Block

Kosaka Block earns a high speed rating thanks to its carbon fiber layers, which facilitate powerful drives, loops, and smashes. It leans toward the faster end for a 5-ply hybrid, giving players an offensive edge to dictate play while maintaining a balanced feel.

Despite its speed, Kosaka Block is praised for excellent control. The balsa wood core and specific carbon arrangement maintain a predictable feel, allowing players to execute precise shots, blocks, and defensive maneuvers with confidence and consistency.

Kosaka Block delivers a dampened, responsive sensation with minimal vibration. The combination of Koto, Aramid Carbon, and balsa creates a feel that balances stiffness and softness, ideal for blocking and controlled attacks.

Carbon layers and a focus on speed contribute to a medium-high throw angle, advantageous for offensive shots like loops and drives, helping them clear the net with sufficient arc and spin.

Players report a longer dwell time, beneficial for generating spin on serves and loops, as well as effective blocking. The balsa core and outer wood plies allow the ball to sink into the blade for greater control and spin potential.

Carbon layers provide stiffness, but the balsa core prevents it from being overly rigid. With medium-low flexibility, Kosaka Block offers a stable platform for powerful shots while retaining some ability to absorb incoming pace.

This blade exhibits minimal vibration, enhancing feel and reducing fatigue during play. This characteristic supports better control on delicate shots and blocks while still allowing for powerful offensive strokes.

Built with high-quality materials imported from Korea and Japan, Kosaka Block offers solid durability and construction. Indonesian manufacturing focuses on a robust build, resulting in a reliable blade that withstands regular play.
