Playing level: advanced or professional
This racket is designed for advanced or professional players looking for a powerful, lightweight, maneuverable weapon with excellent durability.
Game type: Powerful
Thanks to its diamond shape and performance, the Vertex SMU 03 is an innovative racket. Its carbon composition and head balance promote maximum power at impact and optimize ball control.
Balance: High
This is the racquet's balance point, measured in millimeters from the bottom of the racquet (handle).
The higher this value (head balance), the greater the racquet's power and stability, and the heavier it will feel (even if the weight isn't high). However, it will be less maneuverable. Conversely, the smaller this value (handle balance), the more maneuverable the snowshoe, but the less powerful and stable it will be.
Weight: 365-375 g
Like balance, weight influences the racket's inertia, and therefore its maneuverability, stability and ability to transfer energy to the ball (power). The heavier the racquet, the more energy it will transfer to the ball, but the less maneuverability it will have. Conversely, the lighter the racket, the more maneuverable it will be, yet it will transfer less energy to the ball.
External Material: Glaphite
Glaphite is a blend of glass fibre and carbon. It provides good control for precision attacking and excellent feel when striking.
Internal material: MultiEva
MultiEva foam is composed of two densities. The outer layer is more compact and responds to the fastest balls, offering maximum power at ball exit. On the other hand, the inner layer has a lower density and responds to slower balls for greater control when striking.
Carbon Tube technology
Carbon fibers (100% carbon) located in the frame of the snowshoe, interlaced in different directions to guarantee a compromise between power and control.
Vertex technology
The racket's carefully designed core distributes forces and weight evenly, reducing vibration, minimizing torsion and increasing rigidity. The diamond shape in combination with this technology provides greater solidity on volleys and powerful shots.
Top Spin technology
Rough surface finish facilitates grip, allowing the ball to remain in contact with the racket for longer, optimizing spin and output.
VibraDrive technology
Mounting system located on the handle of the racket, into which a high-density foam is inserted. This part absorbs most of the vibrations that occur during play, generally with off-center balls.
Nerve technology
Channels on the edge of the frame reduce weight and increase rigidity. What's more, with this technology you get more control on the fly.
