Brand: Lok
Model: Maxx Hype Gen 2 Yanguas World
Collection: Maxx
Year: 2026
Shape: DiamondWidest high up near the tip, tapering in straight lines to the throat. The sweet spot sits high on the face. Maximum leverage for overheads and smashes. The smaller, higher sweet spot punishes off-centre hits, so it rewards good technique.
Weight: 360–375 gA mid-range weight that most adult players handle comfortably, balancing stability and speed.
Balance: High (head-heavy) · ≈ 272 mm (estimated)Where 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: Carbon
Face material: C18 carbon, 3D Spin Lines texture
Core: Exclusive EVA rubberMaximum precision and power when you hit fast. Slow balls need more effort to push, and more vibration reaches the arm.
Surface: 3D textureThe most bite on the ball, for players who rely on spin and effects.
Hardness: HardA firm, dense core.
Sweet spot: High on the faceDerived from the shape class. The 3D zone is an illustration, not a measurement.
Grip & handle: Standard handle with overgrip
