Item details

The Korbel SK7 is a 7 ply attacking blade that offers a relatively soft and controlled feeling even at a high speed. It is the ideal answer for playing without speed glue.

My Review of the Korbel SK7
Pros
  • Relative high speed
  • Designer appearance
  • Price
Cons
  • Relative lack of flexibility
  • Relative low control
  • Relative heaviness
Speed: This blade has a relatively high speed, a little bouncy and sometimes hard to control because of this. It was paired with two Tenergy 19s.

Control: A relatively amount of control, a little bouncy for the short game.

Feel:
Surprisingly, this blade had a great feel, with some vibration.

Stiffness: This blade has a relatively low amount of flexibility, it is rather on the stiff side. Because of that, the throw angle is not too high, which does not really suit me.

Durability: As durable as any other blade. Sometimes during regluing the upper layer of wood was seperated from the second layer. However this only affected the edges at small territories, nothing serious. It does not break if you do not throw it around (which I did :D).
Pros
  • Very fast
  • Good control
Cons
  • Heavy
  • Not for beginner
The Korbel SK7 is a very offensive bat. Its effectiveness is in its speed and control. This blade is one of the more heavier ones, but for some that might be preferred, as for myself. Compared to how much heaviness and speed is in this blade, this blade offers great control. Definitely a blade you wanna consider if you like an aggressive/offensive style.
