Cybershape
Lemuria Cybershape is a modern offensive blade defined by its unique hexagonal head shape. This Cybershape design aims to optimize the hitting area, creating a larger sweet spot that enhances power and consistency, especially on serves and returns. By blending Koto and Limba wood layers with inner ALC (Arylate-Carbon) fibers, it delivers a hybrid construction that balances speed and control. This blade caters to players seeking a distinct tactical edge and a modern feel that deviates from traditional round shapes.
This 7-ply construction uses a symmetrical sandwich design. Koto outer plies offer a crisp, responsive surface. They encase inner ALC fiber layers that add stability and enlarge the sweet spot. The core consists of Limba, Kiri, and another Limba layer, with the lightweight Kiri wood contributing to overall feel and reducing excessive weight.
TT Sensei Ratings
✦Our expert analysis of this blade's performance characteristics
With a speed rating of 8.5, Lemuria Cybershape is built for offensive play. The inner ALC layers provide significant power amplification, making it highly effective for aggressive shots and fast rallies. It delivers strong, direct power when driving the ball forward, fitting players who like to dictate the pace of the game.
This blade provides a stable platform for controlled attacking play. The wood and ALC combination generates sufficient dwell time for good spin, while maintaining excellent stability for precise blocking and tactical placement shots during rallies.
Lemuria Cybershape delivers a medium-hard feel. Players describe it as crisp yet somewhat softer than expected, with a unique feedback that some characterize as 'unclear' or slightly 'empty' compared to traditional blades, which is part of adapting to its hybrid Cybershape construction.
The blade produces a medium-high throw angle, ideal for offensive play. This characteristic helps in executing powerful topspin loops and aggressive drives, allowing the ball to arc over the net with good clearance and dive onto the table.
The dwell time is moderate, rated around 7.0. The wood and ALC layering allows for adequate ball contact to generate spin, though the distinctive feel can make the feedback less direct, potentially giving a perception of slightly shorter dwell on very delicate touch shots.
With a flexibility rating of 5.0, this blade sits in a balanced middle ground. It has enough stiffness for powerful drives and counter-hits, yet retains sufficient flex to aid in brushing loops and generating spin, which is typical for all-around offensive hybrid blades.
Vibration feedback is moderate. The hybrid structure transmits a different sensation than all-wood blades, which some users interpret as a 'hollow' or muted feel. It provides enough feedback for shot awareness without being overly sharp or dampened.
While functionally sound for play, our community notes variable build quality as a concern. The primary issue reported is the durability of the outer Koto plies, with instances of splintering occurring after rubber removal. This potential for damage is a significant consideration for long-term ownership and maintenance.
Technology
The core technology is the patented Cybershape hexagonal head design, engineered to maximize the effective hitting area and create a larger sweet spot, particularly beneficial for serves and returns. This is combined with a hybrid composition using Arylate-Carbon (ALC) fibers integrated between wood plies. The ALC material enhances rebound speed and stability, while the specific wood stack—Koto outer layers for a crisp hit, Limba for feel, and a lightweight Kiri core—works in concert to deliver a balanced offensive performance.
Similar Blades
STIGA Cybershape Carbon
The STIGA Cybershape Carbon is widely regarded as a direct counterpart, sharing the identical hexagonal shape and a very similar ALC-based hybrid construction. Players report nearly indistinguishable playing characteristics in terms of speed, control, and overall feel, making it a premier alternative.
STUOR Hexagonal
Community feedback indicates the STUOR Hexagonal model is functionally identical to the Lemuria Cybershape, likely sharing the same materials and factory construction. It serves as a more budget-friendly alternative for players seeking the Cybershape experience without the associated brand premium.
