ORIGIN50

Description

The ORIGIN50 positions itself as an intermediate offensive blade in the ORIGIN range: more powerful than the lighter models (ORIGIN30 and 40), but less “dense” than the ORIGIN60. Its construction — koto outer plies, 5 mm balsa core — offers a balanced feel: lively, reactive and precise, whilst maintaining excellent control.

The 5 mm balsa core returns energy efficiently during hits and topspins, whilst the koto outer plies enhance precision and liveliness. The intermediate ply slightly softens the contact, for a pleasant and progressive feel.

It is a blade designed for offensive players who want to step up the pace whilst maintaining reliable control and optimal readability of the trajectory.

Who is it for?

• Joueurs offensifs recherchant un bon compromis puissance / contrôle

• Those who want a lively but manageable blade

• Players looking for precise hits and fast topspins

• Suited to players able to alternate between speed and placement

PKB Notes

Handcrafted in France, the ORIGIN50 benefits from rigorous selection of wood species, calibration of the balsa core and piece-by-piece quality control. Each blade is unique: slight variations in weight and colour may exist.
