Key Technologies & Features

• 2G-NANOMESH NEO:
  A next-generation material that enhances the bond between graphite layers, increasing both frame strength and flexibility. This results in better energy transfer, more repulsion, and improved stability during fast rallies.

• CSR Frame (Carbon Sizing Reinforced):
  Strengthens the frame structure, providing higher durability and reduced deformation during powerful shots. It ensures consistent shuttle flight and improved control even under high string tensions.

• Built-in T-Joint:
  Enhances the connection between the frame and shaft, minimizing torque and improving shot accuracy. It provides a solid feel and enhanced shuttle stability during impact.

• 10 mm Longer Frame Design:
  Adds extra reach and leverage, giving players an advantage in clears, smashes, and defensive retrievals. The additional length also improves shuttle trajectory control.

• Head-Heavy Balance:
  Distributes more weight towards the top of the racket for added momentum and power, particularly useful for players who rely on attacking shots from the back court.
