SAY IT WITH ME: two hundred and seventy-six grams. STRUNG. That is 9.7 ounces of racquet in your hand and one point head light, and if you have spent five years being told that light frames are for people who are not serious, BOOM — here comes the correction, and it comes fast, because that is the entire point. Head speed.
Head speed is spin, head speed is depth, head speed is getting the frame round in time when a good player rushes you. This thing is quick.
Crush Zone is a grommet system that actually compresses at impact — the strings sink further, the ball stays on longer, and the sweet spot gets bigger. SI3D controls how the frame bends in three dimensions so the power comes out pointed somewhere rather than everywhere.
Look at what they packed into it.
FORTYFIVE° construction keeps it stable when a heavy ball arrives, which is the thing light racquets historically could not do and this one can. Dual-tapered beam — 24 millimetres, 26.5, 24.25 — for power without losing forgiveness.
One hundred square inches, 645 square centimetres, 27 inches, swingweight 291, flex 65, 16 by 19, strung at 50 to 60 pounds, grips L0 to L3, plant-based bumper and grommet materials, and that electric indigo finish. LOOK AT IT.
Velenje earned this. They did not hide it. They walk around it.
The town dug the coal out from under itself, and where the ground came away, water came in and made a lake.
