A. Lebrun's blade

[BobFL]

What blade is this?

I apologize if this has already been discussed.

 

[disaster3]

seems to be some custom. I visited bty, Xiom, tibhar, joola, sonic, Nittaku and didn’t find anything with such hand.
they are sponsored by Tibhar na thought it might be some Tibhar but who knows

Tibhar SK Hybrid AC Balde is what I heard last.
But when I look at the tibhar website it's not blue at the end but grey.
And the line is straight ...

Felix and Alexis both use a custom blade from Tibhar that has not been released yet.

 

[BobFL]

Yep, he used to use Tibhar Shang Kun Hybrid AC.
Now I think he is getting a signature blade from Tibhar with a very nice French flag colored handle?
I am just surprised that Tibhar mgmt is so quiet about it (IF my assumption is correct)

He is playing his upcoming new Tibhar Blade, the Alexis Lebrun Krypto Carbon. It's a 5+2 Outer-Layer blade with a fiber Tibhar calls "Krypto Carbon". It's the same fiber that is used in the Tibhar MK Carbon, also a new 2023 Tibhar blade named after Kenta Matsudaira.

The Felix Lebrun Hyper Carbon Inner blade will also be released soon by Tibhar.

Lebrun turned out some turncoat, traitor to his early agreement with Butterfly Europa 🤑

Lebrun's brother did not renew their contract with Butterfly at the end of this one. Tibhar is now their sponsor and the blade you see in this match is the final version of the prototype shown at the 2023 French championship. Outer Carbone for Alexis and Inner Carbone for Félix.

Tibhar SK Hybrid AC was the blade they used until now, waiting for their signature blade to arrive. It's as simple as that, and it's nothing new, the other big international players have followed the same pattern with their respective sponsors.

Don't forget that Tibhar is the leader in France and for a long time he was the partner of the French team. Another sponsor would have been strange. Having had the chance to try these blades a few weeks ago, I can be sure of their quality. You will notice the little nod to the colors of the French flag.

Do you know when will they be available?

I love the design on both the blades. They are not my favorite players but i think it suits them both to have the same type of design on their blades,

 

[P1ngP0ng3r]

Personally I don't like the design. The bright colors make them look cheap. The price of the blades is not that bad. Surprised that Felix's blade is actually cheaper than the Shang Kun AC.
Just by looking at the stats from Tibhar, Felix's blade is a notch faster compared to Shang Kun AC.

Does anyone already know the headsize of these blades? I expect slightly bigger like the SK AC.

 

[Creek]

Sk ac already is oversized. Lebrun = frying pan then? 😂

 

[P1ngP0ng3r]

I said "like" and not "bigger than"....

 

[BobFL]

These photos are really badly photoshoped and they do look like IKEA designed them.
Alexis' blade looks much better in the screenshots above.

 

[piligrim]

This blades looks beautiful!

 

[longle]

Anyone know what does the number 2 in the blade represent for ?

 

[Short_Pimple]

My best guess would be "L times two", one L for each Lebrun brother

 

[disaster3]

2 plies of carbon
