End Cap with Ergonomic Design improves comfort and playability. The combination of braided graphite and basalt enhances a racket’s flex for improved feel and control.

Braided Graphite + Basalt – A mix of elastic and reactive materials enhances a racket’s flex to maximize ball contact with the strings for improved feel and control.

Parallel Drilling – Grommet structure ensures a more constant, forgiving string bed response while also significantly expanding the sweet spot.

Top Grip Taper – On the two-handed backhand, the tapered grip provides superior feel for top-handed grip placement.
