Anybody try it yet?
I am interested in it but can't find reviews nor comments. It is said that Lebesson used Samsonov Alpha and is now using his own blade. I heard that it is composed of the same plies as the Alpha, but with larger head, thus not as stiff as Alpha. It favors looping more also. That's the only information I got. One objection that I have with Alpha is that its head is too small, so probably Tibhar Lebesson is worth a try. Anybody care to review it here? Thanks. |

I'm also interested, but from what I can tell, Lebesson's style is not focused on a loop. He CAN loop, but he drives with more slap than spin. This blade is very thin, so it would favor a loop.

I have received this blade today and will try it thursday. I will post a review and compare it with samsonov alpha. If this blade is similar to salpha eventhough it is thin i doubt it will very flexible because the inner core is quite hard and rigid. The first reviews from french forum say it is a tad flexier and so a bit better for looping than salpha but there is not a very big difce.

Wow, thank you for your help. I can't wait to read your review and comparison between Lebesson vs. Alpha.
I have once bounced ball on bare blade, Lebesson did not feel as solid as Alpha. On the other hand, I bounced ball on Ikarus, and it felt like OFF blade although Tibhar designed it to be ALL+ (I wonder how, because it has 7 wood + 2 Aluminum, how can it be ALL+?). |

Looks like a Nexy design to me.

as promised a quick review of the lebesson after yestertday's test. My first impression is that this blade is a samsonov alpha customized to make the looping game a bit easier and |

So, does the Lebesson have a "standard" head size? I love my Alpha, but I hate having to chop my rubbers down to compact size, so if this is almost a standard size version of Alpha then I might get hold of one.
Also - any idea on weight?

First competition with lebesson. This blade is really close to samsonov alpha...maybe I was looping slightly better and my blocking game was a little
bit less efficient than usual. But maybe it was just me and not the blade.. Anyway this is a blade i would recommend. Very versatile and controlable with largely enough speed and power to finish (I'm done with carbone, arylate and zylon,every time i try them it feels great at the beginning during training but every time during competition, with pressure i make too many mistakes) |
