A lot of power and precise ball feedback support Kirill's powerful attacking game.
The construction of ‘Skachkov Carbon’ is a kind of typical outer-type construction. The top layer is Koto, the middle layer is Ayous, and the center layer is Kiri. Aramid Carbon, which is the mixed woven of aramid fiber (= aromatic polyamid fiber) and carbon fiber, is inserted directly under the top layer. Overall thickness is around 6.0mm. (It is actually measured value.) This construction looks like that of ‘Viscaria’ at a glance. However, because there are differences in the kind of artificial material and the thickness of each layer, we can expect that there will be difference in actual characteristics.
