The Bourne Summum Carbon Black is a blade intended for intermediate level players who want to take a leap in quality in their game. The black color predominates in its design, giving a sober and elegant touch that contrasts with the striking color of its rubber.

MATERIALS

The Bourne Summum Carbon Black is made using a bidirectional carbon tubular. The core is 38mm SOFTCOLOR CORE EVA rubber of medium hardness, and is laminated through layers of carbon and fiberglass fabric, and reinforced with carbon fiber. All fabrics are impregnated with Varlion's exclusive VAR-FLEX epoxy resin, and covered with a layer of titanium dioxide.

SHAPE

This blade is made with the BOURNE shape, a hybrid that is born from the fusion of the traditional diamond (power blades) and teardrop (balanced blades) shapes. It is an exclusive form of Varlion that adds a control point to the offensive blades, giving us 60% power and 40% control.

TECHNOLOGY

AERODYNAMIC DRILLING

According to studies carried out in fluid software for aerodynamic studies, it has been shown that drilling the center of the blade generates turbulence, which is why the Bourne Summum Carbon Black has a novel drilling system known as Aerodynamic Drilling.

Thanks to this technology we achieve more resistance in the core and greater homogeneity in the hits, which generates an increase in the sweet spot of the blade.

SOFTCOLOR

Softcolor is an aesthetic innovation that colors the rubber to match the aesthetics of the blade. This feature brings a colorful, elegant and novel touch to the Bourne Summum Carbon Black.

SUMMUM TECHNOLOGY

The Summum technology provides three factors that improve the performance of the blade:

- Longer handle than usual: Normally the blades have a 12.5cm handle, but the Summum blades have a 14cm grip, which provides us with a more comfortable and professional grip and extra comfort for players who perform the two-handed backhand.

- A 1 cm longer hitting surface: the largest hitting surface in a professional blade. Thanks to the expansion of the core we get much more control and responsiveness in the game.

- Wings Diffuser Technology: it's a diffuser aerodynamically improved that provides more maneuverability and precision.

HEXAGON FRAME AND PROTECTOR

The Hexagon frame reinforces one of the most sensitive areas of the blade and provides greater resistance to avoid possible breakage.

The Bourne Summum Carbon Black includes an adhesive protector which fits perfectly with this hexagonal frame.

SLICE TEXTURE

Slice is the name given to the most effective rough texture on the market. They are a series of curved lines arranged on the face of the blade in both directions. This allows both left and right handed players to increase spin when hitting slices.
