2023 is coming to an end, and although this year's new products are not as abundant as those of 2022, there are also some good products that have popped up, either with excellent performance or at least set off a wave of discussion.
Let's take a look back at the whole year and talk about the top ten new products of the year in the author's mind.
The new Wild King
Obviously, this is the new Wild Biao King, which is a carbon-based one. The structure doesn't look very novel, it's similar to the Wild Dragon 5. But for this base plate endorsed by Wang Chuqin, everyone still praises it a lot in terms of performance. In the case of eating the ball similar to the Dragon 5, the backhand position is easier to play and produce quality than the Dragon 5. The topspin is held and the performance is very strong.
It certainly wasn't as glamorous as the W968, but it was also sold out at one point. Although it is not as "amazing" as when the Dragon 5 first came out, there are still quite a few people who like it. After Ma Long, the most dazzling male player who uses the Wild Biao base plate is indeed Wang Chuqin. In the name of the king, it is somewhat exciting.
Inspiration Carbon King
This is undoubtedly the paddle that has been foreshadowed for a long time and made fans look forward to the most at first. First of all, structurally, it is unique in the Stika board landscape. Although Inspiration Carbon and Cyber 6 have started the "paulownia core journey", they are both pure carbon fiber, and both are "built-in" fibers. But the inspiration Carbon King is different: blue aramid carbon, and the fiber is "external", and the paulownia wood has a large core. This has not been seen in previous Stica paddles.
Coupled with Wang Manyu's endorsement and Liu Shiwen's use in some domestic competitions, it makes people even more curious. After the launch, although the performance of the radish cabbage, each has its own love, but the inspiration carbon king highlights a complete control, good ball eating performance, strong arc ability, and the backhand is very outstanding in the Stika bottom board.
Bol's 30th anniversary
At the end of this year, people found out that Boer's 30th anniversary was almost the only butterfly bottom plate listed in the national bank this yearOf course, there were still a lot of golfers who were looking forward to this board. The handle made of G-Fless sweatproof material is the same as Bol's own prototype, this is a technical gimmick. In terms of appearance, it is also quite stylish.
Although it is somewhat unattainable, there are still many golfers who have tried it. There is a strong speed and ** force, as soon as the force is forced, the arc is very long, which can give the opponent a strong sense of oppression. In terms of feel, it seems to be more "rigid" than the 70th anniversary of Pol ALC, and the strength is more prominent.
Wild and sassy
Although the world ranking is higher than Wang Manyu, Sun Yingsha's endorsement board has not received more attention than the inspiration Carbon King. Probably on the one hand, it's because W968 has lost a large part of the light. But to tell the truth, the style of Wild Soaring is indeed different from the new Wild King and Wild Dragon 5. With the thickest thickness of the large core and the thinnest total thickness of the bottom plate, the effect of a faster and more bouncing speed is made, and the backhand support is stronger and the leverage is more crisp.
It should be said that Wild Biaosa is a more feminine existence, including the all-purple handle. It is more suitable for swing speed play, the forehand and backhand are more balanced, and the use of force is more comfortable.
Inspired by carbon mixing
STIKA has opened a new model on the inspired carbon mix: external green aromatic carbon, and it is made in Korea. It turns out that inspiration doesn't just come from Sweden, it can come from China (Inspiration Carbon King, made in China) or from South Korea. This new paddle endorsed by national player Yuan Licen does have a bit of Korean craftsmanship, which is more hard and crisp and elastic. It's like a hybrid of inspired Carbon King and Ahn Jae-hyun TMX. Stika's soul is spiced with Korean spices.
Eating the ball feels similar to the inspiration Carbon King, but at medium power, it is more out of the ball and the power is heavier. Inspired Carbon King still feels more "stable as an old dog", but Inspired Carbon Mixed is more jumpy and violent. It looks sharper, and they can also be used.
glayzer 09c
This year, Butterfly Company also put two anti-glues on the shelves: Glayzer and Glayzer 09C. Performance aside, it has to be said that the Glayzer 09C is something more golfers look forward to. First of all, it's in the mid-range. Rozena's sales are so impressive, the Glayzer and Glayzer 09C must not be bad either. Secondly, people have been looking forward to a slightly softer Digics 09C to make the backhand easier to use. G09C came with a lower stiffness.
In essence, according to the author's personal feeling, G09C is decent, but it is the astringent Glayzer that gives more surprises. Made a sponge more solid, with 80% T80 feel and energy. But judging by the frequency of discussion in the market, it is clear that G09C is superior.
Dynasty zgx
Yola continues to drive for its flagship series. Launched the Dynasty ZGX, which is more delicate than the Dynasty ZGR and has a more stable friction with small forces. In terms of absolute power, Dynasty ZGX is slightly inferior to Dynasty ZGR. But it's just as violent, and it's more omnipotent. Friction pilling is more lubricated and has a higher tolerance for error. Pull and rush up, also very good acceleration, very spray.
It can be said that this fine-tuning makes Dynasty ZGX a highly compatible rubber set for violence and controllability. Many times, it will be easier to win than Dynasty ZGR.
Ahn Jae-hyun TMX
The best bats made of three-color fiber, the proud company is worth mentioning. Ahn Jae-hyun TMX combines Axylium orange aryl, Zephylium and carbon fiber to create a dynamic feel of "fast, elastic, transparent and explosive". It's not the most consistent board, but it's effortless and easy to threaten. In addition to the structure of the classic external fibers, the sense of speed and power amplification at medium strength is strengthened.
When the high force of the ball board and the strong support of the composite fiber are combined, you know that this is a domineering bottom plate.
Cyber pure wood
The future can really be "shaped"!The success of Cyber 6 gave Stika a taste of sweetness, but he didn't expect Cyber Pure Wood to make persistent efforts. Perhaps, I call it a ceiling in a five-clamp wood, which is a very reckless act. But it does give us a lot of woes.
This is a piece of pure wood with a paulownia core. But after exerting force, it can be so violent. When the force is not exerted, the rotation can be strong to this extent. At one point, I thought "it's no problem to use it to hit the motherboard". Thanks to the shape of the cyber, the sweet spot and sense of power of the paddle are greatly contributed. We believe that Cyber AC and Cyber CL are likely to continue to surprise us.
Stand tall Felix
The end of the new board for Lebrun Jr. is long overdue. Some time ago, so much so that the author had to comment before he had to evaluate. As the first person in the current straight board in the minds of many people, his bottom plate is indeed expected. Structurally, the combination of lymphatic surface material + Ayous force material + super carbon + Ayous large core reminds people of W968. However, this fiber seems to have never been seen before, so I don't know what kind of touch it will have. Felix's tremendous progress this year has also made people curious, what kind of base can give him enough confidence in the game?
