Features & Highlights

Control & Maneuverability

• Round Head Shape: Enlarges the sweet spot and places more weight near the handle for predictable and stable control, especially on defensive exchanges and placement shots.

• Medium/Even Balance: Ideal for tactical players seeking balance between control and responsive access to offensive shots.

• Lightweight Construction: At 345–360 g, the lighter build improves swing speed and agility, reducing fatigue and allowing faster reaction time across the court.

Materials & Structural Tech

• Soft Performance EVA Core: Low-density foam delivers comfortable ball feel, smooth rebounds and excellent vibration absorption — ideal for long rallies and controlled play.

• Fiberglass Face: Offers a forgiving, elastic surface with a soft touch and improved bounce, supporting technical progression and consistent control.

• Octagonal Structure: The reinforced carbon tubular frame reduces torsion and improves shot precision when transitioning between defense and offensive opportunities.

• Low Poly Frame Design: A polyhedral geometry that boosts stiffness and stability without adding weight.

Effects & Comfort Technologies

• Spin Blade Gritt Surface: Rough, sand-textured finish increases ball grip to apply spin more effectively in tactical situations.

• Smart Holes Curve: Strategic hole pattern enhances the centered sweet spot and shot stability.

• Extra Power Grip (EPG): Slightly elongated handle increases inertia and leverage for deeper placements and offensive touches when needed.

• Metalbone Protector Tape: Durable edge protection helps extend racket life during frequent play.

• Adjustable Rope-Type Wrist Cord: New for 2026, a padded wrist strap improves comfort and grip security.
