It offers a compelling balance, allowing for assertive offensive strategies without sacrificing the feel needed for nuanced control, making it a popular choice for advancing players seeking a responsive and powerful platform.
The blade uses a 7-ply construction with two carbon fiber layers. It features a symmetrical build with Limba outer layers, followed by Anegre, carbon, a dual Ayous core, then carbon, Anegre, and Limba again. This stack is designed to offer stability, a solid hitting feel, a large sweet spot, and clear feedback, supporting its offensive character.
TT Sensei Ratings
✦Our expert analysis of this blade's performance characteristics
Wosik Senso Carbon is a very fast blade, built for aggressive attacks. The carbon layers combined with its wood plies create a powerful platform that excels in fast rallies. You'll notice a distinct, crisp sensation on looping shots, indicating efficient power transfer. This speed allows players to dictate the pace and finish points decisively.
For a carbon blade focused on offense, the Wosik Senso Carbon offers commendable control. The Senso handle technology provides clear ball feedback, which is crucial for precise placement and managing powerful shots. Our testing shows it retains enough feel for touch play near the net, making it more versatile than many pure power blades.
The blade provides a medium-hard, solid feel. You get a crisp feedback on power shots, characteristic of carbon blades, but the Senso handle transmits enough nuanced sensation for touch play. This balance offers confidence in aggressive strokes while maintaining connection to the ball.
It produces a medium-high throw angle, which is advantageous for offensive looping. This trajectory helps the ball clear the net with a good arc and depth, making topspin attacks more dangerous and harder for opponents to counter-attack flat.
Dwell time is good for a carbon blade. It provides sufficient ball contact to generate substantial spin, especially effective for looping techniques. While not as long as an all-wood blade, it offers enough grip for controlled play in the short game and when initiating attacks.
The blade has moderate stiffness, leaning towards the stiffer side due to the carbon reinforcement. This provides a solid, stable platform for powerful drives and quick blocks. It offers enough inherent pliability for effective spin generation, particularly when paired with modern tensor rubbers.
Vibration is moderate. The carbon layers create a stiffer structure that dampens some of the finer vibrations, but the Senso handle is designed to transmit useful, clear feedback. This results in a feel where you can sense ball contact without excessive harshness or a dead sensation.
This blade is recognized for its high build quality and consistent performance. The materials and Senso handle construction contribute to a durable and reliable feel. Many players find it offers excellent value, delivering premium performance characteristics associated with more expensive blades, making it a solid long-term investment for offensive play.
Technology
Donic Wosik Senso Carbon features the signature Senso handle technology, which incorporates a hollow construction. This design is engineered to enhance ball feedback and improve the player's feel for contact, aiming to boost control and precision on a blade built for speed. The core technology lies in its hybrid ply construction, strategically placing carbon layers between wood plies to create a stable, powerful blade with a large sweet spot, balancing the explosive qualities of carbon with the tactile response of wood.
