The Carbon Hype Gen 2 is Lok's mid-priced dose of the Hype formula: a head-heavy 375 g diamond with an EVA core, power 85, and a strike that makes no attempt to soften its intentions. Drives land heavy, the overhead finishes, and value 78 keeps the invoice rational. The terms are unedited attack-frame terms: control 70 wants a plan, comfort 65 and tolerance 64 want conditioning, and the net game wants anticipation. Face documentation is incomplete, so verify in hand. For improving attackers who want maximum pace per euro and accept the contract, the Hype Gen 2 delivers.

Heavyweight hitting, rational invoice
Lok's mid-priced dose of the formula: unfiltered directness, drives that land heavy, an overhead that finishes, and an invoice that stays rational throughout. The build quality keeps punching up at the big brands. The terms are unedited attack-frame terms despite the intermediate label — strict on comfort and mishits — and the face spec is incomplete, so check the specimen in hand.
