aMplify yourselfPrePare to INcrease Your PossIbIlItIes.
rewarD Your sPoNtaNeItY wIth d3o™.HEAD lay-up with smart material.
d3o™ belongs to the “smart materials” category and is a futuristic mate-
rial with abnormal behavior characteristics. More specifically, d3o™
belongs to a subcategory of “dilatant foams,” which dramatically change
their behavior under dynamic loading or impact. Integrated in the lay-up
and positioned in the shaft area of the racquet, d3o™ offers new possibili-
ties for squash players.
The d3o™ technology is able to sense the needs of the players during dif-
ferent strokes (it’s able to adapt to you). On high-speed impacts (aggres-
sive shots), the smart molecules lock together within nanoseconds and dra-
matically increase the stiffness of the whole racquet frame to provide
maximum power. On slow-speed impacts (slices or drop shots), the d3o™
molecules absorb the impact to provide a softer touch for better feel.
What does this mean to a squash player? Power shots are even harder
and drop shots more precise, rewarding your spontaneity and supporting
your courageous decisions.

reDuce Your frIctIoN to boost Your Power.HEAD grommets with Teflon® friction-reducing polymer.
Friction is a force that holds back the movement of a string when it comes
into contact with a grommet. The new HEAD grommets with Teflon® friction-
reducing polymer create a self-lubricating effect in the base material, allowing
the strings to slide through the grommets with nearly no friction for much
less energy loss and much more power.
HEAD grommets with Teflon® friction-reducing polymer.
The Teflon® friction-reducing polymer provides a low-friction contact surface,
enabling the strings to slide through the grommets with nearly no friction.
Moving without resistance, the strings maintain their energy during ball impact,
providing more power . During the stringing process, the Teflon® friction-reduc-
ing polymer in the grommet system provides even and con sistent tension.
The HEAD grommet system takes away the friction between the grommet and
string, resulting in true tension and a larger sweet spot!
Conventional grommets.
Friction is present between the grommet and the string providing some degree
of resistance during ball impact, resulting in energy loss and less power.
Teflon® is a registered trademark of DuPont® and is used under license by HEAD Sport GmbH.

HEADs Corrugated Technology™ is a revolu-tionary new shaft design that optimizes power, torsion, bending and handling on every stroke.
How does it work?Corrugated rails are incorporated into the shaft of the racquet, creating up to 12%more stiffness than conventional racquet design.
World´s no. 1 squash player Karim Darwish challenges everything with his new HEAD Xenon 135 racquet.
