Tibhar Shang Kun Hybrid AC

This is the best blade I’ve found in terms of feel and confidence, allowing me to attack without hesitation on the opening loop and third-ball attacks. The short game is highly controlled, while topspins and counter-loops feel effortless from both wings. It offers a soft touch on blocks, providing excellent stability whether you are playing a passive block or an aggressive punch-block.

solid blade, ton of spin, decent speed. Using mx-s forehand and pretty good except that it could be a tiny bit faster. Tried el-p for backhand but pretty so-so. Switched to vj-07 stiff, which to me is a better fit, more spin and makes the setup lighter. Overall setup is decent at almost every aspect, good near or far from the table, with exceptional spin. The only issue is it's very very head-heavy, the level of w968, so if you like balanced paddles this may not be for you.

Nowadays Tibhar Hybrid AC Inside. The last racket Felix Lebrun competed with before he was given a Tibhar signature racket. Pretty much perfect in every way. Not as flexible as the Donic Ovtcharov No. 1 Senso but much faster. Much better feel than, for example, DHS Hurricane 301. The properties are lost with soft rubbers. Needs at least 47.5 degrees with a hard top sheet = Nittaku Fastarc G-1, but the harder the better.

One of the most easiest blade to execute high end shots, very high control and precision, topspin felt natural with this blade. My game has gone up a few gears since using for a month, sk is in the same level as butterfly inner layer alc, sk has abit more flex at lower gear than btfly . Inner layer is slightly stiffer however both blade on high gear behave very similar almost identical . There is more solid feel on btfly inner layer alc on high gear than sk but only marginal difference. Both are amazing blade ,very hard for me to decide which to be my main.

I tried many blades before I found this. Until now I was missing something and this one filled the void. Extremely balanced and consistent, gives you security and confidence in the shots that fall exactly where you want them. Amazing control and precision. Gives a lot of spin due to the long time of hold. Its power is spin, spin, spin. Blade for loopers and topspin players from close and medium distance. If your shots are flat this is not the blade for you because it is not very fast. Its range is OFF, OFF- . Very good feel and soft feeling of wood despite the carbon. If someone likes flex blades this is not one of them. Very good with an active block. Of all I have tried this is my favorite.
