However, we are aware that some racquets are so stiff that they can cause discomfort in the arm, affecting the playing experience. To address this need, our R&D team has developed an innovative solution: VIBRABSORB SYSTEM² Technology, Powered by SMAC.
This advanced technology optimizes vibration absorption thanks to a specific combination of elastomers strategically integrated into the carbon fibers, in the core and the handle of the racquet. This design significantly reduces the vibrations generated with each shot, for greater comfort and helps to minimize the risk of injury, so you can enjoy the game with complete confidence and comfort.
