Tibhar E. Lebesson

Mine is 89g (FL) and definitely OFF- . Wood composition is limba/mahogany/ayous. Would rate speed as 8.5, control 9, stiffness 5 and hardness 5.5+, due to it's hard mahogany 2nd ply. You can feel the hardness of the mahogany, but it isn't as extreme as the outer walnut ply in the Yasaka Extra Offensive, which is very hard and stiff feeling. This feels more dwelly and woody than the YEO, but not as soft and flexible feeling as typical limba/limba/ayous blades. Plays like a synergy of the Primorac OFF- and the Yasaka Extra Offensive. Or, plays like the Nittaku Acoustic, but a touch harder and stiffer, without the Acoustic feeling. I paired with Evo FX-P to replicate the setup used by Lebesson himself, and can certainly see why he uses this combo. It blocks, flicks and counters well, with no obvious issues in short game. Looping with the FX-P is really nice too, with lovely click from the FX-P and a fairly standard amount of dwell. Doesn't have the dwell time of a thin/soft ZLF blade, however still has plenty enough imo. This is a really nice blade for an intermediate (or better) player, not wanting something painfully slow, or uncontrollably fast either. Blade has a longer handle length (5mm longer) and smaller blade face size, which makes for a perfect 50/50 weight balance - no head heaviness, relatively speaking. For the price on special (around $30 USD) it's great value for money.

Very similar feel to Alpha,I like the wide wings near the handle,a lot of control with ox lp on backside and chopping is very spinny and I`m making more backspin with this than with Defplay which is surprising,a little stiffer than I`m used to and probably better with max rubbers,Iwill increase the flex by sanding the throat to enable use of my 1.9 rubber for more arcing

Handle of this blade is very small, mine was under the specified weight. Consistency is not great. I'd avoid this blade entirely, you can get a better one for this price from Chinese brands like Sanwei, Yinhe, Huieson etc. Never cheap out on the blade if you buy a fast rubber. I used this with Aorus prime on forehand and Aorus on the backhand. Terrible control.

I have been an 'equipment junkie' for a year or more looking for the right setup. So I have tried several blades and rubbers. But now I have returned to this blade, which has an exceptional good feeling and dwell time. At the same time as it has good speed. I have tried Falck Carbon, Harimoto innerforce, DHS 301 to mentions just some. But they are all with much less feeling of the ball, although Falck and DHS 301 are faster, when you hit the ball. But what is the use of a faster blade, if you lose confidence and feeling in the game? In short, I can highly recommend this blade. It is excellent to develop your game and gain confidence. I use DHS 8 2.2 in my FH and Aurus Select 2.0 in my BH.

I bought one for 85 grams. I don't like this blade very much. If you've been doing this sport for 10 years like me, you probably won't like it either. Build quality is not good. it has the feel of cheap chinese blades. the sense of catching the ball is very low. Might be good for beginners. Also, the handle is thin. Although the handle part is 5 mm longer, it does not create any negativity. I do not suggest.
