First of all - sorry for my poor english.

I want to share impressions from the blades that I've tried.
I am trying to play in modern defence style, attacking on FH: Xiom Omega V Europe 2.1 mm, defence on BH Tibhar Grass D.TecS 0.5 mm long pips.

My lavel of playing? I take private lessons with a coach of the national girls-cadet team and I win 2-5 points per game (set) with him.

Official blade's stats:

1) Tibhar Stratus Power Defence
# Manufacturer stats
Speed 6.2
Control 10
DEF+ (marked ALL on Tibhar.su)

2) Donic Alligator Combi
# Manufacturer stats

Control ?
ALL-


3) Tibhar Techno Power Contact
# Manufacturer stats
Speed 6.3
Control 8.4
OFF-/All+ (marked ALL on Tibhar.su)


My impression:

1) Tibhar Stratus Power Defence

The fastest of the three.
Speed 6.9
Control 6
ALL+


Played almost 1 year. Good for attacking, but too fast for me at BH - can't block or strike, no control. Switched to Donic.

2) Donic Alligator Combi

The slowest of the three.
Speed 4
Control 9
DEF+


Played 2 weeks. Very good control, absolutely amazing in defence, but too slow for attacking (for me). Switched to TP Contact.

3) Tibhar Techno Power Contact

The most balanced of the three.
Speed 6.5
Control 7
ALL/ALL-


Played 3 months. Exactly what I wanted. Enough power in attacking, serial loops, etc, enough control in defence, even for my poor skills, can chop, can block, can strike from BH.
So, currently its my choice.

Note! In all official sources Power Defence is slower and more control than TP Contact, but my experience the opposite.
