Racquet Technology

• Parallel Drilling grommet construction provides a consistent, more forgiving string bed response while dramatically increasing the sweet spot.
• FORTYFIVE° patent-protected frame layup produces a more connected-to-the-ball feel while better complementing the more modern, vertical swing path. The material increases both flexibility and stability without compromise through the swing.
• Basalt Graphite + Basalt elastic and reactive material combination improves flexibility to increase ball contact for an enhanced feel and greater control.
• Top Grip Taper lends a better feel for top-handed grip placement on two-handed backhands.
• DirectConnect carbon fiber handle extends to connect with the end cap for improved feel and enhanced torsional stability.
