Technology

ISOMETRIC
Square-shaped frame design increases the sweet spot by 7% compared to conventional round frames, delivering greater control without sacrificing power.

Aero Trench
Reduces drag by hiding grommets at the top of the frame to achieve faster head speeds and increased spin generation.

LINER TECH
Straight hole grommets allow more string movement on off-centered shots for maximum spin potential and enhanced ball control.

VDM (Vibration Dampening Mesh)
Stretchy mesh material wrapped around the graphite in the grip filters unwanted vibrations for continuous comfort.

SERVO FILTER
Transparent, elastic film between graphite layers absorbs vibrations and provides fine-tuned flex and snapback characteristics.
