On-court performance

Power and responsiveness

The X-EVA core features a sandwich structure with three layers: two firm outer layers provide explosive response for smashes, while the flexible inner layer gives added control during softer shots. This makes the racket ideal for powerful yet precise offensive play.

Spin and surface grip

With 3D SPIN+ technology, the surface includes a textured sand-like finish with raised patterns. This allows you to generate more spin and effect, whether you’re slicing at the net or launching deep topspin shots from the baseline.

Comfort and shock absorption

The VIBRABSORB SYSTEM², powered by SMAC, uses elastomer inserts in both the core and the handle. This innovation significantly reduces vibrations and protects your arm, especially during long or high-intensity matches.

Smart adaptability

The SMART BUTTCAP system allows you to easily remove or replace the wrist strap for hygiene or personalization. It’s a simple but useful feature, especially for frequent players.
