Description from manufacturer
LW Carbon 8 Prisma 2022 is the successor to the very popular LW Carbon 7 from the previous collection. New for the 2022 model is that the racket now features Varlion's groundbreaking and unique PRISMA frame. The racket has an incredibly nice feel and a lot of control! If you want to put speed on the ball, you can easily do that too. LW Carbon 8 Prisma, as the name reveals, has been equipped with Varlion's unique PRISMA frame. The PRISMA frame provides better aerodynamics and cuts through the air to allow you to have a faster swing with 10% reduced air resistance, while the outermost edge of the frame is reduced by 90% and is only a few millimeters wide to give you the smallest possible contact area that can hit the glass when you dig deep for balls. All this results in better maneuverability of the racket and greater acceleration capacity on hits. On the other hand, we have reinforced its most delicate tip (the head) with an adhesive bumper that perfectly adapts to its shape, the Prisma bumper. This not only covers the frame but also its connection to the racket's face. Just like previous years, the racket retains its round and generous shape and has a large and generous sweet spot. As in all Varlion's rackets, the LW Carbon 8 Prisma also has holes drilled in different sizes, something Varlion calls Gradual Holes. This means that the holes are made smaller in the middle to allow you to have as much hitting surface under the ball as possible, and then made larger as they get closer to the frame. The reason for this is that you as a player should have a larger sweet spot, regardless of the model, and a more forgiving feel. The racket's core is medium-hard and provides a good bounce on the ball but can also withstand when you press extra hard. On the surface, Varlion, in an exclusive collaboration with Italy's largest manufacturer of carbon fiber, has used a 3K carbon fiber that is also used by well-known brands like Ferrari. The carbon fiber holds a higher standard than usual and also provides more performance. When it comes to applying effects on hits, it presents a rough texture on the plane called Slice, which has been designed and developed with a series of curved lines that make the ball grip more. As these contours are molded into the surface, the structure will never disappear. Unique to Varlion's rackets is also the way the safety strap is attached to the handle itself instead of the knob. This means that the safety strap is more or less impossible to tear off. If you are instead looking for a racket with a bit more power, we recommend the Bourne Prisma Carbon 2. Or if you're just looking for a slightly lighter control racket, we recommend the LW Carbon 8 Prisma Pansy.

Missing the final punch in the smash. Some lobs tend to fall short. Playing with an LWC 7.3
