Power Angle Anti-Vibe Angle

PowerAngle Diagonal strings are equal in length, and disperse the vibration and impact of the ball evenly around the frame. The patented, PowerAngle Diagonal String Technology sets PowerAngle Rackets apart from all the other rackets on the market. Conventionally-strung rackets have horizontal and vertical strings that are unequal in length. These different-length sets of strings vibrate at different frequencies and do not disperse the impact of the ball evenly.

EASIEST ON THE ARM PowerAngle Diagonal String Technology disperses impact better, away from the racket handle and PowerAngle Rackets are the most comfortable to use. Doctors and tennis coaches endorse PowerAngle, confirming that less effort is needed to hit a ball solidly. The longer, Diagonal strings absorb the shock of the ball best, thus protecting the muscles and joints of the shoulder, arm, elbow, wrist, and hand from undue stress.

SWEET SPOT IS BIGGER AND BALANCED = MORE POWER Diagonals create a bigger, more-balanced, sweet spot. The two sets of Diagonals in PowerAngle Rackets are symmetrical and overall more resilient, thus MORE POWERFUL. The Diagonals of PowerAngle Rackets form a stronger weave that is easy on the arm but punishing on the ball. The speed of playersÕ serves increases up to 15%.

BETTER TRACTION = MORE CONTROL PowerAngle Diagonal strings have angled openings between the strings that grab the ball best, allowing added spin, with superb control. Wider spacing between strings adds additional dwell time. The traction of the Diagonal pattern is more functional, like the Diagonal treads on tires. The ball stays on the Diagonal strings longer, THUS MORE CONTROL

EASY TO STRING PowerAngle Rackets have dot-to-dot number markings on each frame and are as easy to string as conventionally strung frames.

EXTENDED STRING LIFE PowerAngle Diagonals last longer than conventional stringing because the Diagonal angles form a more secure weave. Diagonal strings move less. Therefore, there is less friction between strings and the Diagonal strings last up to 5 times longer than conventionally strung rackets.

Tecnifibre TexAlium

Texalium, developed by Hexcel, is primarily used in the aircraft and spacecraft industries. This composite fiber with its specific weave pattern creates strength while being lightweight. Tecnifibre achieves desired benefits by using Texalium reinforcements at key positions on the Tennis Racquets:

* Provides Torsion Stability to Improve Accuracy
* Enhances Feel for more Control
* Dampens Vibration for Added Comfort

Tecnifibre TEC System

The TEC (Tennis Elbow Care) System was developed by Tecnifibre to provide a real solution to tennis elbow problems. Harmful racquet vibration sources are isolated from the rest of the frame, thanks to the TEC System elastomer sockets. As a result, low frequency vibrations, which are responsible for the sharp pain of Lateral Epicondylitis tennis elbow, are better filtered.

Tecnifibre NEO Touch

This patented concept allows a great for a great deal of comfort at the point of impact and significantly reduces racquet shock. The elastomer inserts in the shaft of the racquet provide vibration absorption without filtering out feel.
