Our expert analysis of this blade's performance characteristics

Speed
8.4

Furious delivers good speed suitable for offensive play, rated in the OFF- category. It provides sufficient power for aggressive topspin and attacking shots from mid-distance, making it effective for players who like to dictate rallies. While it doesn't match the explosive pace of carbon blades, its all-wood construction offers a more controlled and predictable acceleration that many players find ideal for consistent attacking.

Control
8.9

Control is where this blade truly excels. Players report outstanding feel and precision, allowing for accurate ball placement and stable performance during fast exchanges. The excellent feedback enables sensitive strokes and reliable touch shots, making it easier to execute a varied offensive game. This high level of control gives players confidence to play aggressively while maintaining consistency in their rallies.

Feel
Medium-Hard

The blade delivers a medium-hard feel that provides clear feedback without being overly harsh. This allows players to sense ball contact effectively for controlling placement and spin, while still feeling solid and direct on powerful shots. The sensation is crisp yet communicative, ideal for players who want to feel connected to their strokes.

Throw Angle
Medium-High
LowMedium-HighHigh

The blade produces a medium-high throw angle that works well for generating high-arc topspin shots. This trajectory helps clear the net comfortably while allowing players to impart heavy spin, making it particularly effective for loop-oriented attacking play.

Dwell Time
7.0

The 7-ply wood construction creates moderate dwell time that helps with spin generation and ball control. This slightly extended contact contributes to the blade's excellent feel and responsiveness, allowing players to brush the ball effectively for spinny loops while maintaining good pace.

Flexibility
6.0

Designed for offense, this blade exhibits medium flexibility that balances stiffness for power with enough give for dwell time and control. The flex pattern supports both direct hits and brushing strokes, making it versatile for different attacking techniques while maintaining good stability.

Vibration
6.0

As an all-wood blade, Furious provides moderate vibration that offers useful feedback without excessive harshness. The sensation helps players gauge the quality of their contact while remaining comfortable during extended play sessions. It strikes a good balance between informative feedback and playing comfort.

Quality

Tibhar maintains its reputation for good craftsmanship with the Furious. Our assessment finds well-sanded handles and a clean overall finish that represents solid value. The construction feels robust and consistent, with attention to detail that players appreciate. While not in the ultra-premium category, it delivers reliable quality that holds up well to regular play.
