Outstanding Technologies

1. Carbon T700 Super Rough Surface – Ultimate Power & Spin

The paddle surface is constructed from 03 layers of Carbon T700 Super Rough:

  • Optimal stiffness – fast and powerful response in every shot
  • High grit – superior spin generation, effective for topspin, slice, and sidespin
  • Precise ball control at every touch point – clear and consistent contact feel

2. MATRIX-C Core – PP GREEN Honeycomb

  • Strong elasticity – fast ball rebound, creating significant "pop" power
  • High stability – maintains consistent performance throughout long matches
  • Solid foundation for the entire dual-core system

3. DUALX2-FEC Core (Foam + EVAphylon) – Optimal Vibration Dampening

  • Effective vibration reduction – protects wrists and elbows during long practice sessions
  • Increased control – smooth ball feel, easy power adjustment
  • Smooth ball feel in every play – especially good for dinks and resets

4. DUALxG4 FEC Frame + Full Carbon-Framed – Durable & Sturdy

  • Perfect unibody construction – no weak points, maximum power transfer
  • Increased durability – withstands continuous high-intensity play
  • Increases shot power and overall paddle lifespan

5. TPU Metallic Edgeguard – Impressive & Comprehensive Protection

  • Striking aesthetic highlight – luxurious metallic sheen, easily recognizable on the court
  • Protects the paddle frame from impacts and scratches
  • Enhances balance and reduces impact from hard collisions

14 mm vs 16 mm – Which Thickness to Choose?

  • 14 mm: Leans towards maximum speed and power – ideal for players who enjoy strong smashes and cross-court drives
  • 16 mm: Leans towards control and stability – suitable for tactical players who prioritize precise dinks and resets

Real-World Experience

When you pick up the DIAMOND VST on the court, the first thing you feel is its sturdiness and premium quality – the hot-pressed full-body Full Carbon-Framed structure creates a seamless, unibody feel with no weak points.

The 3-layer Carbon T700 Super Rough surface generates ultimate spin power – topspin shots "bite" the ball incredibly clearly, resulting in deep, hard-to-return shots. The MATRIX-C + DUALX2-FEC dual-core system performs remarkably: the PP Honeycomb core provides strong "pop" power, while the Foam + EVAphylon layer absorbs vibrations and delivers a smooth ball feel. The TPU Metallic edgeguard is not just aesthetically pleasing but also enhances balance – making the paddle more stable during off-center hits.
