ORIGIN40

Description

The ORIGIN40 stands out for its subtle balance between liveliness and stability. True to the common structure of the range — identical intermediate plies and koto outer plies — it maintains the consistency and readability that characterise ORIGIN, whilst offering a slightly firmer feel than the ORIGIN30.

The 4 mm balsa core provides a quick response whilst allowing increased control. Combined with the koto outer plies, it offers precise energy return, enabling clean hits, controlled topspins and an active yet readable game.

It is a blade that suits versatile offensive players perfectly, capable of alternating between speed and placement, and who appreciate a direct response without losing control.
