Tibhar Shang Kun Hybrid AC Blade

I am trying to find among the Tibhar and Donic brands a viable alternative to the Innerforce ALC and the Hurricane Long V. For the moment I have only found this SK Hybrid AC blade which is still Made In Japan.. .but I have few user reviews...
You can try the Donic Xtreme. It's an inner carbon/fibre type and has fantastic speed, control and feel. Fantastic for backhand, great for forehand, very good for blocking. I like it better than the Butterfly outer ALC blades Lin Gaoyuan ALC and Fan Zhendong ALC.

Tibhar Shang Kun Hybrid AC is now discontinued unfortunately. If you have played with this blade what other blades can be alternatives? I guess Innerforce ALC but any other recommendations and not to heavy.
Supposedly Felix Lebrun used Innerforce ZLC, then Shang Kun Hybrid AC and then his signature blade Felix Lebrun Hyper Carbon. You may want to try those out and see how similar they are.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t possible to order from Vinted to Sweden. If anyone knows where I can get a Tibhar Shang Kun Hybrid AC (concave) 84-86g, please let me know!
How about this one?

Is Shang Kun no longer with Tibhar? And how different is this blade from the Felix Lebrun Hyper Carbon?
A lot faster I'd say. Some time ago, I thought of getting that one, but when I read The Pong professor's review I quickly changed my mind. Don't know your level, but that blade's not for me with merely about one year of training.

"The Tibhar Felix Lebrun Hyper Carbon is a fast and stiff blade for (highly) advanced, uncompromisingly aggressive players, who rely on loop-drives and smashes (including with short pips) as their main playing style."

I see, if you're fairly new, maybe the Felix is too fast, I came from the Felix and moved over to a w968 clone and the w968 is like 4-5 notches slower, life was a lot easier with the Felix but the w968 clone is forcing me to play the right way.
