Tibhar / Kratos

The TIBHAR Kratos is an uncompromising offensive blade built for players who want to dominate rallies through speed, directness and explosive acceleration. Its construction combines high-energy carbon fibres with premium Japanese Hinoki outer plies, creating a blade that delivers immense power without completely sacrificing touch.

The carbon layers provide exceptional rigidity and energy transfer, while the Hinoki surface adds a distinctive feeling rarely found in extremely fast blades. The result is a blade capable of producing devastating first attacks, explosive counter-topspins and direct point-winning shots with minimal effort.

This is not a blade designed to help control the game. It is designed to impose it.

Extreme Speed Built Around Hinoki and Carbon

The Kratos was developed for one purpose: maximum offensive impact.

Its combination of carbon fibres and Japanese Hinoki creates a unique blend of explosive speed and premium ball feeling. The carbon structure generates outstanding energy transfer, while the Hinoki outer layers soften the contact just enough to maintain confidence in touch shots and short-game situations.

The result is a blade that feels powerful from the very first ball.

Built for First Attack and Counter-Offense

The greatest strength of the Kratos is its ability to accelerate instantly.

Opening loops carry tremendous penetration, counter-topspins remain stable even against high-quality attacks and flat finishing shots are executed with exceptional authority. The blade thrives in fast-paced offensive rallies where reaction speed and direct power determine the outcome of the point.

When played actively, the blade feels relentless.

High Performance Demands High Technique

The Kratos does not hide technical imperfections.

Its high speed and rigid structure leave little margin for hesitation or poor timing. Players with efficient mechanics and confident stroke production will benefit from its enormous offensive potential. Less experienced players may struggle to control its acceleration and reduced dwell time.

This is equipment designed for players who generate quality through commitment and precision.

Where It Excels

The blade performs best close to the table and from aggressive mid-distance positions. It excels in modern offensive systems based on early timing, powerful topspins, counter-attacks and direct pressure.

Its main limitation is forgiveness. Compared with slower offensive blades, the Kratos offers less margin for error and demands greater technical accuracy in both timing and ball contact.
