Vision ALC Off

Vision ALC Off is rated highly for speed, reflecting its offensive design. The inner AL-Carbon layers significantly increase power output, enabling fast drives and aggressive shots from mid-distance. While not the absolute fastest blade available, its speed is well-suited for players who need to generate decisive pace for winning shots during offensive exchanges.

Despite its high speed, Vision ALC Off delivers excellent control. The combination of wood plies and specific AL-Carbon integration creates a responsive feel and a large sweet spot. This allows players to execute precise shots, make accurate blocks, and maintain consistency even during the fastest rallies, providing confidence in both attack and defense.

Feel strikes a balance between carbon stiffness and wood responsiveness. The AL-Carbon provides firm feedback, while the wood plies prevent it from feeling overly harsh, offering a satisfying crispness on powerful shots and good dwell for spin. Players report it feels slightly stiffer than some classic alternatives, with excellent control on touch shots.

Vision ALC Off typically produces a medium to medium-high throw angle, which is particularly beneficial for powerful topspin shots. This trajectory helps the ball clear the net comfortably while maintaining a good arc and speed, facilitating consistent offensive pressure from mid-distance.

The wood and AL-Carbon combination provides moderate dwell time. This is sufficient for imparting heavy spin on serves and loops, allowing the ball to grip the rubber effectively. It's not excessively long, which helps maintain direct speed on flatter shots and quick counter-attacks.

As expected for an offensive hybrid blade, the AL-Carbon layers make it relatively stiff. This stiffness provides a solid platform for powerful shots and efficient energy transfer. However, it retains enough flexibility from the wood plies to allow for effective spin generation and a degree of feel on softer, controlled strokes.

AL-Carbon layers manage vibration effectively. While some crisp feedback is present for a good feel, excessive or unpleasant vibrations are not a characteristic. The blade offers a controlled level of vibration, contributing to its balanced sensation of power and touch.

Vodak blades are renowned for exceptional craftsmanship, and the Vision ALC Off is no exception. It features perfect edges, a smooth finish, and high-quality material bonding. This attention to detail contributes to a premium feel, reliable performance, and durability that players often compare favorably to custom-made blades.
