Racket weight
The weight is measured in grams. Just like balance and length, this weight of 285 g has a direct impact on the racket’s inertia. Lighter than the standard model, the Defyer 100L offers significantly improved handling and swing speed, making it easier to generate spin, whilst retaining the stability needed to deliver good power on impact.
Balance (unstrung racket)
32 cm
Balance: This is the racket balance point, measured in centimetres from the bottom of the shaft. The higher the number (head heavy), the more powerful and stable upon impact the racket will be. However, it will also be harder to manoeuvre. The smaller the number (head light or handle heavy), the easier the racket will be to handle but you'll have less power and stability.
Racket head size
645 cm²
Head size: This is the surface area of the racket head size measured in squared centimetres. It has an impact on the racket's forgiveness and power. The larger the head size, the more powerful and forgiving it is, but the downside is less control. The smaller the head size, the greater the feeling of control, but you sacrifice some power and forgiveness.
Stringing:
16 x 19
String pattern: this is the number of mains (vertical strings) x the number of crosses (horizontal strings). The more strings the pattern has, the more "closed" it is; the fewer it has, the more "open" it is. A more closed string pattern offers a greater feeling of control, but less power and spin. On the other hand, a more open string pattern provides more power and spin, but less control.
Racket size
68.5 cm
Length: This is the length of the racket from the bottom of the grip to the top of the head. It is measured in centimetres. The longer the racket, the more power you'll get, but the flip side is that it will be harder to handle. The shorter the racket, the easier it will be to manoeuvre, but you'll have to give up power.
Cross sections
Cross sections (in mm): 23.75 x 25 x 23 mm.
Air Foil Bumper
Air foil bumper: An aerodynamic design that reduces drag (air resistance) to improve manoeuvrability and increase racket-head speed.
Torq Shaft
Torq shaft: The shaft offers power, stability and manoeuvrability for hitting and creating powerful spin.
