Innovative Technologies

Dual Exoskeleton

To unleash maximum power, the racket must remain as rigid as possible under any circumstances. This technology provides a significant reinforcement through a double insertion of carbon fibers in the core and frame of the racket, two key areas.

Spin Blade Mold

Effects come forth easily thanks to the roughness embedded in the mold of the racket that incorporates this technology. Its 3D relief increases the grip of the surface to generate effects more smoothly.

Power Embossed Ridge

Maximum power arises from a racket with the highest rigidity. For this, reinforcements are crucial. This carbon rib located on the outer part of the frame substantially increases resistance to torsion during powerful impacts with the ball.

First Impressions

The first thing we notice about this racket is its great maneuverability as soon as we pick it up, a strong point that we sense will help us a lot in defending and playing control balls. The Spin Blade, a technology with rough texture embedded directly in the mold of the racket, is one of the most notable available today in rackets, and the fact that it is printed directly in the mold makes it very durable.

At the back of the court, this racket is very easy to defend with. We highlight the great sweet spot it has, which allows for good hitting sensations even if we stray from the central area. This allows us to place the ball where we want with little effort, even at lower speeds. When we are at higher tempos, we will notice that the reactivity of the rubber allows us to defend easily and generate shots with a very short arm motion.

At the net, we found a racket that is very easy to handle. When we play trays or viboras, the pronounced Spin Blade gives us the ability to play with many effects, thus compensating for any lack of power it may have. In volley, the racket offers good ball exit thanks to the reactive rubber, allowing the ball to gain speed and making it easier to aim for lift shots towards the fence.

Perhaps we face the biggest drawback of this racket, as we know that power and control are inversely related. However, even though a good level of effort is required to bring the ball, we have noticed that the effect of the racket allows us to send the ball out with some ease.
