THE ZOWIE GEAR G-TF SPEED VERSION PAD
ZOWIE GEAR is a company almost as new as Corepad and they’ve sent us a total of 2 cloth pads, the G-TF and P-TF speed versions.
The G-TF speed version is an extra-large cloth pad featuring a water resistant texture and measuring 440mm in length, 320mm in width and 2mm in height.
Plenty of surface to go around for even the most demanding gamers.
The triple-stitched round edges should add to the overall durability of the G-TF pad.
I was a bit surprised to see the new rubber anti-glide material used by ZOWIE GEAR since it looks too glossy and so i really thought it wouldn't be very good, however i was wrong.
CONCLUSION
Without doubt ZOWIE has manufactured one of the best cloth pads I’ve used in my entire life with near-excellent tracking precision (for a cloth pad) and that alone is a huge success especially since we are talking about one of the new kids on the block. Quality is also great and so this line of pads should be able to withstand quite a bit of punishment.
THE ZOWIE GEAR P-TF SPEED VERSION PAD
The P-TF Speed Version is a medium sized cloth (fiber) pad, features the same water resistant texture and measures 320mm in height, 250mm in width and 2mm in height.
For most gamers the provided surface should be more than enough but for hardcore gamers i think the G-TF is a better overall choice.
The P-TF pad also features the same triple-stitched round edges just like its larger brother.
Although I’ve used each of the ZOWIE GEAR pads for almost 10 days i still can't believe that the rear glossy rubber anti-glide surface works as advertised but it does.
CONCLUSION
If you switch from the G-TF speed pad over to the P-TF speed pad you can't really tell them apart in terms of tracking performance, however you will certainly feel the difference in size (XL vs. medium) which is perhaps the only negative thing about it.
