Super-Force CF

Germany

GEWO Super-Force CF is a hybrid offensive blade engineered for aggressive, modern play. Its 5+2 ply construction, featuring Koto and Acacia outer plies with inner carbon layers and a Kiri core, delivers a powerful blend of speed and spin while maintaining impressive control. The blade provides a distinct, elastic feel with consistent ball feedback, making it an excellent choice for players who rely on powerful topspin attacks and quick counter-hits. Crafted in Germany, it's a reliable tool for intermediate to advanced players seeking a performance edge.

7-Ply Construction

This 5+2 construction, with Koto and Acacia as outer plies, carbon fiber layers, and a Kiri core, provides a blend of stiffness from the carbon and elasticity from the wood. The carbon layers enhance speed and power, while the wood plies offer feel and control.

TT Sensei Ratings

Our expert analysis of this blade's performance characteristics

Speed
9.0

GEWO Super-Force CF is rated as an offensive blade with significant speed potential. The carbon layers contribute to a fast response, allowing for powerful shots and quick exchanges. While officially rated OFF-, many players perceive it as performing at a solid OFF level, capable of keeping up with modern offensive play.

Control
6.3

Despite its speed, the blade offers a high level of control, a characteristic attributed to its balanced ply composition and the 'Power Feedback' technology. This allows for consistent performance in serve/return situations, blocking, and counter-attacking, making it versatile for offensive players who value placement and consistency.

Feel
Medium-Hard
SoftMedium-HardHard

The feel is described as elastic and offers good 'Power Feedback.' Some players compare it more to ZLC blades than ALC, with a sharp feel and a high-pitched sound. It provides a distinct feel that allows players to rely on it in various game situations.

Throw Angle
Medium-Low
LowMedium-LowHigh

Some players report a slightly lower throw angle than expected, while others perceive it as medium. This characteristic can be beneficial for players who prefer a flatter trajectory on their shots.

Dwell Time
7.0

While not exceptionally high, the dwell time is considered sufficient for generating spin, particularly with the elastic feel of the blade. It allows for adequate ball contact during topspin strokes.

Flexibility
4.0

The blade exhibits some flex, likely due to its construction and thickness. This flex contributes to its elastic feel and ball feedback, distinguishing it from extremely stiff carbon blades.

Vibration
2.0

Reports indicate very low vibration, which contributes to the controlled feel and direct feedback from the blade. This characteristic helps in maintaining stability during fast rallies.

Quality
8.0

The blade is generally reported to have good manufacturing quality, with well-finished handles and top plies. Minor imperfections in the core wood have been noted by some users, but overall construction is considered solid for its price point.

Technology

GEWO Super-Force CF utilizes a 5+2 ply construction, combining three distinct wood layers (Kiri core, Koto and Acacia outer plies) with two integrated carbon fiber layers. This 'Carbon CF' technology is highlighted for providing enhanced control and dependability compared to other synthetic fibers. The blade also incorporates 'Force-Tec' technology, which aims to provide consistent bouncing characteristics and an enlarged sweet spot, ensuring reliability in passive play and overall game consistency. The manufacturing in Germany underscores a commitment to quality and precision in its production.

Similar Blades

Butterfly Viscaria

GEWO Super-Force CF is often compared to the Butterfly Viscaria due to their similar hybrid carbon constructions and offensive capabilities. Some players note that the GEWO Super-Force CF offers a slightly slower feel than the Viscaria but with better overall feedback, making it a viable alternative for players seeking a similar playing experience with potentially more control.
