1. POwer riNG®
An inverted “ring” in the throat of the frame creates longer main strings of uniform length for enhanced power across the entire string bed. A grommetless throat increases frame durability and stiffness.
2. POwer riNG® 8By developing a throat area with eight Power Rings, each main string wraps around its own independent Power Ring. This allows maximum string resiliency, ultimate shot control and re-stringing is a breeze!
3. DOuBle POwer riNGAll main strings wrap around two Power Rings in the throat area of the frame maximizing main string length for ultimate power.
4. triPle threat ® techNOlOGyWoven titanium, copper, and carbon material placed in 3 critical locations on the frame at 10, 2, and 6 o’clock creates a larger sweet spot in every direction. As a result, arm shock is reduced and stability is optimized for maximum power on off-center hits.
5. O3 techNOlOGyBy reducing aerodynamic drag, O3 technology racquets swing 24% faster. It’s like having the lightest racquet ever made without compromising frame strength! Large “O” ports also create a livelier string bed and increase sweet spot size by up to 59%, providing revolutionary power.
6. air O“O” ports located at 3 and 9 o’clock improve shock dampening and aerodynamics for faster swing speed. Air O racquets are extremely easy to swing and offer greater effortless power.
7. eXO3 techNOlOGyComposite inserts located in the “O” ports extend the string bed beyond the frame creating a larger sweet spot. Creating maximum power while inserts dampen vibration by dispersing shock before it returns to the frame. The “O” ports reduce aerodynamic drag for lightweight power on court.
8. air cushiON systeM (acs)Soft thermoplastic/rubber compound inserts are positioned into the “O” ports around the frame to dampen frame vibration and provide ultimate comfort on ball impact.
