You will see numbers like 3K, 12K and 18K on padel rackets. They describe the carbon fiber used in the racket face.
What does 12K mean?
The K stands for thousands of filaments. A 12K carbon tow contains roughly 12,000 carbon filaments twisted together. The number describes how the fiber is woven, not a simple quality score.
How does it feel on court?
12K carbon is commonly chosen for a firm, responsive feel with a clean, crisp ball exit. It is a popular choice for players who want power and precision from the same racket.
Why we chose 12K
Every ONEKARBN racket uses 12K carbon fiber. Each racket is quality checked in Dubai before it reaches you.
