Arylate Carbon
Huieson Arylate Carbon is engineered for offensive players who demand a blend of speed, control, and a distinct feel. This 7-ply hybrid blade integrates Arylate Carbon fiber layers within its wood structure, creating a responsive and dynamic playing experience. It delivers powerful shots with good maneuverability, catering to aggressive strokes like loops and fast attacks. The construction minimizes energy loss for strong rebound and high-speed output, while its balanced weight and feel support a wide range of offensive strategies.
This 7-ply construction combines responsive KOTO outer plies with internal Arylate Carbon layers for enhanced speed. The Ayous and Paulownia woods in the core provide a balance of stiffness and lightness, contributing to the blade's offensive power and overall feel. The strategic placement of Arylate Carbon reduces energy loss and improves rebound.
TT Sensei Ratings
✦Our expert analysis of this blade's performance characteristics
Huieson Arylate Carbon is consistently rated as a very fast blade, with an average speed score around 9.0. Its construction, featuring internal Arylate Carbon layers, is designed to maximize power and rebound, making it ideal for offensive play and rapid attacks. Players experience a high-speed output that excels in fast exchanges and powerful strokes.
Despite its high speed, this blade earns strong control ratings, averaging around 9.2. The Arylate Carbon layers and wood composition provide a surprising degree of precision for offensive shots. Players find it manageable for looping and controlling the ball close to the table, offering a well-balanced feel between power and finesse.
The blade delivers a stiff and direct feel, providing a crisp sensation and efficient energy transfer to the ball. While some detect a subtle woody undertone, the Arylate Carbon layers contribute to a firmer, more responsive character compared to all-wood blades, ideal for aggressive play.
With its speed-oriented materials and stiff construction, the blade produces a medium-high throw angle. This trajectory is beneficial for generating powerful, arcing loops that clear the net with confidence and depth.
Dwell time is moderate, thanks to the stiff nature and Arylate Carbon composition. This allows for effective spin generation on serves and loops, but the ball releases quicker than on softer blades, supporting an aggressive, fast-paced offensive style.
This is a stiff blade, a key characteristic of its offensive design. The rigidity provides a solid, stable base for powerful shots and quick exchanges, ensuring minimal flex during high-impact play.
Vibration levels are moderate. Some players note a slight vibration on looping shots, but the Arylate Carbon generally helps dampen excessive feedback. The result is a clear, communicative feel of ball contact without being overly harsh or muted.
Feedback on quality is mixed but generally positive for its price point. Some appreciate the good finish and value, noting it resembles more expensive blades. Others mention the finishing might require minor sanding around the handle and edges for smoothness. Overall, it's considered a solid, well-built option that delivers good performance without a premium cost.
Technology
Huieson Arylate Carbon utilizes a 7-ply hybrid construction with internal layers of Arylate Carbon fiber interwoven with wood. This design leverages the speed and stiffness of carbon alongside the elastic, dampening properties of Arylate. Outer KOTO plies provide a hard, crisp feel, while core layers of Ayous and Paulownia wood contribute to structural integrity and a balanced weight. The construction aims to reduce energy loss on impact, enhance rebound, and deliver a fast, offensive playing experience with maintained control.
