Wie unterscheiden sich Z-CARBON und Z-CARBON SPEED?

Beim Z-CARBON liegt die Kunstfaser innen direkt auf dem Kernfurnier. Daher ist es etwas langsamer und kontrollierter als das Z-CARBON SPEED. Zusätzlich dazu hat das Z-CARBON etwas mehr Katapult und einen weicheren Ballanschlag. Alles in allem also eine entschärfte Version des Z-CARBON SPEED mit mehr Gefühl und Kontrolle.

Für welche Spieler eignet sich das Z-CARBON?

Das Z-CARBON ist ideal für offensive Tischtennisspieler, die einen Schläger mit hohem Tempo, aber trotzdem weichem Ballgefühl suchen. Das Z-CARBON ist kein knüppelharter Trümmer, sondern ein gefühlvolles Offensivholz, das sich gut kontrollieren lässt, ohne dabei langsam zu sein.

ℹ️ Detailed information about this blade

Fast carbon-blade with great feel (OFF+)

The Z-CARBON is a fast carbon blade designed for offensive players who want to play at a high pace without sacrificing feel. It is slightly slower and more controlled than its counterpart, the Z-CARBON SPEED.

The inner Z-Carbon fiber provides the blade with stability and speed, while the thick spruce outer veneer offers greater feel and very high spin potential.

So the Z-CARBON doesn't feel stiff and lifeless like traditional carbon woods; it still retains its flexibility.

It is particularly well-suited for offensive players who want to playtopspins with a lot of spin, even from a distance from the table.

To prevent the blade from becoming too stiff —and thus difficult to control—we’ve placed the Z Carbon layer between the core veneer and the middle layer. Theouter layer, made of spruce and ayous, ensures a responsive feelupon ball contact. The synthetic fibers stiffen the wood, resulting in short ball contact times and high bounce speed.

The Strengths of the Z-CARBON

Especially with the topspin is where this combination really shines. The blade offers very high spin potential and, at the same time, enough speed to powerfully accelerate the ball even from mid-range.

With active strokes, a certain amount of spring helps accelerate the ball. This makes the Z-CARBON more responsive than very linear, stiff carbon rackets. Players who enjoy this responsiveness will find it provides additional support in their offensive play. On the other hand, players who want to control the pace as precisely as possible—matching it exactly to the effort they put in—should keep this in mind.

The large sweet spot ensures that the feel of the shot remains stable and consistent across a larger area of the clubface.

Here's how the Z-CARBON can help you in the game

For spin-heavy openings and topspins, the Z-CARBON combines its high spin potential with enough speed to generate powerful shots. So you don't have to choose between a soft touch and a fast, offensive blade.

From mid-range, the carbon fiber helps you generate enough speed, while the feel at impact is less hard and stiff than with classic, very direct carbon woods.

The most important advantage, therefore, isn't simply "a lot of speed," but speed combined with more feel and spin potential.

Our Conclusion on the Z-CARBON

The Z-CARBON is designed for offensive players who want a fast carbon blade but aren’t fond of very stiff and dry blades. Its strength lies in the combination of high speed, excellent spin potential, and a feel that’s relatively soft for a carbon blade. If, on the other hand, you’re looking for maximum directness or a high degree of reliability in your passive play, another SOULSPIN blade is probably a better fit.

❓FAQ - Häufige Fragen

Is the Z-CARBON hard to control?

No, we wouldn't put it that way. It's definitely not intended as a first racket for absolute beginners. But in terms of control, it falls in the upper mid-range. For a carbon racket, it's quite responsive, not too stiff, and offers pretty good control.

What's the difference between this and the Z-CARBON SPEED?

We used the same synthetic fiber for both blades, but they differ in their construction. The Z-CARBON SPEED is significantly faster and also slightly stiffer. The Z-CARBON is essentially the “milder” version of its counterpart and a bit easier to handle.

What's the difference between this and SPEED OFFENSIVE?

The Z-CARBON delivers significantly more spin and a bit more speed. It has more pop and flexes more, while the SPEED OFFENSIVE feels very stiff and hard, like a classic carbon blade.

Reviews by other players

Simply the Best

When the blade arrived, my initial impression was simply “Quality”. Holding the roots-8 handle customised handle was pleasant. However, my first set of rubbers (Rozena on BH, Rakza Z boosted on FH) didn’t pair well with this blade making me think it was not a good buy. I later tried Tenergy 05 Fx on BH and Gewo Codexx 54 on FH and started to enjoy the blade much more. However, because of the initial impressions, and being an EJ, I decided to compare it to other setups (see photos). To my surprise, none matched this blade and second set of rubbers. It is really a controlled beast. It took me 2-3 weeks to fall in love with it. Now I feel like my BH is a guided missile (unlike other setups that felt more like a canon), and my power loops on the FH is unmatched. Great job Soulspin and special thanks for the Roots-8 handle

Z-Carbon mit Schlägerblatt S

Habe mir ein Soulspin Z-Carbon mit der Schlägerblattgröße S bestellt. Meinem Wunsch nach einem verkürzten Griff wurde ebenfalls nachgekommen. Der Kundenservice ist hier lobenswert, habe immer schnell Rückmeldung bekommen.
Am Holz gibt es nicht zu mäkeln. Tolle Verarbeitung und überraschend stabil.
Spieleigenschaften ist natürlich subjektives Empfinden. Ich würde das Z-Carbon mit Spielspaß pur beschrieben. Es ist sehr weich und katapultig und hat entsprechend viel Eigenleben und unterstützt einen beim Beschleunigen. Muss man natürlich mögen. Aber es ist definitiv nichts für Anfänger, denn dieses Eigenleben muss eben auch kontrolliert werden.

Z-Carbon G3A G3A

Vielen Dank für den tollen Schläger und für die super Beratung hier bei uns in Heinsdorf! Das Holz ist echt spitze und mein Sohn Paul hat damit nochmal einen großen Schritt nach Vorn gemacht was Angriffsspiel und Ballkontrolle angeht.
Den nächsten Schläger werden wir bestimmt wieder bei euch anfertigen Lassen!

Ich habe das Z-Carbon im Rahmen des Testkoffers getestet. Vielen Dank für dieses Angebot!

Belag-VH: Standard P12
Belag-RH: Xiom Vega X 2.0

Das Holz hat eine ausgezeichnete Qualität und man hat es gerne in der Hand. Es spielt sich druckvoll und dennoch gut kontrollierbar und ist dabei gut im Topsinspiel am Tisch wie aus der Halbdistanz einsetzbar. Topspin oder Schlagspin ist beides gut spielbar und auch der Schuss zum Abschluss funktionieren wunderbar.

Sehr zu empfehlen, wenn man ein offensiv orientiertes Topspin-Spiel am Tisch und gelegentlicher Halbdistanz wünscht.

Ich spiele inzwischen das zweite Holz von Soulspin. Die verwendeten Materialien und die Verarbeitung sind absolut hochwertig. Mithilfe der umfangreichen Testmöglichkeiten kann jeder relativ einfach das passende Holz finden und Fehlkäufe vermeiden.
Auch Service und Beratung haben in meinem Fall bisher keine Wünsche offen gelassen.
