Roller Technology

Rollers take the place of conventional grommets in a racquet head and allow the strings to move 31.5% more than conventional grommets resulting in maximum energy transfer.

Hyper Carbon

Lightest, stiffest and strongest material ever used in racquets. Engineered to give increased stiffness and torsional stability for both power and control.

Power Holes

Large grommet holes anchor cross strings at outside, not inside, of frame. Provides more string response resulting in more power, feel and omfort.

Air Hammer System

Combines light weight with head heavy balance to put weight at the impact point to raise the sweetspot and maximize power.

E-Force Technologies

Full Motion Cross String Technology

extends the effective length of the cross strings and allows them to move unrestricted...overcoming the string-binding effect of standard-sized holes or slots, and creates a livelier string bed with maximum power at ball impact.

Fiber Alignment Technology (F.A.T.) Zones

designed to make the frame stronger, stiffer and more powerful. F.A.T. Zones are locatred in the sharply curved parts of the frame, traditionally the weakest part of the frame because of fiber bcukling and wrinkling that occurs when bending the mold layup around the sharp angles. F.A.T. Zones soften the bend and minimize the wrinkling.
