Babolat Technology

Woofer

Patented innovation by Babolat. Woofer is the first dynamic system which makes the frame and the strings interact when striking the ball.
	A tennis racquet is a frame with strings The frame is basically static and holds the driving force of the racquet - the strings - in place.  Today the way the strings are attached to the frame limits the performance of this driving force. The strings are attached to both sides of the frame.  Only some strings are active when struck by the ball.  This means that racquets do not deliver their full potential.  Babolat set out to imagine a racquet optimising the frame and the strings - to invent a frame which permits all the strings to work together to their full potential when striking the ball.
Pulley Function The Woofer eliminates string lock-up : the strings are free to move. The whole surface area reacts on impact with the Woofer, more strings work together when striking the ball.   This gives you a greater sweet spot and better control.
Piston Function Increase the trampoline effect.  This gives you more power and increases string life. Shock absorption: the pistons act like a suspension system to damp vibrations and make the racquet more comfortable to play with

Cortex

Interface Between the Handle and the Frame These two parts of the racquet are actively linked by the Cortex Damping system which filters and dampens the vibrations interfering with feel, to enhance the feel of the ball

Smart Grip

The Babolat Smart Grip is contured to fit the shape of your hand.    Your
entire hand in in contact with the racquet for more comfortable play and
more control with less effort.  Available on the AreoBlast
