Metallix Series
Made of a specially designed matrix of carbon fibres and a new crystalline metal alloy, Metallix is one of the lightest and strongest new materials available today. The alloys grain size is 1000 times smaller than that of a typical metal. The decreased grain size translates into increased performance or as the Hall Petch Effect states: smaller grains stronger material . The result is a lighter stronger and more powerful racket than ever before.

Head Metallix is incorporated into the graphite layers around the racket head and at the T joint. On the Metallix 10000 and 8000 rackets, Head Metallix has been placed at 2, 5 ,7 and 10 o’clock around the head. The result is frames that are incredibly strong and durable with minimal torque for more speed, power and accuracy , smash after smash.

Toe Cap
Heads new Top Cap creates a flat top surface on the handle, providing excellent hold on serving , maximum grip control for doubles play and optimal handling , for fast speed reaction.
