Graphene Carbon

Kokutaku Graphene Carbon delivers high speed, driven by its carbon layers and stiff construction. The ZC Carbon material facilitates strong drives and fast attacking play, allowing players to execute powerful shots with ease. This makes it particularly effective for offensive strategies that prioritize pace and direct hits over subtle spin variations.

While the carbon layers provide substantial power, the wood plies and ZC Carbon properties work to maintain a reasonable level of control. Our testing indicates drives feel strong and precise, though finesse shots requiring high spin, such as delicate receives or heavy loops, can be more demanding. It offers good control for power-oriented play but may challenge those relying heavily on spin manipulation.

Kokutaku Graphene Carbon offers a medium feel, characterized by a smooth and compact sensation upon ball contact. The thicker outer plies contribute to this balanced tactile feedback, providing good feeling and control that helps players connect with their shots effectively during both offensive and defensive maneuvers.

Kokutaku Graphene Carbon produces a medium-high throw angle, which facilitates aggressive looping and powerful drives. This trajectory helps in generating effective topspin and clearing the net with authority, making it well-suited for players who engage in active, offensive exchanges from mid-distance.

This blade provides a moderate dwell time, thanks to its combination of wood and carbon layers. It allows for sufficient ball contact to generate spin on softer shots while still delivering quick rebound and power on harder hits, making it adaptable for varied offensive techniques.

Kokutaku Graphene Carbon is a stiff blade, largely due to its carbon and graphene layers. This stiffness contributes to its speed and power, providing a solid hitting platform, but reduces overall flexibility. Players will notice a direct, linear response that favors forceful strokes over elastic, whip-like actions.

Vibration is well-managed, with graphene helping to dampen excessive harshness. The blade transmits precise feedback near the handle, offering clear sensations without being overly jarring. This controlled vibration aids in shot placement and touch play, enhancing overall playing confidence.

Kokutaku Graphene Carbon reflects solid manufacturing quality, with advanced materials like graphene and ZC Carbon paired with quality wood plies. The construction feels durable and well-executed, providing a reliable performance platform. While not the absolute pinnacle of craftsmanship, it delivers excellent value and consistency for players seeking a high-performance offensive blade.
