The Tricarbon 18K carbon layer consists of ultra-fine carbon fibers woven in three directions.

This construction provides a solid and direct response, while the racket bounces back quickly after ball contact for extra acceleration and power on attacking shots.

The MultiEVA core is built from three EVA layers with different densities.

The harder outer layers deliver extra power and a powerful response on volleys and smashes, while the softer inner layer offers more comfort, control, and ball output on slower shots.

The redesigned 3D Grain texture features a rough relief with concentric patterns on the racket face.

This increases grip on the ball at impact, making it easier to add spin and effect to shots like volleys, bandejas, and víboras.

The Hesacore grip features an ergonomic honeycomb design that increases contact between your hand and the handle.

As a result, the racket feels firmer and more comfortable in your hand, giving you more control during fast shots while reducing strain on your hand, wrist, and forearm.
