Technology

ISOMETRIC™
Square-shaped head design increases the sweet spot for improved accuracy on off-centre shots, delivering greater control without sacrificing power.

2G-Namd™ FLEX FORCE
Advanced carbon composite improves graphite flex and snapback, enhancing spin generation and energy transfer throughout ball contact.

Aero Trench
Reduces drag by hiding grommets at the top of the frame to achieve faster head speeds for increased spin potential.

LINER TECH
Newly engineered straight hole grommets allow increased string movement on off-centered shots for maximum spin generation.

SERVO FILTER
Exclusive material integrated into the frame enhances stability and vibration damping during play.

VDM (Vibration Dampening Mesh)
Internal mesh technology reduces unwanted vibration on impact for improved feel and continuous comfort.
