T700 raw carbon and fiberglass are not simply “better” or “worse.” They usually serve different commercial positions.
T700 raw carbon
T700 carbon is commonly selected for premium control and spin-oriented paddles. It gives brands a strong technical story, recognizable surface appearance and a path into higher retail price points.
Typical strengths
- Premium technical positioning
- Control and spin-focused messaging
- Suitable for advanced or committed players
- Works well with 14 mm and 16 mm platforms
Fiberglass and composite
Fiberglass can be useful for beginner paddles, club programs, promotional sets and price-sensitive channels. It also provides flexibility for colorful graphics.
Typical strengths
- Accessible target cost
- Flexible visual design
- Good for sets and entry programs
- Useful for testing a new market
How buyers should choose
Start with the target retail price, player profile, competitive references, order volume and required margin. Material should support the commercial plan, not replace it.
