Product Technology

• ISOMETRIC

Developed over 30 years ago, the ISOMETRIC™ design increases the sweet spot by 7%*. Compared to a conventional round frame, a square-shaped ISOMETRIC™ racquet generates a larger sweet spot by optimizing the intersection of the main and cross strings. ISOMETRIC™ technology delivers greater control without sacrificing power.

• Vibration Dampening Mesh (VDM)

For added touch and precision
A stretchy mesh material is wrapped around the graphite within the grip to filter unwanted vibrations.

• Razor Frame

By reducing the upper part of the frame by 13% and the lower part by 15.1%, when compared to conventional thin-frame racquets, air resistance is reduced by 9.3% in the upper portion of the frame and 11.5% in the lower. The Ultra Slim Shaft adds to the aerodynamic properties of the racquet.

• New Aero-Shaped Frame

For a plush, comfortable feel
By varying the outer angle of the aero-shaped frame, the middle and upper hoop are plush, while the lower hoop is stable.

• Shockless Grommets

Shockless Grommets are integrated at the side and bottom of the frame to minimize muscle fatigue and provide a soft feel at impact to protect the wrist, forearm, and elbow by absorbing shock. 

• Oval Pressed Shaft (OPS)

Increased spin and control
Shaft corners are rounded for an ideal flex at impact to increase dwell time for optimal spin and directional control.

• Liner Tech

For improved power and comfort
Straight hole grommets elongate the strings to optimize power and comfort on off-center shots.

• Super Cushion Grip

The cushioning performance of the grip helps minimize vibrations to protect the wrist, forearm, and elbow against shock-induced injuries.

• VDM Vibration Dampening Mesh

VDM, is a stretchy mesh material rolled with the carbon to reduce unwanted vibrations.

• M40X

Power with a more flexible frame
A strong, elastic graphite is added in the throat to improve frame stability and flex.

*TORAYCA® is a next generation carbon fiber developed by Toray Industries, Inc.

• Isometric Expansion

Enhanced Sweet Spot
An updated square-head frame that is wider at the 3 and 9 o’clock positions creates the largest sweet spot in EZONE history.
