However, like fiberglass carbon needs to be fully stretched like a guitar string or bow to give you the most pop.

This means the carbon is stretched and epoxied to 9oz fiberglass at the carbon fiber factory under perfect conditions prior to us receiving it. This pre-cured carbon laminate is twice the cost but also gives you many more times the performance.
