5 out of 5 rating for Ovtcharov Carbospeed
Kiri, Energy Carbon, Hinoki. 5 ply. 7.0mm . 87gr
2x Xiom Omega IV Asia MAX
An outstanding product.
I purchased this blade last week and i must say im surprized. Tried Stigas and Btys powerhouses such as Clipper, RW5, TBALC,Primorac Carbon, etc...but none assembled so well the Carbospeed characteristcs.
Tons of speed. Lightning fast. Drives and hits are top tier. You can easily place the ball even close to the table.
Loops are quite tricky due medium dwell you must make a quick movement and use wrist otherwise will hit net or overtable.
The throw is linear compared to most blades. There have to be spin in the ball to it produces an arc.
Paired with Xiom Omega IV Asia short game is a piece of cake. Pretty dead rubber if you dont engage sponge but once you do it has monstruous spin and control. Flicks are quite good when movement is quick.
3+ meters from table is easy, top spin rallies are menageable, id say easy but i lack the technique so wont go further.
In short :
Amazing blade. Easy to use.I dont know if i paired to exact holy grail rubber for this blade but despite slow strokes doesnt work that well, i cant think any drawback.
Finishing and Craftmanship top tier. The handle is so beaultiful that i feel bad to have to dirty it. :/
The blade is so well balanced. Even with medium++ weight rubber. 44g i think.
Price. Ohhh the price. Bought for only 60USD.
Not for lazyass strokes. You must go for every shot. Feet, knee, hips, back, shoulder, arm, wrist, blade!
Very controlable short game. Tricky close to the table due linear throw.
