KTL (LKT) 368

KTL 368 delivers adequate speed for an all-round blade, providing enough pace for effective looping and attacking shots when paired with faster rubbers. It's not exceptionally fast, but it supports consistent offensive play, making it suitable for developing players who need a balanced blend of power and control.

Control is a major strength of this blade, with players reporting excellent precision for blocking, placement, and maintaining consistency in rallies. Its forgiving nature makes it ideal for learning to control the ball, offering a high level of feedback and stability during play.

With Hinoki outer plies and a cork core, this blade delivers a soft, tactile feel that provides excellent feedback on ball contact, enhancing touch and spin sensitivity.

The softer wood and 7-ply construction produce a medium-high throw angle, ideal for generating higher, spinning arcs on loops and topspin shots.

The softer wood composition and cork core contribute to a longer dwell time, allowing players to impart more spin on the ball and enjoy a cushioned, controlled contact.

As a 7-ply all-wood blade, it has a degree of flexibility that aids dwell time and spin generation, with Hinoki outer plies adding a responsive, somewhat springy character.

Cork and softer wood layers provide medium vibration levels, offering a good balance between feel and shock absorption for comfortable play without excessive feedback.

KTL 368 offers good build quality for its price range, with users appreciating its reliable performance and value. It's often recommended for beginners and intermediate players seeking a durable, well-constructed blade that performs above its cost.
