Review: Tibhar Dynamic J7 Darko Jorgić

    If you are a regular reader of this blog, you know that I am a fan of 7-ply all-wood blades. The Tibhar Samsonov Force Pro Black Edition (SFPBE) has been my main competition blade for several years, and recently I took a liking to the Tibhar Bernadette Szocs Signature 1 (BSS1). I was, therefore, excited to note the release of yet another 7-ply all-wood Tibhar blade, i.e., the Tibhar Dynamic J7 Darko Jorgić. The blade is named after Darko Jorgić, the top Slovenian table tennis player who has an incredible, Kreanga-like, backhand.
