Tibhar Kim Jung Hoon

I previously used Aurus and 5Q VIP in this blade but changed to Evos because I feel that Evos are better in KJH. Now I use MX-P on fh side and MX-S on the bh side as I followed Vladi and Sanil Shetty. The KJH is a blade created by Nexy for Korean star Kim Jung Hoon under the brand name Tibhar. So it is a Tibhar/Nexy blade and like all Nexy blades it has very good feeling. The dual impact technology is also present in this blade and it basically translates to gears, the blade itself is a "manual' type blade because you choose which gear to use unlike other blades which only have one or two gears.

The KJH is for players who:
- Prefer an allround offensive style of play
- Close table to mid distance attackers
- Blockers and counterers
- Flickers in either fh or bh side
- Prefers an allwood blade with "feel"
- Wants a blade with a unique feel

I switched to KJH for its feel and gears, my previous blade was the Force Pro Black Edition. I became very interested with Nexy blades because of the feel and many gears without sacrificing the speed. I wanted a blade where I can spin and block properly if forced to even in tight situations. A blade that can go from slow to super fast with minimal effort. That blade is Kim Jung Hoon paired with MX-P and MX-S.

Der_Echte has made the Tibhar Kim Jung Hoon his primary battle ax for the last week and is ready to report findings...

KJH blade is designed by Nexy for Tibhar. Korea pro Kim Jung Hoon wanted Nexy to design his namesake balde. KJH was impressed with the early versions of the Nexy Peter Pan and told Pr. Moon what he wanted. I watched this exchange at Nexy HQ a few months before I left Korea. The basic things KJH wanted were...

- High spin potential and high arc
- Feel for the ball
- Decent top speed gear
- Controlled pace on shots that are not full swing
- Solid feel on direct struck balls
- Ability to block both fast off the bounce and soft BH defense
- Reliability close to the table on counters and off the bounce loops
- Flip and short touch performance

KJH got what he wanted. This blade isn't a rocket blade, but you make the "bang" impact, the ball will move out. The top end has enough to finish points, but you really have to have the timing of your body parts to make the thing leave a vapor trail.

I REALLY like its ability to fast block close to the table and also soft block when I loosen the hand pressure. I love how it can make good pace with a firm grip right before impact given a short compact swing.

My game relies on an ability to spin the first ball heavy and loop drive or hit the return. This blade does that. On receive, I tend to either be really aggressive or indecisive and ultimately passive, but the touch you can put on the ball can save your bacon. This isn't an OFF+ class blade, but you can still lay the smack down on finishes given the chance. I also like its ability to play more offensive minded close to the table, whether it is fast blocking or countering, you really can apply pressure to an opponent. That counts for a lot.
