New Technology for an Enhanced Playing Experience
- NF2 Tech 2.0: The latest update integrates flax fibers into the racket's shaft, providing superior dampening. This material effectively reduces vibrations and offers a softer feel at impact. Thanks to this advanced dampening system, many players find they no longer need to use external vibration dampeners.
- FSI Power: Powered by technologies under the FSI Power concept, the ball impact is optimized to deliver maximum speed. The frame and strings are engineered to extend the dwell time between the ball and the racket, increasing energy transfer to the ball and generating extra power.
- Elliptic Frame: The racket’s classic elliptical frame structure is preserved, continuing to deliver stability and high energy return upon impact. For generations, this design has proven highly effective at generating extreme speed.
- HTR System: The reinforced construction of the Pure Drive increases the racket's torsional rigidity and stability, providing the player with power even on off-center hits.
Maximum Power for Every Player
