Babolat Woofer Technology
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 optimizing 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.
- The strings are interactive
PISTON FUNCTION
- Increase the trampoline effect: the piston function enables greater surface deformation on impact.
- Shock absorption: the pistons act like a suspension system to damp vibrations
