- Innegra™ technology – vibration damping and stability to reduce arm fatigue.
- Integrated Protector System (IPS) – a pre-moulded carbon bumper shields the frame from chips and scratches for longer life.

Performance Overview
Designed for juniors moving towards higher-level play, this racket gives a confident punch without sacrificing control. Power Foam and the fibreglass surface combine bold, attacking shots with a comfortable touch, while Innegra dampens vibration to keep players fresher in long matches. The IPS bumper protects the frame through frequent use, and the oversized head broadens the effective hitting area for youngsters refining technique and accuracy.
Young players get a powerful, controllable racket that encourages aggression at the net and consistent depth from the back, with vibration control and a forgiving sweet spot that reduce arm strain and mis-hits.
