Racquet Technology

• FORTYFIVE: Patent-protected frame layup produces a more connected-to-the-ball feel while better complementing the more modern. vertical swing path. The material increases both flexibility and stability without compromise through the swing.
• Braided Graphite + Basalt: Elastic and reactive material combination improves the flex of a racket to increase ball contact with the strings for enhanced feel and greater control.
• Tapered grip lends a better feel for top-handed grip placement on the two-handed backhand.
• DirectConnect: The carbon fiber handle extends to connect directly with the end cap for improved feel and enhanced torsional stability.
• StableFeel technology provides an enhanced. firmer feel that increases stability and creates a more connected-to-the-ball feel. Designed with avid players in mind. this “sharper Blade” is ideal for those seeking to improve their game.
