Outstanding Technologies
1. Carbon T700 Super Rough Surface – Ultimate Power & Spin
The paddle surface is constructed from 03 layers of Carbon T700 Super Rough:

- 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

- Increases shot power and overall paddle lifespan
5. TPU Metallic Edgeguard – Impressive & Comprehensive Protection

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.
