Tibhar Table Tennis Blades
Updated
Tibhar is the German manufacturer in Saarbrücken that grew out of the training courses Tibor Harangozo ran from 1959; the company was founded in 1969 and still carries his name. Vladimir Samsonov has been its signature player for decades, and the anniversary and Violin blades below come from that line.
