Technology
Loki Violent V-7 incorporates a CLCR (Carbon Layer Composite Resin) processed blade surface. This technology aims to harden the outer layers, increasing power and shot speed without embedding traditional carbon fiber plies. The goal is to enhance offensive capability while preserving the fundamental feel and feedback of an all-wood construction, offering a modern twist on a classic design.
