Tibhar

AK 23 is the blade of the Youth World Champion 2024, Annett Kaufmann. Directly under the outer ply, the extremely stable “BULLET CARBON” confers to the AK 23 its unique touch. In short and fast open rallies, AK 23 not only confers tremendous speed, but also sufficient control and a great ball sensation: in a passive game put the adversary under pressure with precise block balls. This wide variation and outstanding tempo characteristics are what set this absolute high-end product apart, as well as Annett’s playing style, which is why it bears her name.

High-quality training balls

Specialty: One side is inner; one side is outer
The outer carbon side provides more power for hard and aggressive play. The inner carbon side conveys more feeling and control for service-receive situations and stable, well-placed attacks.
Optimal for rather “one-sided” players, who need power and speed for their “stronger” side as well as control and safety for their “weaker” side
Perfectly supports Darko’s style, with fast and hard backhand attacks combined with rather spin and placement-focused forehand stroke
