Vector Speed

Vector Speed lives up to its name with a very fast, offensive character. This high speed rating makes it excellent for generating powerful shots from both close to the table and mid-distance. The Zylon-Carbon core provides the explosive energy transfer needed for aggressive attacking play.

Despite its focus on power, this blade maintains a respectable level of control. The wood layers surrounding the composite core help absorb some impact, allowing for precise blocks and well-placed shots. Players find they can manage its speed effectively for a balanced offensive game.

The blade delivers a solid, crisp, and direct feel upon contact. The composite core provides a firm response with minimal mushiness, characteristic of medium-hard feeling blades that give clear feedback to the player.

The combination of the composite core and wood plies tends to produce a medium-high throw angle. This is beneficial for players who like to create heavy topspin with a looping arc that clears the net comfortably.

Given its composite construction and speed-oriented design, the dwell time is likely in the medium range. This provides enough contact for spin generation while ensuring a quick release for powerful, fast shots.

The blade features a medium flex, striking a balance between stiffness for power and a slight give for control and spin generation. This flexibility allows players to load the ball effectively for spinny loops.

Vibration is minimal, resulting in a very clean and solid feel. This low vibration characteristic aids in precise ball placement and can reduce hand fatigue during long playing sessions.

Craftsmanship is a highlight, with users consistently noting the excellent finish, precise construction, and metal inlays. The guaranteed weight range demonstrates tight quality control. Many players find its build quality comparable to premium blades at a much higher price point.
