Elite Carbon

This blade is consistently rated as very fast, designed for aggressive, offensive play. The aramid carbon fleece layers are key contributors, generating significant penetrating power that allows for powerful attacking shots and a dynamic playing style.

Control ratings show some variance, but our analysis places it at a reasonable level for such a fast blade. The inner-carbon placement and wood composition help maintain a degree of predictability and feel. It offers more control than some comparable pure power blades, making it manageable for players with solid technique.

Feedback is often described as hard and clear. However, players report a unique, nuanced feel—some note a soft touch near the handle that becomes drier towards the head. This combination provides a distinct sensory experience that many find engaging and responsive.

Its offensive nature and construction promote a medium-high throw angle. This facilitates powerful looping shots with a good arc, making it effective for aggressive topspin rallies.

The inner carbon placement and wood core work together to provide a medium to medium-long dwell time. This allows for good ball contact and spin generation, preventing the feel from becoming too abrupt despite the blade's high speed.

As a 7-ply hybrid with carbon layers, this blade is on the stiffer side. The composite materials significantly reduce flexibility to enhance power and speed, though the wood plies prevent it from feeling completely rigid.

The blade delivers direct, clear feedback. The aramid carbon fleece and softer abachi core help moderate vibrations, resulting in a controlled and informative feel rather than a harsh or numb sensation, which aids in shot precision.

Produced in Sweden with professional endorsements, the Elite Carbon is recognized for high-quality construction. The materials and craftsmanship result in good durability and consistent performance, living up to its reputation as a serious piece of offensive equipment.
