Customer review for Tibhar E. Lebesson

External Review for Tibhar E. Lebesson on April 4, 2011

A little bit slow for me, probably off- to off, which I was disappointed with at the beginning. After 3 months of use, things got better and I can now put plenty of speed in my tops, and my control has improved much. The most amazing quality is the amount of spin I can put in my top spins. While slower, there is a notable difference with the previous blades I have used in terms of spin. I used it first with an old boost tx, but then switched to Calibra sound. The percentage of successful top spins has increased by much (really) as soon as I started using it. I have a tenergy 64 on my BH atm, but it does not do well for me as I prefer hitting. I don't like passing blocking either as I feel nothing, maybe because it is too slow and too soft. However, I realised a some very good active blockings on a regular basis, so I won't complain too much either. Finally, the handle is (too) small, but surprisingly also comfortable.
Weight is 88g, and looks quite thin (maybe 5.5 or 6 mm, but have not measured it).
In terms of comparisons with previous blades I tried:
Speed:
Tibhar black carbon > Tibhar IVS > Tibhar Lebesson ~ Andro Kinetic Supreme off.
The blade seems less accurate at placing the ball and finding angles than my kinetic supreme which I loved, but I have the feeling that I can put more spin as well.
Finally, it looks like the blade is very flexible, as I can easily bend it by pushing against the top.
