The "darling" of Varlion, in the version 4 has seen the light in this 2011. The most anticipated, most dear, which everyone says is the best blade paddle, and also the most expensive.
Varlion is a English company, which in recent years has led the market paddle blades. This leadership position has been through the quality des their different models, but mainly to the success of the Lethal Weapon Carbon (LWC). A model with excellent performance, with a good balance power-control and excellent durability (except direct clashes strong:)). The model we are discussing today is that of 2011, LWC4.

With the first ball hit us realize that we have in hand a well-balanced blade a very wide sweet spot and balance, perhaps a little high. The firm that gives to shovel their carbon frame makes it conveys the feeling when hitting the blade is solid, vibration-free. Overzize its shape and good weight distribution make the assembly of the coup is rapid.
If anything characterizes the LWC range is the control that we won our game. In this model the large sweet spot of the blade enables us to defend those balls where we need the shovel as our impact on it has not been entirely correct. The LWC4 game gives us so much control. This control is derived from the strength that give the coup mixture carbon frame and the implementation of EVA. The boat soon the behavior of the blade is appropriate.
amazing thing about this model with respect to the previous year's earning potential. It is responsible for implementing the EVA Hypersoft, already used last year in carbon Varlion overframe. This less rigid EVA gives more power to the coup. As we have said, the blade has good control but missed the game more than met, although not a blade with extreme power, but the carbon in their outer core support will fulfill this function .
The blade has the typical design Varlion years ago surprised by the novelty, but today it no longer stands out. The new blades have other suitable designs of the times. As we always say, is not to our liking, but to win games not think it is necessary for sales ... do not know ... everyone likes!. However, unless these issues under design, finish is flawless and the durability of the fixtures we believe is the best in the market.
This is another of the strengths of this blade. Those who have been holders of a LWC attest to this, and today is one of the toughest models in the market. The quality of materials used in construction are the key to it. The manufacturer stands apart from the quality of materials used, the fact of being manufactured in Spain.

Making the announcement of the BMW brand cars, if you like to paddle, this is your shovel!. It is very hard to disappoint you the truth, so offset control-power ratio, the firm that appears in the beating, manageability for its good balance of weight and durability that we mentioned above. But everyone likes, that is number one in sales does not mean you have to be necessarily the best scoop. The best blade is the one that you feel better in your game!.
In short, we have no objection, well, unless the price, which will discuss below.
So yeah, it's true that the price may scare more than one, 298 €, making it now. Being manufactured in Spain and the cost of the various quality materials, especially carbon fiber, make the price is quite Varlion saltier than other premium blades. However, durability of the model make us believe what we prefer, a Varlion LWC4 for 2011 or two blades of 120 € midrange? (Which tend to be ready at 6 months if you are a regular Stake). The choice is yours!.
