The Volkl Power Bridge 3 is an update to the DNX 3 and maintains the use of Volkl's Catapult Effect, DNX material at 3:00, 9:00 and above the grip, with the addition of a stability enhancing Power Bridge in the throat area. DNX material placed in key regions, combined with a stiffer frame construction in the shaft area produces maximum power in control-oriented 110 sq. in. headsize.
The unique characteristics of DNX: 25-times stronger than regular carbon graphite fibers. This adds superior strength to the Power Bridge 3 and automatically enhances the power and precision of every shot.
One of the most important factors that determine the power of a tennis racket is the stability and stiffness of the frame. Because the more stable the frame is, the more kinetic energy can be returned to the ball. Using the next generation of DNX technology, Powerbridge is an innovative construction which considerably increases the stability of the critical throat/yoke area of the frame. This makes the entire racket more powerful and dynamic. This effect is achieved on the one hand by integrating the high-strength DNX material and on the other hand by increasing the specific material density in the yoke.
DNX technology is a unique new material developed by Volkl in cooperation with the Fraunhofer TEG Institute in Germany, that is 25 times stronger than any other mass-produced carbon fiber. DNX is located in three strategic points in the racquet to improve playability. DNX at 3 and 9 o'clock increases torsional stability, allowing for greater control, even off-center hits. DNX is also placed in a cap above the grip to add strength and power to the frame.
