There are three new blades by Tibhar, each one interesting on its own, bound together by use of the Dyneema fibre. Dyneema is a very strong but also light material that enables to build carbon/fibre blades without making them too heavy from the start.
Fortino Performance offers maximum control with good speed. It is a 7+2 construction (yes, 9ply) with balsa core. Over and at the able very good feeling, lacks a bit of power from mid-distance but most amateur players don´t engage in many topspin/topspin rallies anyway
Fortino Forte is a very fast offensive blade that feels much more direct than the Performance version. The emphasis here is on power, and I see it for a speed-oriented game.
Fortino Pro is a made in Germany blade with Limba outer veneer. It offers very good touch, but at a price tag of around 200 Euro it will face stiff competition by anything similar from Butterfly. At that price, not one that you try out casually, but actually rewarding. Personally, I find it has slightly better touch than a Boll ALC of the same weight and is just not as fast by a margin. Can´t compare to any Innerforce etc. though.
