Hunter X-Carbon

I have a collection of Hunter, Stiga, Nittaku blades. A few Butterflys. This is an excellent blade. I have Hammond Pro Alpha on one side and short fast pips Stiga Royal on the other. This blade has serious punch with great control.

I was surprised at the performance of the paddle. The handle and feel is almost as similar to the balsa-carbon but better. The nitakku FH, and DHS 8 BH complimented each other very well. It didn't take long for me to adjust. Its light, fast and blocking is close to excellent...of course, it depends on the speed of the ball you're blocking...overall, I'm very happy and this would probably be my last racket to use....I have those so called vicarias, carbon primorac, Zhang jike S ZLC, bslsa-carbon and this racket is far better not to mention the price....

I chose the Hunter - X- Carbon blade because the weight is better for my slight build without sacrificing offensive power. There are other light blades, some with better power ratings, but the lower weight and high control allow me to dress the blade with maximum rubber, Unlike some carbon blades, the Hunter - X does not have a center sweet spot but instead produces an even feel whether I choose to hit center or outside edge for more spin. My rubber is Tibar Hybrid K3 and Nittaku Hurricane Pro 3 Turbo Blue on the other side. The rubber speed and spin produce extra snap with less effort and excellent control. I can move quickly from defense to offense using shorter strokes and quicker recovery with lower tragectory. .

Lighter than the average paddle, but provides firmness and control.
