This racket has higher-than-average stiffness to deliver power, with the goal being maximal energy restitution by keeping the frame stationary on contact. But the frame's stiffness causes greater vibrations, which can be bad for the arms. Tecnifibre's own solution: X-Damp, a technology created in collaboration with TecniLab to address vibration issues and maximize comfort.
How does it operate? To make a steel part move against the force of each ball hit, it is inserted into an elastomer pocket in the shaft. T For increased strength and stability, the frame's design has been enhanced with a rounder screen and reinforced areas.
