Power Carbon

GEWO Power Carbon is consistently rated as a fast blade, with speed characteristics ideal for aggressive play. The carbon layers provide the primary propulsion, enabling powerful topspins and decisive smashes. Players report it delivers a medium-fast to fast tempo that supports an offensive style from both mid-distance and when stepping back from the table.

For an offensive blade focused on power, the Power Carbon offers a solid level of control. This balance allows players to execute controlled shots and maintain consistency during fast rallies. Many players find it provides enough feedback and precision to place aggressive shots effectively, making it a reliable weapon for sustained attacking play.

The hybrid construction yields a medium-hard feel, striking a balance between ball feedback and structural stiffness. This provides a direct, crisp sensation on contact, allowing for powerful drives while retaining enough touch for shorter game aspects. Players often describe the handle as comfortable, contributing to a solid overall connection.

The blade produces a medium-high throw angle, especially when paired with modern tensor rubbers. This characteristic is beneficial for lifting the ball with heavy spin during topspin loops, helping to generate aggressive, arcing shots over the net.

Dwell time is moderate, as expected from a carbon blade designed for speed. The carbon layers reduce contact time compared to all-wood blades, but the wood plies help provide sufficient ball grip for effective spin generation during topspin strokes.

The blade is stiff, a direct result of the carbon layers reinforcing its structure. This stiffness is a key contributor to its high speed and power output, though it means the blade has less inherent flex and a crisper feel compared to softer, all-wood alternatives.

Vibration is at a medium level. While carbon construction often transmits more feedback, the layered wood in this blade moderates the sensation, resulting in a direct feel that isn't excessively harsh. It provides clear feedback on shot quality without being overwhelming.

GEWO Power Carbon is recognized for offering good value, delivering reliable performance at its price point. While not positioned as a premium offering, its build quality is considered more than adequate, providing durability and consistent play for offensive-minded players. It's a practical choice for those seeking high-performance characteristics without a top-tier investment.
