TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Weight (unstrung racket)

285 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 racquet, 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

645 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

72 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.

Inertia (unstrung racket)

SW = 285

Swingweight: This characterizes both the maneuverability of the racket and its ability to transfer energy to the ball (power). The higher a racket's inertia, the more powerful it is, but the more difficult it is to handle. Conversely, the lower a racket's inertia, the more maneuverable but less powerful it is. Inertia is largely the result of the racquet's weight, balance and length.

Stringing plan

16 x 19

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.

HTR System

This High Torsional Rigidity (HTR) system has been added to the frame's composition to increase its rigidity, thus enhancing the feeling of power and explosiveness.

SWX Pure Feel

New technology featuring SMAC technology, a revolutionary anti-vibration system integrated into the composition of the racket, for exceptional sensations at the moment of impact and a unique sound with every strike.

Elliptic Frame

Elliptical section for optimum strength and overall rigidity for a more powerful feel.

FSI Power Technology

A system that facilitates interaction between frame and string. Combined with an open 16 x 19 string pattern and diamond eye shapes, this widens the centering zone for a superior feel of power.
