The New Head Racquet Chart...

Balance Point - HEAD is the only one that measures their balance point using mm therefore a 22 inch racquet is 559 mm.   In general, 280 or greater mm is head heavy and 270 or less mm is head light. "Info Only" is defined as  racquets the manufacturer no longer carries.  We get so many questions on how our player's old racquets compare to the new ones that we decided to put these in.   Head Technologies Explained... Power Stabilizers... NEW for 2009-2010 Power Stabilizer - Head patented twin-tube technology has been positioned in the head of the racquet which provides maximum stability of every shot. Corrugated Technology... NEW for 2009-2010 "CT" - Corrugated rails are incorporated into the throat area of the racquet. These corrugated rails increases stiffness up to 12% vs. conventional racquet design which results in explosive power on every shot!   AMP... NEW for 2008-2009 AMP is integrated into the critical throat area where traditionally power is lost during ball impact. Lab testing confirms AMP Technology delivers 20% more stiffness than conventional racquet design, resulting in more energy return. The uniquely designed dual beams work together creating a counter-balance effect for an explosive increase in raw power with every swing. Get ready to supercharge your game with HEAD’s new AMP Technology! Dual Power Construction... NEW for 2008-2009 HEAD's new DPC technology incorporates a tapered beam design that puts more mass in the head and throat areas of the racquet. This increases stability and delivers incredible power on every shot. Durazone / Power Channels... NEW for 2008-2009 HEAD engineers have eliminated 33% of the grommet holes in the head of the racquet by developing innovative shared ports. This results in increased durability and maximum stiffness. In addition, Power Channels have been lowered deeper into the throat of the racquet increasing the length of each main string for more power. MicroGel... NEW for 2007-2008 Micro Gel is a revolutionary silicone-based material that support up to 4,000 times it's own weight; this low density material is injected between the graphite layers throughout the entire frame. Upon ball impact the Head MicroGel compresses, absorbing and dispersing the impact to the entire frame, then returns quickly to its original shape. This creates incredible performance with Rock Solid Power. Metallix... NEW for 2006-2007 metallix molecular grain So what is MX? It stands for Metallix which is a specially developed Matrix of carbon fibers and a new crystalline metal alloy. This alloy's grain size is 1000 times smaller than those of a typical metal, and by decreasing grain size, you increase performance. Overall, Metallix allows for a stronger, stiffer, and more powerful construction. FlexPoint... NEW for 2006-2007 The other new technology which came out in Tennis first and was brought over to Racquetball is Flexpoint. Two precisely engineered control holes strategically positioned in the center of the racquets sweet spot, are coupled with innovative dimples that work together to create a powerful flexpoint that is activated everytime you hit the ball. What this basically means is you get INCREASED POWER with INCREASED CONTROL! Liquid Metal...    Head took the megablast technology to a whole new level with their new Liquid Metal Megablast's.  These are available in 170, 180, and 190 weights.  These are the hardest hitting racquetball racquets in Head's long history.  This technology was such a success in Tennis that they moved it right on over to Racquetball where it's continuing to boom.  What does it do to your game you ask?  Well, the secret of Liquid Metal performance is its liquid atomic structure.  Compared to conventional metals, it offers advantages that are far beyond today's racquet technology.  The Liquid metal atomic structure does not deform on impact, resulting in ultimate energy return.  Standard atomic structure deforms on impact causing extreme energy loss.  What's all this mean...29% MORE POWER!!  Liquid Metal atomic structure is 2 1/2 times stronger than titanium and delivers 29% more power.  Liquid Metal technology utilizes the pure energy of ball impact making the full energy available for maximum power return. Total Sweetspot Construction (TSC)... Through its innovative corrugated structure, Total Sweetspot Construction increases torsional stability in the racquet head.  TSC extends the sweetspot throughout the entire racquet head resulting in ultimate control.  Now every shot feels like you've hit the sweetspot.               The megablast technology served to be a success for Head last year as we named it Racquetworld's 2003-2004 racquet of the year.  IT HIT'S HARD!  Head decided to move into the power racquet market this year with the world's first string-bed energy return system.  A specially formulated super thermo-polymer material called HEAD ENERGY is placed under the bumper guard and grommet area effectively suspending the entire string bed.  Upon ball impact and deflection of the string bed, the HEAD ENERGY material explodes back to its original shape creating an incredible "trampoline effect" for unprecedented ball acceleration.                     Head's new power technology breakthrough creates more stiffness in the throat area of the racquet for unbelievable power on every shot.  Molded tubes pass inside the throat, completely eliminating lower exterior string holes for maximum stiffness.  The result is an incredible increase in raw power.  In addition, each Power Channel tube is wrapped in a special vibration dampening material.  Since each of the 16 main strings pass through one of these tubes, a built in vibration dampening system is created for the ultimate in comfort for all levels of play.                    Intelligence X...       Intelligence X was Head's new technology for the 2002-2003 season which basically means that the Intellifibers in the racquets throat area stiffen on ball impact.  This active resistance stiffens the racquet reducing longitudinal bending.  All the new Megablast racquets are "Powered by Intelligence X."                          PowerFrame...           HEAD's new cross-section for increased torsional stiffness.  It's an innovative cross-section design featuring dual rounded bubbles in the throat and shaft area of the racquet, reducing weight by 6% and increasing torsional rigidity by 27%.  The benefit of this innovation is that because of its light weight and stiffness, HEAD's PowerFrame increases torsional stability for less torque and twist providing optimum control and reduces weight for maximum maneuverability.           Intellifiber...         What makes Intelligence Technology possible in racquets is HEAD's breakthrough intellifiber which is a new fiber created from piezoelectric material.  HEAD's intellifiber transforms the mechanical energy from ball impact into an electrical response that stiffens the racquet for ultimate power.         ComforTac...         Innovative triple layer design, unique anti traction surface, large perforations and super absorbent, soft cushioned base.  Designed in racquetball length and thickness, non-slip for better grip, better air flow for moisture reduction, extremely comfortable.          PowerZonePLUS...                           New Patented power and vibration dampening system located in the bumper and grommet system.  Dual Density combination of a hard outer surface with soft elastomer material reduces string vibration up to 25%.  The cone-shaped grommets enlarge the sweetspot and allow more freedom of string movement, resulting in added string resiliency for an extra power boost of 20%.         Titanium Racquetball...                       Ultra-strong titanium is woven with ultra-light high modulus graphite to create the ultimate composite.  The results is a stronger, stiffer and lighter weight construction which creates ultimate power.      Power Zone System... Innovative new string pattern with "double-hole" grommets creates longer main strings while keeping the sweetspot up high where you need it.  Unique oversized coneshaped grommets allow maximum string elasticity, providing a "trampoline effect" for increased power with every hit. Softac Traction...                                  Head's Softac Traction offers a premier synthetic grip with a naturally tacky feel and innovative textured surface pattern for the best grip in the game.      ShockStop...                                         A revolutionary vibration dampening technology built into the bottom of the handle reduces vibration 90% faster for the ultimate in comfortable play. ANTi.Torsion System... Head has engineered a special AnTi.Torsion system into our most powerful new racquets.  this revolutionary system, made from Head's exclusive titanium/graphite composite, stiffens the entire throat area and fuses more rigidity into the frame - all without reducing the length of the main strings or the size of the string bed.  The result is less torque on off-center shots for unprecedented power.      Xtralong... All Head racquets are designed with maximum added length for ultimate power and reach.      Ultra Light Weight... Increased racquet-head speed promotes lightening-quick maneuverability and more power.  An additional benefit time for even the quickest on-court action.
