💡 Who this suits
Good reaction speed, well suited to attacking play, with a soft feel that makes it easy to control.
About this product
Seven-ply at 6.5mm. Reaction 10.6, vibration 8.2.
The vibration figure defines it. Against its seven-ply relatives — Korbel SK7 and SK7 Classic at 9.3, Timo Boll Spirit at 10.3 — 8.2 is conspicuously low. This is the seven-ply that sends the least shock into the hand.
Reaction drops with it, to 32nd rather than the 27th of its siblings. Within the family this is the soft one, trading power for stability.
₩75,000. Korbel is an old name that still sells, and this is why: unspectacular but predictable, which is exactly what matters while the strokes are being built.
