Target Player Profile

This racket is specifically designed for intermediate to advanced tennis players who exhibit an aggressive baseline game and are seeking a racket capable of producing maximum power and spin potential, coupled with notable improvements in comfort and stability.

Key Technologies

• Power Wave: This innovative grommet strip design features a "wave" pattern, allowing the strings to stretch and move with greater freedom. This increased string movement maximises the trampoline effect, resulting in explosive power and an expanded sweet spot.
• Power Boost + Groove: Working in synergy with Power Wave, this technology incorporates a precisely engineered groove carved into the frame, located beneath the grommets. This design facilitates greater frame deformation upon impact, further amplifying both striking power and overall comfort.
• Vibroshield: A paramount innovation for enhanced comfort. A highly absorbent, elastic material is seamlessly integrated directly into the racket's bridge (heart). This technology specifically targets and neutralises harmful vibrations at their source, delivering an exceptionally pure and clean hitting sensation.
• Sonic Core Tech: Complementing Vibroshield, this highly reactive urethane material (Infinergy® from BASF) is strategically placed at the 2 and 10 o'clock positions in the racket head. It effectively reduces shock, improves energy return, and significantly boosts the frame's torsional stability.
• Power Grid: An optimised 16x19 string pattern geometry. The strings are more widely spaced towards the top of the racket head (where modern players typically strike the ball), which broadens the ideal hitting zone and enhances ball bite for maximum spin potential.
