Kinetic CF Light OFF

The UD-carbon layers and offensive design deliver high speed, making this blade exceptionally fast for aggressive topspin and direct attacking play. It generates significant power, enabling quicker shots and reducing the need for large strokes, which players find ideal for dictating rallies.

Despite its speed, Kinetic CF Light OFF maintains impressive control, largely thanks to the Kinetic System in the handle and quality wood veneers. This system absorbs vibrations and provides better feedback, allowing players to keep precision during fast exchanges and complex shots.

Feel is medium-hard, offering a good balance with less rigidity than some carbon blades and decent feedback in the sweet spot. Carbon layers contribute to a stiffer feel compared to all-wood options, though vibration can affect perception for some players.

Throw angle is medium-high, typical for an offensive carbon blade, facilitating aggressive topspin shots with a good trajectory that helps in attacking play.

Dwell time is moderate, as carbon layers typically reduce it compared to all-wood blades. The Kinetic System and wood plies aim for a balance, allowing controlled spin generation, especially with softer rubbers that can enhance dwell.

Flexibility leans towards stiff due to the carbon fiber layers, providing a firm base for powerful shots. It's not as rigid as some carbon blades, offering a bit of give for controlled play.

Vibration levels are medium to high, with some players reporting noticeable feedback. The Kinetic System is designed to reduce this, mitigating vibrations to a degree, but sensitivity varies among users.

Build quality is generally good with durable performance materials like carbon fiber and quality wood plies. However, many players note an annoying factory lacquer layer that requires removal before gluing rubbers, which can be a minor hassle but doesn't detract from overall durability.
