Ownage Table Tennis's Tibhar Actium Review

Hey Guys!
Thanks to Nexy I got the chance to review their awesome new Tibhar blade, Actium and a free 3 star 40+ ball. (The ball was used in this test, picture below)

I am an offensive player and I know this blade is men't for defensive players, that is the reason I wanted to test this blade out.

Before the review here is a link to Nexy's website for awesome equipment. http://nexy.com/shop/
So lets start the review,
Firstly, Tibhar really took their time to sand the edges as you can see in the following picture the edges are very smooth.

Secondly, the blade head is bigger than DHS blades witch would help people like me that can't aim... :p
These were the rubbers used for the review.

Forehand to forehand exercise, the forehand side is going to be obviously faster as this is a 9-ply blade. The forehand was controllable and fast. I like the way that it is not too fast like a Hurricane Long 3.
Backhand to backhand exercise, the backhand side is slow and very controllable. As an offensive play, this slower side helps me when I am forced to lob and then when I have the chance I attack.
This is my first blade review so, if I missed out somethings please point it out kindly and I would answer your question ASAP.

Thanks for reading!!!!!

Maybe player would like to know how the BH works on short receives, counterloops, hits, and the occasional chop...

Looks like you are the first to review and I like the Nexy ball, very consistent one piece ball.

Yes thankyou for that Will.
How does the bh side works on 2nd ball chiquita (banana flick) and countertopspin near the table using a tenergy rubber?

Hey guys,
So the on the backhand I don't counterloop too often as I like to go all out attack on the forehand, but counterlooping was very spiny as it is slower. Banana flicks were easy (Not sure if it is just me...) and the Dual-Speed was pretty noticeable IMO because I am very used to both sides same speed but, now with Duel-Speed I had to adapt to it and finally far from the table was easy on the forehand but, I had to put some extra power on the backhand as it is slower.

Thanks for reading my review guys!
