Description

Roots 1 – Fast and hard carbon blade

The ROOTS 1 Speed Offensive is a fast and hard carbon blade with balanced weight distribution. Because of its high speed it is suitable for offensive players with two-sided offensive play, with emphasis on fast topspin, counter and shot play.

Blades with carbon fabric have a high basic speed. Typical for the carbon inlay is the highly enlarged sweet spot, the flat ball bounce and the straight trajectory.

The carbon inlay works vibration damping, but makes the blade very stiff, resulting in the flat ball bounce and the straight flight curve. The sweet spot is increased by the blade size and the carbon inlay, which significantly increases control.
