HEAD Technologies
HEAD squash equipment supports you to perform on the highest level. Our contribution to your best performance are high technology systems like Flexpoint and Liquidmetal. Read more about it below! 1.Metallix™ Made of a specially designed matrix of carbon fibers and a new crystalline metal alloy. This alloy’s grain-size is 1000 times smaller than that of a typical metal*. Made of a specially designed matrix of carbon fibers and a new crystalline metal alloy. This alloy’s grain-size is 1000 times smaller than that of a typical metal*. The decreased grain size means increased performance, or, as the Hall-Petch Effect states: smaller grains = stronger material. The result is a lighter, stronger and more powerful racquet than ever before. HEAD Stabilizer The new HEAD Stabilizer eliminates racquet vibration and ensures the ultimate in comfort on every shot. HEAD LMS By lowering the bridge section in a unique new throat design, HEAD’s LMS (Longer Main String) design creates a larger hitting surface without making the racquet any bigger. The player benefits from the larger sweet spot and better maneuverability.

2.Flexpoint Power in Control. Squash racquets have traditionally bent in the same way on ball impact. Now with HEAD's new Flexpoint™ technology, everything has changed. Flexpoint™ technology Powered by Liquidmetal, Flexpoint™ technology has broken the rules of conventional racquet design with two precisely engineered control holes built into the racquet frame. HEAD's new Flexpoint™ squash Racquets are the first to bend in a whole new way. Hole + Dimple = Flexpoint™ These two newly designed holes, positioned at 3 and 9 o'clock on the racquet head, work together to bring power in control. The dimple is engineered to create flexibility by reducing beam height by a maximum of 25 %. The hole increases sectional flexibility up to 50 %.

3.LiquidMetal The Liquidmetal material is applied to four strategic areas of the racquet’s head and is the only material that utilizes all the energy your swing generates. Due to its liquid atomic structure, no energy is lost on ball impact. Liquidmetal® makes the difference The secret of Liquidmetal’s performance is its liquid atomic structure. Compared to conventional metals, it offers advantages that are far beyond today’s racquet technology. The unique Liquidmetal atomic structure does not deform on impact, resulting in ultimate energy return. Standard atomic structure deforms on impact, causing extreme energy loss. The benefit to every player: 29 % more power The unique Liquidmetal atomic structure is 2 1/2 times stronger than titanium and delivers 29 % more power. Why? Liquidmetal technology efficiently utilizes the pure energy of ball impact, making the full energy available for maximum power return. Liquidmetal® - Pure Energy. Perfect Power.™ Total Sweetspot Construction (TSC) helps for ultimate performance. Through its innovative corrugated structure, Total Sweetspot Construction increases torsional stability in the racquet head. Total Sweetspot Construction (TSC) extends the sweetspot throughout the entire racquet head resulting in ultimate control. Now every shot feels like you’ve hit the sweetspot. http://www.head.com/squash/technology.php?region=eu&tag=liquidmetal

4.Intelligence X HEAD Intellingence X gives you the ability to focus your power with Xtra precision to place shots exactly as you visualized. HEAD intellifiber™. HEAD’s intellifibers™ transform the mechanical energy from ball impact into an electrical response that stiffens the racquet for ultimate power and maximum comfort. Intellifibers™ are found in the racquet shaft and racquet head, where they deliver ultimate power, maximum comfort and Xt Xtra precision. While the ball is still on the strings, HEAD intellifibers™ in the racquet head create an active resistance to the frame’s bending and increase torsional stability up to 42% for Xtra precision and accuracy. This stiffens the racquet head for unprecedented control and Xt Xtra precision. This torsional stiffness and maximum stability create ultimate precision and accuracy not possible in conventional racquet design.

5.Intelligence Intelligence™ technology is a hot, high-tech application of advanced concepts that intelligently controls the performance of products and systems, operating them at their most efficient level. Apart from HEAD Tennis, these intelligent systems have been up to now used only in military and civilian aircraft construction, in space travel and in automobile construction of world wide leading corporations. HEAD intellifiber™. Extraordinary features create incomparable power and playability. What makes Intelligence™ Technology possible in racquets is HEAD’s breakthrough intellifiber™ – a new fiber created from piezoelectric material. Extraordinarily different from conventional materials, HEAD’s intellifiber™ transforms the mechanical energy from ball impact into an electrical response that stiffens the racquet for ultimate power. Feature HEAD’s intellifiber™ created from piezoelectric materials, has breakthrough new properties which make them extraordinarily unique and different from traditional materials. Energy Transformation Using the mechanical energy of ball impact and converting it – in less than a millisecond – into electrical energy. Controllable Shape Change An electrical impulse actively changes the shape of the intellifibers™ for more stiffness. The Power Benefit In less than the first millisecond of ball impact, HEAD intellifibers™ create an active resistance, they stiffen and reduce bending in the throat area for unmatched power in current racquet design. No matter how strong the material, a traditional racquet will still bend upon ball impact. This bending causes a loss of potential power and control. The Dampening Benefit Unlike mechanical energy, electrical energy does not create vibrations. Therefore, 2O% of the vibrations are immediately eliminated upon ball impact for optimum comfort.

6.Titanium A composite weave of ultra-strong titanium and ultra-light graphite fibers for the maximum weight reduction, optimal stiffness and power. Ti.Mesh Technology Featuring a titanium mesh construction, combined with carbon fibers for increased stiffness. The Titanium Series offers: - lighter weight - excellent maneuverability - maximum power - great playability UltraLight Lightweight construction offers perfect handling and quick maneuverability. Constant Beam The uniform beam optimizes vertical and torsional stiffness, reducing racquet distortion.This offers greater ball acceleration and better control. http://www.head.com/squash/technology.php?region=eu&tag=titanium

the 1st post is tennis racket rite?

hi-tec125- 09-07-2007

i use the tennis racket picture.. but it talk about the squash technology... hehe

squashplanet- 09-07-2007

hahah~ i c~ so mean that tennis also use same technology as squash... ~
