Technology
POWER BOOST+ FRAME GEOMETRY
Greater ball speed
Larger sweet spot increases ball speed at the top of the racket thanks to added frame thickness at 3~5 and 7~9 o'clock area, which increases racket stiffness.
POWERWAVE GROMMETS
A larger sweet spot
Minimized difference in power level in the top, middle and bottom area of the racket. An even power level throughout the racket creates a larger sweet spot.
POWER BOOST+ GROOVE
High-elasticity & vibration-damping
Deep groove creates a wider sweet spot area & more power, with increased bite and hold for more control.
SONIC CORE MADE WITH INFINERGY BY BASF
Reduced vibrations for more comfort and lower injury risk
Located in both sides of the racket head, Sonic Core with Infinergy is a super-elastic, super-light material and offers rebound properties significantly higher than other materials. Power never felt so good.
