Features & Highlights

Precision & Control at the Core

• Round / Control-biased Shape: A classic round profile delivers a large, centered sweet spot for predictable, consistent ball striking — ideal for precise placement, defensive play and controlled depth from the baseline. 

• Soft Performance EVA Core: Low-density EVA offers a comfortable feel with excellent ball exit, making it easier to control volleys, dinks and strategic shots while reducing vibration and arm fatigue. 

Advanced Construction & Stability

• Carbon Aluminized 16K Face: High-rigidity carbon ensures solid structural integrity, responsive hits and a stable feel even on decelerated or fast exchanges. 

• Octagonal Structure & Low Poly Frame: Reinforced, angular frame design boosts torsional stability and rigidity, giving cleaner ball exits and repeatable precision on off-center hits. 

Spin, Touch & Shot Versatility

• Spin Blade Decal Texture: Micro-textured surface enhances ball grip at contact, improving spin generation on slices, topspins and tactical placements. 

• Smart Holes Curve: Strategic hole pattern widens the sweet spot and improves feel and consistency across rally types. 

Customization & Comfort

• Weight & Balance System: Adjustable removable weights (up to ~11.2 g) let you fine-tune the racket’s feel — from lighter, more maneuverable for fast defense to slightly heavier for added leverage. 

• Extra Power Grip (Extended Handle): A longer grip increases leverage and stability, particularly on backhands and volleys. 

• Adjustable Rope Cord with Padded Wrist Strap: Ergonomic detail for improved comfort and security during extended play.
