Tibhar Genshu L

Only for japanese market :-( Weight : 88g / Size : 165x156. The blade has a soft feeling and is quite flexible. Definitely not for those who like hard and stiff blades like JSH or Diode. But for others, it's an interesting blade with 7 plies, including 2 red colored outer plies. The hanlde is very comfortable since it is full-wood inside and bigger than average (straight handle). This is a good defensive blade, not slow at all, not the fastest but faster than average. The blade conception is supposed to increase the efficiency of long pimples, especially Tibhar Grass D-Tecs. I personnaly use it with other LP for modern defense (more grippy and slower than GDT). I didn't noticed a hughe difference in terms of toxic effects, maybe more tense trajectories but I'm still wondering and testing... I feel comfortable with the blade, wich I would compare to Stiga Defensive Classic (the one that I'm using for the past seasons). Stiga's blade is a just little bit stiffer, but the soft touch is very close, the speed is comparable such as the overall stability. As a conclusion : a (very) rare blade with unique design and many qualities for defensive players who like soft feeling : very satble, very balanced and secure, no lack of speed. I like it!
