The racket face is constructed from high-quality 24K Carbon, providing a firm and stable feel on the ball. The carbon structure offers direct response on impact and helps efficiently transfer the energy of your stroke to the ball.
The racket face features a 3D surface with a textured finish, providing extra grip on the ball upon contact. This makes it easier to generate spin and slice, adding more variety to your game.
This texture especially shines during bandejas, víboras, slices and other technical shots.
The EVA core has a medium hardness and provides a well-balanced blend of comfort, control and responsiveness. The core absorbs part of the impact while ensuring plenty of speed on attacking shots.
As a result, the racket remains forgiving on off-centre hits while giving you plenty of power when you swing through with full commitment.
Vibradrive technology features an elastic dampening system integrated along the length of the handle. This effectively reduces unwanted vibrations, especially on off-centre hits.
This ensures greater comfort, improved feel and extra control during every rally, all while reducing strain on your arm and wrist.
