: the ideal prerequisite for an offensive but still controllable game. The carbon permits the needed hardness and stability in your strokes. Great playing sensation!

Yutchi @ cut Very carbon-like

This blade doesn't really feel like a carbon blade. Personally I don't like the feel of special-material blades, but I didn't dislike this one at all! It'll suit people who love wood blades. On the flip side, though, die-hard special-material users might find it lacking.

It doesn't feel like it flies too much, so it's really easy to handle. I have long pips on my backhand, and it stops well and is easy to deaden the ball with. I had a staff member at a table tennis venue in Shinjuku hit chops against my Stratus, and he said even when he swung hard the ball still landed on the table. It doesn't have that carbon-y feel, which is nice. Might be time to switch from my usual maple wood blade.

Homoko (Experience: 4〜5 years) A racket that sits between carbon and all-wood

This is the blade I'm currently using as my main racket.
Maybe it's because both sides are 2.1mm, but it bounces quite a bit. Carbon was new to me, so at first I struggled to hit with it, but now it's starting to feel like the wood blade I used before.
I think it's good for a first carbon blade, though it probably depends on the person (´◠`)
This blade feels like a well-balanced carbon setup where everything - spin and other basic performance plus that wood-like feel - has been carefully calculated.
From using it, spin-oriented tension rubbers didn't feel like a great match on the forehand.
As for the blade shape, it's pretty standard, the grip is a bit on the thin side but a bit long on the sides.
I'd say it's fairly suited to more experienced players. If you've used a wood blade before, shots come in easily with this one.
I used to struggle with blocking, but after switching to this blade I could hold back the power more, so I think it's a pretty all-around blade. Still, you can't get careless with it ( ゚_ゝ゚)ノOverall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

I don't think there are many carbon blades out there with control this good.
No joke, this is a really easy blade to use.
Of course, being a carbon material, you can still get plenty of speed and power on hard shots.
The feel on contact is close to wood, so it's really easy to hit with, and it should satisfy players from beginners up to upper-intermediate.
The feel is similar to VICTAS's Zexgear In or Fire Fall too. (This is just my personal impression.)
You won't regret buying this racket, so give it a try.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

It has carbon in it, but it's still a blade where you can fairly easily adjust the power of your shots up or down depending on how you control your speed.
