First introduced in 1969 with the T-7000 - our first aluminum tennis racquet - the Oval Pressed Shaft (OPS) is still incorporated into our most popular racquet series today.
The Oval Pressed Shaft is designed to give players more spin, control, and feel. The shaft flexes at impact, increasing dwell time and minimizing vibrations.

 

 

Vibration Dampening Mesh (VDM)

 

First used in our snowboards to reduce vibrations at impact, Vibration Dampening Mesh (VDM) is now used in four of our racquet series. VDM is a stretchy mesh material that is wrapped around the graphite within the grip to filter unwanted vibrations and improve touch and precision.

 

 

 

 

 

2G-Namd Speed

IMPROVED FEEL AND BALL SPEED

 

A high modulus graphite fibers are bound with a carbon nanotube (CNT) structure, reducing energy loss, which enables to transfer the energy into quick snapback.

Namd is technology developed by Nitta Co., Ltd. to uniformly disperse carbon nanotubes in carbon fiber composites.

 

 

AERO SHAPE DESIGN

FOR A PLUSH FEEL

 

An inverted frame design with a thinner frame face results in a softer racquet.

 

 

SHAFT DESIGN

FOR IMPROVED S TABILITY AND POWER

 

A thicker shaft structure with a convex design reduces unwanted racquet torque on off-centered shots for added power.
