The two most critical elements in a high performance composite structure are fiber alignment and proper resin saturation. Waviness of fibers, or pools and voids of resin, create weak spots. Prepreg material has the resin introduced into the individual fibers by computer controlled instruments capable of maintaining exact specifications. As you can imagine, this is very difficult to control. It is impossible for wet lay up parts to match the consistency of Prepreg.
Masts constructed with the ring or criss-cross carbon alignments are easier and cheaper to build.
However, the properties of the carbon fiber are not fully utilized and these masts tend to feel heavier and less responsive. This is because the resin, not the carbon is carrying much of your rig's load. The translation - responsive reactions with more power and a snappy feel. NoLimitz Micro Laminate Technology NoLimitz uses multiple layers of unidirectional carbon and biazial glass fibers, in combination with varying resin systems. Carbon fiber is stiff and brittle.
