Excellent blade for people who want more control on backhand |
| I am using this blade for about a month and so far it is my favorite blade. I tried about ten other blades for last two and a half years. The backhand side is a bit slower by not much but it is noticeable. I used to have problems with other blades: 1 some were too fast on backhand - I overshoot by several centimeters too often with OFF/OFF- blades and 2 some were too slow on forehand, especially when I had to step back a little - I had to hit really hard with ALL/ALL+ blades. Now my problems are solved. If you have similar problems, then this blade is an excellent choice.
The rubbers I use: Butterfly Tenergy 05 of FH, Donic Acuda S3 on BH. I play allround type of game. |

How different are the sides? |
| @all: How do the sides play differently? Is the difference great? How is it for control?
Its because I am considering getting it.
Feedback is appreciated : |

Not a huge difference |
| OFF- for forehand, and ALL+ for backhand. The difference is not huge, just a little. It may be like the difference between having 2.0 or 1.8mm sponge, or the difference between having two different rubbers, with one rubber rated a little bit faster than the other. |

From Paddle Palace Re: Faster side and Slower side |
| The faster side of the Tibhar Samsonov Techno Power Contact blade is the side with the label on the handle. The slower side is the side with no label on the handle. If you look closely at the wood plies, you will also see that the faster side has a thicker ply of wood and the slower side has a thinner ply. |

which side is faster? |
| @Paddle palace
I just received my order of this paddle... I wanted to confirm which side is faster coz it doesnt say anywhere on the paddle or on the box.
Thanks! |
