Tibhar Felix Lebrun Hyper Carbon

This is an excellent looping blade. It’s soft, and yet it’s fast. I have used and owned TB Spirit, TB ALC, Primorac Carbon, Sardius, and Jun Mizutani ZLC. This blade is faster than TB Spirit and ALC. The limba outer ply allows longer dwell time for spin generation. Two of my favorite blades are JM ZLC and Felix Lebrun Hyper Carbon. It’s a toss-up between the two for looping, and I am currently using the FL Hyper Carbon as I slightly prefer this blade. It’s one of the best blades for power looping. Workmanship is as expected from a premium blade. Build quality is comparable to BTY blades. I am definitely buying another one if it goes on sale again.

The Felix Lebrun blade has a slightly larger length and width head than the standard 150×157 blades. Very solid balance and highly stable performance. Great spin and control, but still has very good power; enough power! I feel a sense of control and confidence with this blade. I love it! I believe the wood plies are limba-ayous-carbon-ayous core. I own both the flared and straight handles. I gravitate more towards the straight handle, but still like the flared handle as well.

Hope this helps.

I own more than 100 blades and am a recreational collector of table tennis blades. I must say that this blade is not extraordinary. However, it is not a bad blade. I paired it with K3 PRO on the forehand and Quantum on the backhand.

Yinhe Jupiter II Blade Review

I own the straight handle non-penhold version of this blade. It excels in control and speed. Its stability is remarkable, resulting in a low throw/trajectory. Touch and serve return are excellent. Blocking is a significant strength of this blade. Hitting and looping are consistently top-notch. My overall game has become more stable since using it.

The head size is larger, distributing more weight towards the top. I currently equip it with D09C rubbers on both sides. While there are faster blades available, the low throw and exceptional consistency presented a challenge to my opponents.

The carbon layer is situated on the core, enveloped by an outer layer of limba for enhanced dwell time. The “Hyper Carbon” material may be thicker than its counterparts, but I am uncertain about the composition of the other wood layers. Please share any insights into this if you possess them.

I hope this review is helpful.

I love this blade. It has an Innerforce ZLF feel and power without the price point.

Too bouncy on the short game; lacks second speed away from the table. Similar to Harimoto ZLC.

Templar Zealot Felix blade. It is similar to BTY INNERFORCE ZLC (Zhang Yining). Has very good elasticity. Balanced performance. After exerting force, no mistakes. Penhold and shake-hands grip are both very suitable. Penhold is powerful (紫板老狠了).
