Blade Suggestion for 2x Tibhar FX-P

This user has no status.
Hi, I am planning to use FX-P on both bh and fh. I think I am not ready for rubbers like MX-P or Tenergy. I am trying to make a combo for "controlled offense". I consider tibhar samsonov premium contact, tibhar lebesson, tibhar samsonov force pro black (I actually heard very good things about this blade but I’m unsure if a 7-ply blade will be too fast and whether it will pair well with the FX-P, so I’m hesitant.)
Thanks

If you want a rock-solid combination go for Lebesson or Samsonov alpha. They will work their way up with you to different rubbers if you want to make the step some day.

The Force pro blades are quite fast, yet offer good control. But that said, it´s always control in relation to the speed. There are also very slow blades with shitty control, they´re just slow, and that often gets mixed up ;-)

Anyway, if the Lebesson appeals to you, go for it. It´s cheap and it works well.

Usually people have blade and looking for rubbers for the blade
Yeah but my first combo is the one of cheapest so I am trying to build a solid racket then I might also look for some rubbers for my blade in the future. Some guides say "equipments dont change much", "racket wont play for you" and then I read some reviews of rubbers and blades and think like equipment is everything... cant exactly know what to do but I dont want to spend too much money on changing equipments often so I just want to get something solid...

The truth, as often in this life, lies somewhere in the middle.

This. Decent quality equipment suitable for allround to light offensive play can last most players their entire life. Maybe one or two rubber upgrades over the years but that's really plenty for 99% of amateur players.
I played with someone last week that played national levels as a junior and is now in his late twenties - I told him he's still using a junior bat (Waldner youngster) :LOL: but you know what? He still brought plenty of quality to the table.
There's still a few world class players playing 5ply wood, so until you hit international levels having a beginner blade is just not an excuse or a problem.

Just play what feels good.
