Model: Speed Motion 2025
Collection: Speed
Year: 2025
Shape: TeardropWidest a little above the middle, narrowing towards the throat. The sweet spot sits slightly higher than on a round racket. The middle ground: more reach and punch than round, more forgiveness than diamond. It suits players who attack and defend.
Weight: 355 gA mid-range weight that most adult players handle comfortably, balancing stability and speed.
Balance: High (head-heavy) · 270 mmWhere the weight is concentrated. Hits harder on smashes and volleys, but feels slower to swing and is more demanding on the shoulder and elbow. Higher balance generally favours power, lower balance usually improves maneuverability.
Thickness: 38 mmA full 38 mm profile (the regulation maximum) gives more stability and power.
Frame material: Graphene-reinforced (Graphene Inside)
Face material: Hybrid woven (carbon + fiberglass)
Core: Power FoamPrecise and powerful at higher swing speeds, while still giving some help on slower balls.
Surface: SmoothClean, predictable contact on flat shots. Less grip on the ball for heavy spin.
Hardness: Medium-hardLeans firm.
Sweet spot: Slightly above the middleDerived from the shape class. The 3D zone is an illustration, not a measurement.
Grip & handle: Standard handle with overgrip
