The Kazak D is the slowest and most defensive member of the Kazak series, purpose-built for modern defenders who seek control, spin, and occasional surprise attacks. Featuring a 5+2 inner soft-carbon construction, it delivers an exceptionally plush and muted feel that allows for deep dwell and heavy underspin. Weighing around 91 g with a slim 5.6 mm profile and a compact 157 × 151 mm head, the Kazak D enlarges the control zone, offering a high, safe arc on pushes and chops. The soft carbon adds just enough hidden energy to enable sudden counter-attacks, particularly with a well-timed forehand loop. Pair the backhand with long pips or frictionless pips to maximize spin reversal and placement disruption. For the forehand, a hard tensor or classic tacky Chinese rubber adds the punch needed to turn defense into offense when the moment is right.
