The first couple of FH drives quickly revealed that the Tibhar Samsonov Force Pro Black Edition is a blade at the slower end of the OFF range. Regular FH drives are fast and can be played with a high level of control, while FH drives played with higher swing speeds produce a satisfying cracking sound and feeling with the DHS H8. BH drives with the Waran short pips provide perhaps the best balance of speed, control, and crisp feeling that I had experienced with any set-up up until this point. The blade offers an interesting mix of stiffness, speed, and impact softness, that results in a clearly felt ball impact, medium dwell time, and a fast yet controlled response.
