The BASEline Carbon is a light entry-level carbon fiber blade with a fine inner soft carbon layer. The layer composition adds stiffness to the blade but maintains the natural all wood type of feeling which players love. The blade is an ideal introduction to the world of carbon fiber blades with great speed and high safety margins and a high arc over the net in topspin play. The low total weight of 83 grams creates great balance with firmer rubbers by reducing the overall racket weight.
