Technologies:
Fiberglass 3k (fg3)

Fiberglass fabric with three layers that generates a greater degree of thickness, which promotes the resistance and durability of the product.

Hr3 hard

High density core of tinted hr3 rubber, providing great power and a feeling of firmness in the stroke.

Exclusive spin

Technology that includes two types of rough finish on the surface of the surface: the hexagonal 3d located in the center of the racket and the sandblasted finish on the rest. This achieves a greater grip on the ball and the possibility of pressing greater effects to the strokes.

Anti vibration system (avs)

Rubber pieces embedded in the frame of the racket to absorb possible vibrations that occur when the ball is not hit in the center of the racket.

Dynamic composite structure (dcs)

With the use of more material from the frame to four centimeters inside the surface, we ensure that the difference in hardness between the frame and the surface is not noticeable. This reduces the risk of fiber breakage when the ball is hit with the outside of the racket.

Carbon frame

Carbon frame. The use of this material in the frames provides more rigidity and durability to the frame and racket in general.

Smartstrap

The new smart strap is the latest technology implemented in the new collection of rackets, allowing you to easily and quickly change the grip strap.
