Lemuria Long 5 Clone

[TensorBackhand]

I tested the Lemuria Long 5 clone today and was generally impressed. I would say it is indeed quite similar to the real long 5.

The speed is like Off-. It is not super fast, but when you accelerate through it does have some snap.

It is fairly soft feel and fairly flexy. The responsiveness feels way lower than the 75 inner, but I think is reasonably similar to Long 5.

I think this blade should be played with hard and fast tacky rubber to be best, something like Jupiter 3. Next time I will try with that. I used Triple Double on it today, and it was a bit too slow.

Is it the one with the inner zlc? Do you have the listing link?

Where does it say Lemuria? In the shop? Seems to me it's a noname

The shop only sells Lemuria items, so I assume this is also Lemuria.

Today i tested this blade with Jupiter 3 fh and moon 12 bh. Definitely this is a dwell/flex focused blade and it does this quite well. It really is quite similar to a soft long 5.

When you move up gear, it still does give you a nice smack sound and some pop.

Also i think because it is new and the handle is smooth, i keep feeling the blade is slipping out of my hand. Its somewhat head heavy too

Isn't the real head heavy too?

So i found the perfect setup for Lemuria Long5.

I put dynaryz zgr on bh and it gives it a very snappy responsive punchy rubber on top of the flexy blade. Matches perfectly.

Them i put the Target Turbo Pro on fh, gives a dwelly, spinny, powerful fh.

So if you are using fairly fast rubbers, I do recommend Lemuria Long 5 as a HL5 replacement.

I think its all around a really good blade. For dwell and catch, I would give it a 9. Quite similar to HL5.
For responsiveness, I would give it a 8. Somewhat snappy, pretty good punches. But it does ask for a nice snappy rubber to pair with it. Once you find that combo, its really fun to loop and snap with it. I hit some really impressive shots today that felt really satisfying.

I also noticed this new listing from Haitian that seems pretty cool:

Any idea about this Haitian maker? They look kinda cool.

2 more blades arrived today, long5 clone and harimoto alc clone. Unfortunately the frequency is lower than I hoped for, 1270 and 1330 respectively.

I was hoping the Stuor Harimoto alc would be about 1400 frequency, but looking at the frequency spreadsheet, it seems most of the Harimoto blades are between 1330-1350...so I guess it makes sense.

Honestly I love this Lemuria Long 5 blade so much.

Today I tested the blade against my friend's DHS Wang Chuqing Long 5, and the Xiom TMXI.

The feeling and performance of the Lemuria is great. It kinda sits in between the DHS and the XIOM. The DHS has the most dampened feeling, like a shock absorbed feeling.

The XIOM has the most (and best IMO) feeling, with a bit of vibration and feedback, and snappiness to the shots.

The Lemuria sits in between, with a bit more vibration than the DHS but less than XIOM. Honestly the Xiom is my favorite, but it is expensive. For the $20 price, the Lemuria is simply incredible.

how is serves on this long 5 clone? backhand on push, flips, flicks?

if you want a long 5 clone, this or stuor long 5 or w968 fakes on aliexpress?

I tried all 3, lemuria was by far the best one.

I think it can hit all shots well: serves, flicks, etc. It does have a big head though, so i feel it favors deep shots

Testei o clone do Lemuria Long 5 hoje e fiquei impressionado. Eu diria que é realmente muito parecido com o Long 5 original.

A velocidade é como Off-. Não é super rápido, mas quando você acelera, tem um pouco de rapidez.

É bastante macio ao toque e bastante flexível. A resposta parece bem inferior à do modelo interno de 75, mas acho que é razoavelmente semelhante ao do Long 5.

Acho que esta lâmina deveria ser usada com borracha dura, rápida e pegajosa para ser melhor, algo como Júpiter 3. Da próxima vez, tentarei com isso. Usei Triple Double nela hoje, e ficou um pouco lenta demais.

Hi ! I have been reading several of your posts regarding blades and rubbers. In one of them you suggest Sanwei F3 Pro. Comparing with this Lemuria Clone. What are the differences between them? Which one is better?

Overall, I think the Lemuria HL5 Clone is better, but I can't guarantee that every Lemuria will be the same.

My Lemuria has larger head size. It has very good flex but also gives a good amount of snappiness when you want to punch. It is excellent for looping and for grabbing the ball. I feel it goes well with big spinny and powerful strokes.

Sanwei F3 Pro has more standard headsize, and has overall flexier and softer feeling. It doesn't feel as satisfying as the Lemuria. It has a more woodier feeling. It is also very good for high spin shots, but it doesn't have as authoritative feeling as the Lemuria.

The best match of my life I won over a 2140 LP chopper with the Lemuria. So it is one of the best blades I have ever found.

WoW ! Very Nice !

Thank you very much! I think I'll get one to test. Following your suggestions, I got a Sanwei CC, a Sanwei 75 inner and a Stuor Harimoto Clone. They haven't arrived yet. I can't wait for them to arrive .

I would like to know if you could suggest some rubbers for these 4 blades for BH and FH that don't require boost.
I consider my level to be starting at intermediate. My BH is stronger than my FH. I'm a player who focuses on more control, blocking, pushing, flicking, with drive and looping on the third ball and onwards.

Some rubbers that I've already ordered are the AK47 red, yellow and blue. Moon 12 Blue Medium Hard and Bloom Power. I was considering BD and J3A for FH but from what I understood in the posts about them, they need boost, right? Even using these blades, do I need to boost them? Any other suggestions?

Big dipper doesnt require boost and is great for fh.

Double fish volant phoenix is excellent and doesnt require boost
