Force Arc
Gewo Force Arc is a 7-layer offensive blade built for speed-oriented topspin players. It masterfully blends Aramid Carbon (ARC) layers with premium wood veneers, delivering high speed and extreme stability. The carbon components provide power, while the aramid ensures a pleasant feel and excellent ball feedback. This construction offers balanced hardness, a large sweet spot, and consistent performance for aggressive play from all distances. Its rigidity provides direct pressure and maximum stability for precise, decisive attacks, and the robust build enhances durability.
This symmetrical 7-layer construction features Koto outer plies for a crisp feel and initial speed, followed by Ayous wood and inner Aramid-Carbon composite layers. The Kiri core provides lightweight flexibility and dwell time, while the strategic placement of Aramid-Carbon layers enhances speed and stability while maintaining good ball feel characteristic of aramid materials.
