Are you ready to explore the world of carbon fiber paddles and what makes them different? From T700 to Toray, Mitsubishi, SGL, and Hexel Corporation, there is a lot to know about the materials used to produce paddles. Let's dive in and learn more about carbon fiber paddles, so you can make an informed decision on the right paddle for you - without breaking the bank!
T700 Grade Carbon Fiber
Toray T700 Carbon Fiber is a grade above T700, known for its superior tensile strength and stiffness. Paddles crafted from Toray T700 Carbon Fiber exhibit unmatched power potential, enabling players to deliver authoritative shots with ease. This material is favored by competitive players looking for an extra edge on the court.
T700 is a grade of carbon fiber that must contain at least 93% carbon in its elemental composition.
Carbon fiber is often used on paddle surfaces to improve performance and reduce wear and tear.
Toray carbon fiber is renowned for its quality and is more expensive than regular carbon fiber.
It is important to note that T700 is not synonymous with Toray, the carbon fiber manufacturer.
Making Informed Choices
When looking for the best carbon fiber for paddles, it is wise to research companies that advertise their usage of Toray, Mitsubishi, SGL, and Hexel Corporation.
The T300 fiber was invented by the Japanese company Toray, in the 1970s, and is widely used in several industrial, consumer, and recreational applications. The T700 fiber has the same stiffness and diameter of the T300 fiber, and both fibers are classified as “standard modulus” fibers. The T700 fiber, however, is more advanced and has a strength that is almost 40% greater the T300 fiber. This means that the T700 fiber can withstand about 40% more stress and strain than the T300 fiber before breakage.
