What exactly is Z-Carbon and what does it do?
Z-Carbon fabric is a high-performance synthetic fiber that is used in various areas such as motor sports. The special feature of the fiber is the extremely high stability in combination with the low weight.
In terms of the table tennis racket, this means that the blade can be given enormous stability or hardness without increasing the weight significantly.
The harder a table tennis blade is, the faster the ball bounces off the blade and therefore takes a lot of speed with it.
“Carbon fabric alone is perceived by some players as very stiff – the mixture of synthetic fibers and carbon, on the other hand, is firm but remains very elastic.
This is why it is often used in vehicles for shock absorption or in the sports sector, e.g. in snowboard construction.”
“To achieve the extremely high speed and hard playing feel, we have placed the synthetic fibers directly under the top veneer of the Z-Carbon Speed. The further out the fibers are, the faster and harder a table tennis blade becomes”
THE VENEER COMBINATION MAKES THE DIFFERENCE
The use of HiTec fibers alone does not make a good table tennis blade. Just as important is the skillful combination of suitable wood types and veneer thicknesses.
With the Z-CARBON SPEED, the synthetic fiber weave lies directly under the relatively thick top layer of spruce.
External fibers reinforce the hard feel and provide even more speed.
If this combination is too fast and hard for you, you should check out the Z-CARBON The synthetic fibers in this wood lie directly on the core veneer and are covered by the intermediate layer and the outer veneer. This‘softens‘ this blade a little and gives it a softer feel.
