The tennis specialists Babolat, together with Michelin, the specialists in ground contact, shared their know-how to design these clay soles, providing both optimized grip and slip.
When sliding before hitting the ball, players gain hold and control on the outside of the foot.
The fine chevrons in this area help to optimize and control the slide.
When starting and accelerating, players gain hold on the inside and on the front of the foot: wide chevrons in this area optimize the grip, so that players don’t slip.
