Modern tennis players tend to play spinning balls, so they use the top of the racket instead of the center Shot. The disadvantage of rotating the ball is that the player needs to wield the racket with greater arm strength, thus stimulating the force to make the tennis spin. This will put an extra burden on the player's arm and may cause an arm injury.
The Dunlop (DUNLOP) Research and development team observed this trend and adopted a new and innovative approach to solving the problem by using Basf's infinergy® to manufacture Sonic Core.
Sonic Core uses the Industry's unique intuitive design and technical principles to provide tennis players with powerful cushioning, high resilience, speed and light weight performance. Infinergy® is the first in the world to set standard E-TPU materials for cushioning, resilience and Performance. Sonic Core is located at the Two-point and 10-point areas of the racquet and is manufactured Sonic core with infinergy® for high performance and Comfort. The material test of Dunlop (Dunlop) showed that the rebound height increased by 46% compared to the sonic core material originally used by dunlop, and the ball speed of the racquet was increased by 2%.
In addition to superior resilience, the infinergy® material has impressive damping properties and can reduce vibrations by 37% compared to standard carbon fiber rackets. Dunlop (Dunlop) 's Next-generation CX Racquet series will use Sonic Core Technology. The new tennis racket series, combined with infinergy® materials, offers unique technological innovation and Advantages.
This revolutionary material is also used in the Power Flex technology of Dunlop's Padel bats racquet. Kiyoshi ikawa, Director of Product planning and promotion at Sumitomo Rubber group, dunlop, said: ' The CX series is our flagship product launched in 2019 and designed for the needs of our Players. We are committed to providing the highest quality products, the CX series with the latest technology, suitable for all ages and levels of players, when hitting the ball to provide them with more power, control and rotation performance, and more comfortable experience, help players develop their ability to inspire their love and passion for Tennis.
' Jens dierssen, head of global business management at BASF Infinergy, Said: ' infinergy® not only applies to footwear design, but also to the design of sports equipment such as the Dunlop (DUNLOP) Tennis racket, which enhances the Player's advantage on the Pitch. In partnering with Dunlop to design the new CX racquet, our goal is to achieve maximum durability, cushioning and speed in performance, setting a new benchmark for the Industry.
