Auxetic Technology |
|
An auxetic material gets thicker when it is stretched.
For example: normally a string gets thinner when stretched; but if the string is made of an auxetic material
it gets thicker when stretched.
The best example of use is in body armor which is flexible to wear but on impact instantly and dramatically stiffens.
A material can get it's auxetic property at the microscopic level - the atoms in the material slide over one another to
spread out the material when stretched. Or the material can get it's auxetic property in a quite visible manner -
the notches in running shoe soles are designed to let the soles expand as you step on them to provide more cushioning.
The new Head racquets with Auxetic incorporate carbon fiber and fiberglass materials in an Auxetic construction within the yoke.
The yoke provides a lot of the comfort and feel in a modern racquet.
If the yoke is soft and flexible the racquet plays soft but has less control on hard shots.
By using auxetic construction in the yoke there is a comfortable, sublime feel for normal play;
but when you unload a hard shot the yoke stiffens to give great control.
Auxetic dramatically enhances the feel of the racquet creating a smooth crisp response on every shot
REGARDLESS of where on the strings you hit the ball.

Graphene 360 + Spiral Fiber Technology |

|
Graphene 360+ uses Graphene 360 Technology (see below)
to provide crisp, controlled yet softer feel.
It also uses new Spiral Fiber technology which has
twisted fibers at 5 and 7 o'clock in the shoulder area to permit greater
flex and a cleaner impact feeling.
The result is a buttery smooth and controlled feel
which players love.

Graphene 360 Technology |

|
Graphene 360 combines Graphene Touch Technology
(please see below) with additional Graphene
in the shaft and at 3, 12, 9 o'clock around the head.
All who use the new Graphene 360 racquets agree that
this technology is a nice improvement.
The additional Graphene in the shaft provides greater
torsional stability (less subtle frame twist) so you
get more control.
The additional Graphene in the racquet head gives less
frame flex so you get more power.
The Graphene is only at certain critical spots in the
racquet, so the racquet still has the flex for feel of
a players oriented racquet.

Graphene Touch Technology |

|
- Graphene XT, world's strongest and lightest
material. (Please see below.) Stabilizes the
Yoke area of the racquet for a crisp and precise
hit.
- The addition of Kraibon, a specially
developed visco-elastic polymer, gives improved shock
absorption and exceptional touch WITHOUT
compromising the performance of Graphene XT.
- Kraibon is developed by the Kraiburg Company
in Germany. See www.kraibon.com

Graphene XT Technology |

|

Head re-engineered the application of Graphene, the
world's strongest and lightest material, to make
Graphene XT racquets 30% stronger than first
generation Graphene. This provides
an optimized weight distribution for a faster swing
and more power

Graphene Technology |

A single two dimensional matrix of carbon items. 200
times stronger than steel

Worlds strongest and lightest material
- Discovered in 1962 and the basis for the 2010
Nobel Prize in Physics, Graphene is the ultimate
material for construction of tennis racquets.
See
WikiPedia.
- The weight of the shaft, the middle part
of the racquet, can be reduced.
- Weight is shifted to the tip and grip - areas
which are more relevant to play.
- This provides unmatched maneuverability and
increased swing weight.
- In other words, Graphene makes the racquet
easier to swing, easier to move into position, and
enables more powerful shots.
- Opponents will run for cover.

MicroGel Technology |
|
Rock Solid Feel and Touch:
With the lowest density of any material, HEAD MicroGel™
is a revolutionary new silicone-based material. HEAD
has combined MicroGel ™ with stiff and strong carbon
composite fibers to create a racquet with incredible
responsive qualities. On ball impact, MicroGel™
uniformly distributes the impact load around the frame
to provide the most rock-solid feel and superior touch
ever achieved in the game.
What Happens During Ball Impact:
MicroGel™ deforms and compresses, absorbing and
dispersing the impact to the entire frame, then
returns quickly to its original shape.

Titanium Technology |
|
Head is one of the first companies to
integrate lightweight titanium into the racquet frame. The
result has transformed the tennis world with a light weight, stable,
powerful, and comfortable racquet.
The Ti.S6 is the world's best selling racquet ever and is for
beginners and easy swinging intermediates. The Ti.S5 is
excellent for the more solid intermediate player. And the Ti.S2
is amazingly popular for developing players. |
