Wind CW-E

The hybrid construction with carbon layers is optimized for speed, providing significant power for fast attacks and loop drives. This rating reflects its capability for aggressive shots both close to the table and from mid-distance, making it a potent weapon for offensive play.

While designed for offense, the wood plies and series design philosophy help retain a good level of control. This allows for accurate shot placement and execution of various techniques, providing the adaptability that developing offensive players need to grow their game.

The hybrid construction with carbon results in a stiffer, more direct feel compared to all-wood blades. This provides clear feedback on ball contact, though it's less dampened than softer options, offering a touch of finesse from the outer wood layer.

Hybrid blades with carbon often produce a medium-high throw angle, which facilitates loop shots with a pronounced arc. This characteristic works especially well when paired with modern spin-oriented rubbers.

The wood and carbon combination provides a moderate dwell time. It's sufficient for imparting effective spin, especially during loop drives, without being excessively long, which helps maintain the blade's offensive speed.

The carbon fiber layers significantly stiffen the blade, reducing its flexibility. This contributes directly to the blade's speed and power, making it particularly effective for direct, driving shots that require a solid, stable platform.

Carbon plies tend to reduce vibration compared to pure wood blades, leading to a more direct and focused feel. While not completely eliminating feedback, it remains at a manageable level that provides useful sensation without being harsh.

DHS maintains a reputation for durable, well-crafted equipment, and the Wind CW-E continues this tradition. The integration of carbon fiber with wood plies represents modern construction techniques aimed at delivering consistent performance and longevity.
