Weight (unstrung racket)
320 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)
31.5 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
632 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
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 =
Swingweight: It characterizes the racquet's maneuverability 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
68.58 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.
Section (in mm):
Cross-section (in mm): 23.2 mm / 24 mm / 22 mm
Braid 45 technology
Some of the racket's graphite fibers have been strategically braided at a 45-degree angle to guarantee greater power, ball penetration and stability.
Glide guard
The barrel band and rushes are smooth and allow better racquet head speed.
Feel fill
The snowshoe is fitted with PU-filled foam to absorb vibrations.
SABR
SABR frame design for excellent performance versatility, allowing changes of pace, rotation and direction.
Design
Pure and essential, worked down to the last detail with ROGER FEDERER.
