Szöcs Signature 1 vs. Samsonov Force Pro

[Manto76]

Is the Szöcs Signature 1 just a rebrand of the Samsonov Force Pro (Blue)? If not, is anyone able to comment on the differences?

There is some explanation of the difference in the PongProfessor review (video :

Some more "factual" comparison there by ttgearlab https://ttgearlab.com/2020/12/30/tibhar-bernadette-szocs-signature-1-overview-lab-test/

absolutely not, its much stiffer than the blue by a notch or two, its more similar to the force pro black

Thanks for this! I couldn't see any comparisons to the Force Pro Blue in these articles, only to the Force Pro Black. I may have just missed it, I'll read them again more carefully.
Thanks though!

Thanks MOG!
So the Blue sounds like it's closer to something like the SK7 then - is that right?

 

[MOG]

yes closer to sk7, more like a blade that is almost like a 5 ply wood, some stiffness but no where near in the category of szocs or force pro black
