I have been an 'equipment junkie' for a year or more looking for the right setup. So I have tried several blades and rubbers. But now I have returned to this blade, which has an exceptional good feeling and dwell time. At the same time as it has good speed. I have tried Falck Carbon, Harimoto innerforce, DHS 301 to mentions just some. But they are all with much less feeling of the ball, although Falck and DHS 301 are faster, when you hit the ball.
But what is the use of a faster blade, if you lose confidence and feeling in the game?
In short, I can highly recommend this blade. It is excellent to develop your game and gain confidence. I use DHS 8 2.2 in my FH and Aurus Select 2.0 in my BH.

I bought one for 85 grams. I don't like this blade very much. If you've been doing this sport for 10 years like me, you probably won't like it either. Build quality is not good. it has the feel of cheap chinese blades. the sense of catching the ball is very low. Might be good for beginners. Also, the handle is thin. Although the handle part is 5 mm longer, it does not create any negativity. I do not suggest.
Medium speed and control. Very thin FL handle. Flexible and inexpensive but I wouldn't t buy it again. Can't say anything special about this blade.
Really good bat for those developing there technique. It is not too fast nor too slow but very consistent. Nice feeling too. The flared handle I got is a bit small unfortunately. It might be better to get a straight handle. You can defend with it quite nicely as well due to the control. It is good for both attack and defence but leaning towards attack. Really good blade for it's price. Recommended for beginners to intermediate.
Mine is 89g (FL) and definitely OFF- . Wood composition is limba/mahogany/ayous. Would rate speed as 8.5, control 9, stiffness 5 and hardness 5.5+, due to it's hard mahogany 2nd ply. You can feel the hardness of the mahogany, but it isn't as extreme as the outer walnut ply in the Yasaka Extra Offensive, which is very hard and stiff feeling. This feels more dwelly and woody than the YEO, but not as soft and flexible feeling as typical limba/limba/ayous blades. Plays like a synergy of the Primorac OFF- and the Yasaka Extra Offensive. Or, plays like the Nittaku Acoustic, but a touch harder and stiffer, without the Acoustic feeling. I paired with Evo FX-P to replicate the setup used by Lebesson himself, and can certainly see why he uses this combo. It blocks, flicks and counters well, with no obvious issues in short game. Looping with the FX-P is really nice too, with lovely click from the FX-P and a fairly standard amount of dwell. Doesn't have the dwell time of a thin/soft ZLF blade, however still has plenty enough imo. This is a really nice blade for an intermediate (or better) player, not wanting something painfully slow, or uncontrollably fast either. Blade has a longer handle length (5mm longer) and smaller blade face size, which makes for a perfect 50/50 weight balance - no head heaviness, relatively speaking. For the price on special (around $30 USD) it's great value for money.
Excellent blade all+/off- great feel..light vibrations high arc..great for close to mid distance
Limba-Mahogany-Abachi-Mahogany-Limba
perfect combination for control elastic topspin and blocks

Very good control. It allows a lot of shots. Nice handle. Touch play is fantastic. Not fast but control blade. Good for blocking and smashing. I pared with Tenergy 64 and Andro rasant.
Very similar feel to Alpha,I like the wide wings near the handle,a lot of control with ox lp on backside and chopping is very spinny and I`m making more backspin with this than with Defplay which is surprising,a little stiffer than I`m used to and probably better with max rubbers,Iwill increase the flex by sanding the throat to enable use of my 1.9 rubber for more arcing
Amazing blade. It works very well with all rubbers. I've used tacky rubbers & tensor rubbers. It feels amazing!
Great for touch and topspin! It is perfect for controlling rallies.

it is an excellent choice if you want to play controled topspin game. it is my second blade.. my weapon of choice is Tibhar Stratus Power Wood but Lebesson blade has better control.. SPW is harder stiffer and much more powerfull but Tibhar Lebesson gives you very good ball feelling and helps you to use your own hitting power instead relying the rough power of a fast blade.. paired with fast medium hard rubbers Lebesson blade makes wonders for the intermediate looper.. and this blade is cheap like hell!!!
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.

This feels very similar to the Samsonov Alpha. Looks to have the same construction, but slightly thinner handle (comparing both flare handles), and a slightly larger head size. That second point is nice if you switch rubbers around a lot - the Sammy Alpha has a compact head, so standard cut rubbers overhang somewhat.
Fantastic quality and value for money. Plenty of speed for a stiff 5 ply, and matches well with most rubbers.
