[K] Factor is released: Take [K]ontrol

The game and players are factored. A new dimension of [K]ontrol is discovered because Power without [K]ontrol is nothing

[K]ontrol of the game, the ball, the opponent

[K] Factor = More [K]ontrolled Power

EXTERNAL Changes

• Scoring system has changed from 15-point to 21-point

• PAR (Points-a-Rally) introduced

• Game has changed its characteristics and dynamics

• Outcome and Result are more diverse

• Length of match shorter & more predictable

• Training and preparation have changed

• Matches have gotten shorter

EXTERNAL Changes

”When you hold the racket in your hand, you feel the racket or not”

“The right feeling comes with the right sound when hitting the ball.”

“The racket has got to feel like the extension of your arm.”

“You have to be able to feel the shuttle through your racket.”

“Control and precision have to be right.”

“I can’t describe the feel. It just has to fit my playing style.”

“The racket has to submit good feedback.”

Common definition of feel

Our study shows common elements from which we can create the following definition:

Feel is the impact information transferred into the player's hand.

It determines the ability to sense the ball coming off the strings to better control the shot.

This is what connects shuttle, racket, and player's hand together.

Technology…What if the new revolution combines different technologies to

provide the perfect feel for each player type ?

This element exist… it’s a rock…

Design…What if the new revolution sources its inspiration from natural

element to express a natural feel?

Material…What if the new revolution is engineered from a natural element

when added to the matrix turns natural Feel into Golden Touch?

• Basalt is a natural volcanic rock

• Basalt can be used in manufacturing and made into fine and ultra fine gold fibers.

• Basalt fibers are environmentally friendly and superior to other fibers in terms of thermal stability, sound insulation, vibration resistance and durability.

1 MATERIAL

Basalt fibers are woven longitudinally with [K]arophite Black to create the most advanced composite in the industry.

It offers unmatched frequency reduction while retaining carbon fiber performance in terms of lightness, responsiveness, stability and rigidity.

Feel is redefined

= 1 material

• Like noise-cancelling headphones are filtering out unwanted external noise, Basalt added to the matrix filters the unwanted extreme frequencies that reach the hand.

• The racket’s ability to transfer impact information is

substantially improved.

• A smoother signal reaches the hand.• BLX technology delivers a clean feedback and

better sensation for the perfect FEEL !

X VARIABLES

• LINEAR: new and unique frame construction for better stability while overall beam width can be reduced

• CONTROL BASE: innovative hoop engineering for maximum torsional stability

• DUAL CONNECT TOP CAP: multi component construction providing immediate racket feedback

• EXTENDED POWER SHAFT: new shaft engineering for more power and stability
