Technology
FORTYFIVE° — A patented carbon layup that arranges graphite fibers at a 45-degree angle to optimize lateral bending through impact, increasing dwell time and pocketing for greater command over the ball.
X-Loop — A beam construction that flips from round to flat at the intersection of the hoop and throat, enhancing feel and providing a more connected response at contact.
DirectConnect — A handle that connects directly to the end cap with no dampening material between them, transmitting pure, unfiltered contact information to the player's hand.
Parallel Drilling — A grommet system that drills holes straight through the frame rather than at an angle, creating a more consistent and responsive string bed across the entire face.
