About the Lobwell Arc

Arc is for players who now pick their shots on purpose. The 12K carbon face is stiffer than 3K, so the ball leaves the face exactly where you aim it and attacking volleys come off with real pace. The rough finish grips the ball for slice. You need a cleaner technique to get the best from it than from Ridge or Tor.

  • 12K carbon faces: a tighter weave with a firmer, more precise strike
  • Sand textured surface for more grip on slice, vibora and kick serve
  • Teardrop head with an even to slightly high balance for pace on overheads
  • Medium EVA core that rewards a full swing

Who it suits

Built for regular players who use the walls with confidence. It balances pace and placement.

Questions about the Lobwell Arc

Is the Lobwell Arc good for beginners?

It is designed for intermediate players. Beginners usually do better with a round racket such as Tor.

How heavy is the Lobwell Arc?

It is designed at 360 to 370 g before an overgrip, which adds a few grams.

Does it come with a cover?

Not on its own. The Upgrade Kit includes extras for less than buying them separately, or add a thermal cover.

Can I return it?

Yes, within 30 days if it is unused and in its packaging. See returns.
