Tibhar Felix Lebrun Hyper Carbon Inside

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 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.

The Felix Lebrun blade has a slightly larger head in both length and width compared to the standard 150 x 157 blades. It offers a very solid balance and highly stable performance.

The blade provides great spin and control, but still possesses very good power – enough power indeed! I feel a sense of control and confidence when using this blade. I love it!

I believe the wood plies are limba-ayous-carbon-ayous core. I own both the flared and straight handles. While I gravitate more towards the straight handle, I still like the flared handle as well.

Too bouncy for short game, and lacks a second gear away from the table. It feels similar to the Harimoto ZLC.

This is an excellent blade for looping. It’s soft, yet fast. I have used and owned a variety of blades including the Butterfly TB Spirit, TB ALC, Primorac Carbon, Sardius, and Jun Mizutani ZLC.

This blade is faster than both the TB Spirit and TB ALC. The limba outer ply allows for a longer dwell time, which enhances spin generation.

Two of my favorite blades are the Jun Mizutani ZLC and the Felix Lebrun Hyper Carbon. It’s a close call between the two for looping, and I am currently using the FL Hyper Carbon as I slightly prefer it. It’s one of the best blades for power looping.

The workmanship is as expected from a premium blade. Build quality is comparable to Butterfly blades. I am definitely buying another one if it goes on sale again.

I love this blade. It has an Innerforce ZLF feel and power.

All of this comes without the high price point.

The Templar Zealot Felix blade is similar to the Butterfly Innerforce ZLC (Zhang Yining).

It possesses very good elasticity and balanced performance.

When exerting force, it offers consistent results. It is suitable for both penhold and shakehand grips. The penhold version is particularly powerful.
