Made In: Taiwan

Technology: Rotational generator system

Quick Benefit:

• Continuous powerful attacks

Properties: 

• Weight is distributed throughout the grip end, frame top and the joint for continued powerful attacks
  
• POWER-ASSIST BUMPER adds weight to the frame top, enhancing power transfer to the shuttle while reducing air resistance
  
• The LIGHTWEIGHT END CAP enables an extremely head-heavy weight distribution
  

Result:

Enhanced Rotational Generator System guiding smooth transitions from shot to shot

Technology: 2G Namd Flex Force

Quick Benefit:

• Uncompromised shot power and increased shot information

Properties: 

• Graphite characterized by its quick flex and snapback.
  
• The Carbon Nanotube binding the graphite together reduces energy loss and enhances its resilience.

Result:

• Used in the whole racquet, the rapid flex and snapback allows more shuttle hold to feel the shuttle and transmit maximum power.

*Used in PRO/TOUR models

*Namdis technology developed by Nitta Co., Ltd. to uniformly disperse carbon nanotubes in carbon fibre composites.

Technology: Lightweight End Cap 

Quick Benefit:

• Increased power

Properties:

• A newly designed end cap which is made lighter by removing the weight inside

Result:

• Balance is shifted towards the racquet head, making this model the most head-heavy racquet within the current line-up

Technology: Concentrated Sweet Spot For Power 

Quick Benefit:

• Increased shot power

Properties:

• Concentrating power to the sweet spot by revising the frame shape.

Result: 

• Meeting the demand of heavy smashers with an increased shot power

Technology: Shot Information Connector

Quick Benefit:

• Increased shot information

Properties:

• Weight is concentrated in the racquet head by taking out weight from the shaft and end cap to increase flex
  
• The ANTI-TORSION SHAFT using high rigidity graphite is designed to lower the torque, keeping the racquet face straight
  

Result:

• Provides confidence with increased shot information by extending contact time between the shuttle and the string to transfer information without loss.
