carbon layer is G-Carbon, G stand for Glass Fiber, it was changed to AD-Carbon
for Rutis Power, AD-Carbon and FE-Carbon are two types of new material
introduced by Nittaku in 2014, FE-Carbon used by Acoustic Carbon whereas
AD-Carbon adopted by Rutis Power, AD-Carbon is a highly compacted carbon
structure, stronger offensive with higher bounciness, we also noticed that the center
ply thickness for Rutis Power is thicker than Rutis, however overall thickness
is less than Rutis; in this case, the AD-Carbon played an important role to
produce more power as compared to Rutis even though thickness reduced.
The AD Carbon layer is placed at 2nd
layer, Rutis Power increased solidity as compared to Rutis, it reduces the
vibration feel and increase bounciness, and enhanced its speed, longer
trajectory as well as upgraded its offensiveness.
