On-court performance

Power and control

The Pro Touch rubber core strikes a perfect balance between firmness and flexibility. You’ll feel the ball sink into the racket with controlled rebound, allowing for powerful overheads and confident volleys, without sacrificing precision.

Spin and touch

The Racing Tech surface adds multidirectional roughness, enhancing your ability to generate topspin and slice. Paired with the 12K Carbon double-layer face, the feel is soft but responsive, giving you more control in varied match situations.

Stability and maneuverability

The Hepta Bridge design stabilizes the heart of the racket with a unique 7-sided geometry, which absorbs vibrations and increases handling speed. Combined with the Airflow Design indentations along the edge, you get better racket head speed and overall responsiveness.

Comfort and injury prevention

The Noene Inside grip technology reduces up to 96% of harmful vibrations. Along with the Longer Handgrip Technology, which provides more grip space, this makes the racket ideal for two-handed shots and long matches.
