Made in Japan   Product Technology ISOMETRIC RACQUET SHAPE For Enhanced Sweet Spot A square-shaped ISOMETRICTM racquet generates a 7% larger sweet spot for greater control without sacrificing power. Developed over 30 years ago, the ISOMETRIC™ design increases the sweet spot by 7%*. Compared to a conventional round frame, a square-shaped ISOMETRIC™ racquet generates a larger sweet spot by optimizing the intersection of the main and cross strings. ISOMETRIC™ technology delivers greater control without sacrificing power. QUAD FORCE GEAR For a larger sweet spot and improved maneuverability  The four corner grommets are integrated within the frame structure to improve maneuverability and increase the cross-section height for increased frame stability and power. Ergo Power Grip Added comfort and power A tapered grip shape gradually thickens from the top of the grip to the butt cap for a greater contact area with the handle making it easier to grip the racquet Throat Trench For a larger sweet spot Grommets are sunk into frame at the yoke increasing the length of the main strings  REACT RESIN Lightweight and flexible By incorporating a unique material, React Resin, into the graphite, the racquet becomes lighter and more flexible for a comfortable feel. Tri-Shut System Less strain on the arm A three-part technology system that reduces harsh vibrations:  1. Shockless Grommets – absorb harsh vibrations from the string bed and withstand re-strings 2. VIBSLAYER CARBON – increases shock absorption at the top of the frame while maintaining power 3. VDM (Vibration Dampening Mesh) – filters unwanted vibrations within the grip Liner Tech For improved power and comfort Straight hole grommets elongate the strings to optimize power and comfort on off-center shots.
