ParabolicActivity 48 Report post Posted November 29, 2018 What does this actually mean? For some reason I get the feeling that they are using fancy words to describe what might actually amount to a reduction in quality. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neo5370 132 Report post Posted November 29, 2018 (edited) Fancy words? Probably. Reduction in quality? Dunno. But it is a super vague term. Advanced compared to what? The way they layered carbon 5 years ago? 40 years ago? Carbon layering? As in the process by which most carbon sticks are made? As Don Draper once said of Lucky Strike tobacco, "It's toasted." Personally, I can't believe I used to eat this stuff up as a kid. Now, it really turns me off. A lot. Edited November 29, 2018 by Neo5370 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leif 160 Report post Posted November 29, 2018 I assume this is ACL used by Bauer? No idea what it is, but in general their products are full of technology described using marketing bull along the lines of PowerTech, EnergyLite and so on. I read the marketing speak and turn off. Sometimes the technology such as Curv is genuinely good stuff, but I wish they would talk in normal language rather than marketing hyperbole/bull, so that I can understand WTF they mean.

steve66 45 Report post Posted November 29, 2018 It's an updated construction process with carbon that is claimed to be thinner and stronger. Less material, plus less glue/resin helps make a lighter stick. Advanced compared to construction without it i assume. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jamarquan 201 Report post Posted November 29, 2018 I can't remember where I saw it, but Bauer removed a layer of carbon fiber from the blade to reduce weight. Presumably, each layer that remains is strengthened in some way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ParabolicActivity 48 Report post Posted November 29, 2018 So it's less carbon fiber with the same strength and feel? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yan 2 Report post Posted November 30, 2018 it's carbon layered by someone with an advanced degree. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
