Frame/Wind Resistance Chart
Dimple Shape
The Dimple-Shape frame weakens the wake and thus lowers the drag by 10%.
Conventional Racquet
Conventional frames create a thicker wake with more drag.

Notices About Stringing
Please take notice when striging: bevel the string tip with a diagonal plier and insert string right straight into the eyelets.

Compared with conventional rackets, SHAPE 01 MG demonstrates a thicker structure at the 3 and 9 o'clock positions, which effectively improves impact upon swing while considerably enhancing drop stability for swings while preventing racket deformation.

Grommet-Free Frame
The grommet-free frame addresses the problem of racket strings tearing easily due to abrasion against the carbon fibers in the frame. The eyelets are processed with fine polishing, allowing the strings to directly contact the frame and produce crisp, clear hit sounds.
※ Traces of pressure may show on the paint around the eyelets after stringing and are normal results of abrasion.

Eyelet diameter of
SHAPE 01 is 2.1mm
Eyelet diameter of
SHAPE 01 MG is 1mm
Better Strength, Lighter Weight
The diameter of the eyelets at the 3, 9 and 12 (top) o’clock positions on the grommet-free frame is 1mm. As it is smaller than the conventional eyelet diameter of frames with grommets, which is 2.1mm, the overall strength of the racket is enhanced by 10%.
This method eliminates the use of additional parts, i.e. the grommets, and as a result the frame weight is lessened by approximately 0.7g. To balance the weight in the racket, the wooden handle must also be made lighter by 0.7g. Therefore, the overall weight is reduced by around 0.7gx2=1.4g.
