PLAYER PROFILE

The XPLO is aimed at advanced or competitive players who prioritize power over control. It is not a racket for beginners, as it requires good technique and precise shots to make the most of it. If you're a natural power hitter and love to dominate with powerful smashes and aggressive volleys, this racket is perfect for you.

TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS

  • External composition: XTend - Carbon 12K, an advanced material that provides a hard and resistant surface for explosive shots.
  • Internal composition: MultiEva, a core that combines different densities for optimal power performance.
  • Shape: Hexagonal geometry that improves aerodynamics and shot stability.
  • Weight: Between 365 and 375 grams, ideal for players looking to control weight distribution.

KEY TECHNOLOGIES

  • Air React Channel: Expands the lower side channel of the frame by 50%, providing agility and acceleration to unleash its full power instantly.
  • Geometric Core: Located in the heart of the racket, it amplifies shot power, providing greater stability and reducing torsion and flex movements.
  • Hexature: Hexagonal structure that increases the racket’s stiffness and stability, optimizing energy transfer.
  • Custom Weight: Allows weight adjustment at key points to customize the racket to your playing style.

  • Hesacore: Anti-vibration system that reduces impact on the arm, preventing injuries.

  • Rugoso 3D: Textured surface that allows for more pronounced spin and better control.

MY EXPERIENCE ON COURT

From the back of the court

In defense, the XPLO can be challenging. Its hardness and high balance require short, precise movements to handle the ball effectively. If you don’t have well-developed technique, you may struggle to execute deep shots or comfortably handle lobs. However, in high-speed blocks, it responds exceptionally well.

Attacking game

This racket shines in attack. Flat smashes come off with impressive power, provided you hit the sweet spot. Aggressive volleys also benefit from the hard surface, allowing you to apply speed and pressure on your opponent. However, sliced shots may be harder to control due to the ball's quick release.

Transitions and aerial play

At the net, the racket performs very well in bandejas and viboras, though you may need some time to adapt if you're used to a lower balance. Its high reactivity in flat shots makes it ideal for three- or four-meter smashes. However, it requires good technique and time to adjust your movements and fully exploit its potential.

FINAL CONCLUSION

The XPLO is a racket for players who seek extreme power and an aggressive off
