its stiffer than other looping blades. you can loop with it though but its more on loop drivers and also rubbers you use with it

Less powerfull than most 7 ply blades. It's thin and feels hollow.

Conic handles feels fine. I would rate a tiny faster than Korbel but always slower than any clipper

If your purpose is to loop with a tibhar blade buy a tibhar samsonov alpha old version grey handle 5 ply, it is a looping machine..

Are you sure about conic handle ? I didn't know the force pro was available with conic handle. Thought only Tibhar combaT was. Do you have one ? if so, please share pics. Thank you.

I´m 100% sure that CONIC handle it really exist on that model. It´s the only CONIC handle of all the blades manufacturated by Thibar, because it was requested by Vladie, once he had even issues on his vintage Mazunov.  A common friend of both,  which is a blade collector (he´s got more than 200 old blades) , invited Vladi to his home to get some stuff to e´jing, so  Vladi felt in love with old stiga conic handle model, and  then asked Thibar  to copy it on  SFP Wink.

I you don´t find it, you can order it the shops he owns here, vsport.es

Hope it helps. :)

review donic M2

Donic's new Bluefire is a completely new rubber development offering top speed. A new high-tech generation of rubbers in the proven Formula FD3-technology has been developed as a result of the perfect combination of the large pored blue sponge with an extremely spinny top surface rubber. The top rubber with its small, long pimpled-in structure lends the rubber the best possible flexibility and sensational feeling. Above all, the Bluefire is unbelievably fast with a characteristic high arc when top-spinning that enables maximum spin and increased speed.

Speed: 90 
Spin: 107 
Control: 77

Can't be more accurate :



The handle is almost identical to Kjell Johansson. A bit longer (10cm iso 9.8). Seller confirmed that it is the very blade of Vladi with same conic handle. Mine is very light 84gr.
Thank you for the tip.

since the construction is similar to Joola Viva, they are both 7ply, limba outer, I am wondering if anyone here played with both and what is the difference between the 2 of them?

Very good blade ! One of the fastest 7 ply blades I've had. High throw, soft touch, medium stiff. Doesn't feel very solid. I suspect the handle to be hollow. Not sure thow. Excellent balance. I suppose Vladi found there something as fast as Mazunov with better handle and lighter weight.  Could only play 10mm before elbow pain came back. Not sure it is same construction as Joola Viva cause plies 3 and 5 very much look like balsa to me. Might be wrong there as well.

why ...why on earth we get bogged by total weight of blade????? 

Why... why on earth equipment manufacturers make the handle hollow, to reduce overall weight and please us??????

Why ..... why on earth we buy those blades and use todays heavy rubbers, completely destroying the already messed up balance....????????

Why .... why the shoulder pains come back ?????

Please don't take this review too seriously because, as mentioned, I only hit the ball 10 minutes and noone can pretend making a relevant review in 10 minutes.
I only throw few quick impressions there because this blade was discussed about before. The blade has been fully and nicely described by Yogi bear before and you should stick to what he said better.
I'm really not sure about the hollowness of handle, it's just a guess.

Some say its slower than Clipper, would you agree with this?


Posted By: Jolan
Date Posted: 01/27/2013 at 9:27am
There are clippers and clippers...Force pro felt much faster to me than the last 87gr 2011 new clipper I purchased. Also faster than 2005 CR/WRB 82gr. But slower than oversize WRB reduced to normal size.93gr. Speed looked the same to me than DHS PG7 92gr. In other words, force pro is the fastest light 7 ply clipper-like I've had.

Hello together, it took almost one month and a half but now I got my new Samsonov Force Pro conic. I'm looking forward to do the first test with the blade. I have already the ST grip at home and the feeling with the blade is good. I played with tenergy05 on it. First I have to seal the blade.

Evolution MX-P both sides I think.


Posted By: slevin
Date Posted: 02/06/2015 at 10:24am
I tried this blade (87g FL) with MX-P on both sides.

First, MX-P goes like a dream with this blade. Overall, it is very good all-wood.

However, this blade seems to have a hollow handle that isn't too long / large. So, it is very head-heavy, especially with MX-Ps on it.

I'd have to have the BH-Man mod done on this to be able to use it.

Interesting.  I felt like the flared handle on the Tibhar Stratus Powerwood was one of the most comfortable I had ever tried and certainly not very hollow.  Unfortunate they abandoned that for the force pro.

The flare handle for the Samsonove force pro is one of the most comfortable I have ever used.  The hollowness I have heard about from people but never felt it myself.  I do want to try the black edition and will get that once Paddle Palace stocks it.

 I felt that way about Stratus Powerwood too.  I still prefer Butterfly ALC blades overall, but if I were to use all wood, that's what I wold use.

Looking at the footage of Vladi vs Steger at the Euro Top 16 today, it looks like Vladi is using the Black Edition handle now.

I'm curious if anyone can identify what the 7 plies of the Black Edition are. I have not been able to track down the info. All I've been able to find is the short marketing blurb about it being the "little brother" of the Force Pro. Does that mean it is identical except for the handle color? Those that have hit with it seem to think it plays somewhat differently.
