Weight (unstrung racket)
275 grams
Weight: Mass is actually measured in grams. Like balance and length, weight influences the racket's inertia, and therefore its maneuverability, stability and ability to transfer energy to the ball (power). The heavier the racket, the more energy it can transfer to the ball, but the less maneuverability it is likely to have. Conversely, the lighter it is, the more maneuverable it is, but the less energy it transfers to the ball.
Balance (unstrung racket)
32 cm
Balance: This is the racquet's balance point, measured in centimetres from the bottom of the racquet (handle). The higher the value (head balance), the more powerful and stable the snowshoe is at impact, but the less maneuverable it is. Conversely, the smaller this value (handle balance), the more maneuverable the snowshoe, but the less powerful and stable it is at impact.
Sieve size
660 cm²
Headsize: This is the surface area in cm² of the racket's head. It has an impact on the racquet's feeling of forgiveness and power. The larger the headsize, the more powerful and forgiving the racket, but the less control it feels. Conversely, the smaller the headsize, the more control but the less power and forgiveness.
Rigidity
64 Ra
Ra: Defines the racket's rigidity, i.e. its ability to deform under ball impact. The stiffer the racket (i.e., the higher the Ra), the less it deforms on impact. The energy lost by the racket on impact is thus minimized and returned to the ball via the string. It's often said that the stiffer a racket, the more powerful it is.
Stringing plan
16x18
String pattern: the number of uprights (vertical strings) x the number of crosspieces (horizontal strings). The more strings a string pattern has, the more "closed" it is, and the fewer strings it has, the more "open" it is. The more closed the string pattern, the more control it provides, but less power or spin. Conversely, the more open the string pattern, the more power and spin it provides, but less control.
Length
68.5 cm
Length: This is the length of the racket from the bottom of the handle to the top of the headgrille, measured in centimetres. The longer the snowshoe, the more powerful it feels, but the less maneuverable it is. Conversely, the shorter it is, the more maneuverable it is, but the less power it provides.
Woofer System
Frame-string link system: longer contact time between ball and string for greater control and a more comfortable feel.
Spin Alpha
The aeromodular frame has been redesigned and improved with an all-new 16x18 string pattern, making it easier to start generating spin on the ball. The improved trampoline effect will deliver easier power with less energy.
EVO FEEL
Enhanced SMAC EX technology for maximum benefit. Located in four key areas of the aeromodular frame, the viscoelastic material absorbs vibrations and provides a softer sound at the moment of impact, giving a pleasant feeling of comfort.
