Alnade

Alnade delivers very fast performance thanks to its PA CARBON layers and hybrid construction. It provides ample power for aggressive loops and drives, making it suitable for players who attack from various distances. This speed allows for effective offensive play without sacrificing too much touch.

Despite its high speed, Alnade offers exceptional control due to its well-balanced construction and large sweet spot. The PA CARBON material provides good ball feedback, allowing players to execute precise shots, blocks, and serves with confidence. This makes it surprisingly manageable for a blade in its speed class.

Alnade delivers a medium-hard feel with a higher pitch sound compared to some carbon blades. While some perceive it as stiffer, others notice good flex for looping. The PA CARBON provides distinct feedback that's neither too numb nor overly stiff, creating a balanced tactile experience.

Alnade produces a medium-high throw angle that benefits aggressive topspin shots. This trajectory helps clear the net with power while maintaining good arc during looping sequences.

For a composite blade, Alnade offers decent dwell time that allows for good spin generation on serves and topspins. You get enough time to feel the ball before release, which contributes to its control during extended rallies.

Flexibility sits in the medium range—stiff enough to deliver power for aggressive shots but with enough give to enable good spin generation and some ball-pocketing during loops.

Vibration levels are moderate—enough to provide tactile feedback without feeling harsh or numb. The combination of PA CARBON and wood layers transmits speed effectively while minimizing hand jarring, enhancing overall control.

Alnade is consistently praised for its high-quality construction and finish, with manufacturing standards that rival premium Japanese blades. The materials and craftsmanship result in a durable, aesthetically pleasing product that feels solid and reliable in hand.
