Babolat
NCT Tour |
The
NCT Tour is Babolat's newest Nano Carbon Technology (NCT)
frame. This 'tweener offers excellent power, spin potential
with a lighter weight, just over 10.25 ounces. Babolat places
a nanotube from the 3 - 9 o'clock position to the top of the
handle. This single walled nanotube increases the stiffness
and saves weight, which is precisely what Baolat was attempting
to accomplish.
The
NCT is best suited for players looking for a lighter, standard
length mid-plus racquet that offers abundant power coupled
with superior maneuverability. This racquet is also very well
suited for smaller framed players, juniors transitioning into
a adult frame or for players looking to customize their frames
to their ideal weight and balance.
The
Tour is well suited for players with faster longer strokes
and rewards them with solid performance, very good spin potential
thanks to the 16 x 18 string pattern and low swingweight (301).
The racquet is very solid at the net with good power to keep
the volleys deep.
We
also found the racquet pretty arm friendly for such a stiff
frame (70 RDC).

Woofer Grommet System: According
to Babolat the Woofer System is the first dynamic system which
makes the frame and the strings interact when the ball strikes
the strings. Prior to the Woofer System a tennis racquet is
a frame with strings. The Woofer System is designed to optimize
the frame and string interaction by permitting all the strings
to work together to their full potential when contact the
ball. There are two function component to the Woofer System
the Pulley Function and the Piston Function.
The
Pulley Function eliminates string
lock-up: the strings are free to move. The whole surface reacts
on impact, more strings work together when the ball strikes
the strings. This increases the sweetspot and absorbs much
of the shock produced during ball impact.
The
Piston Function increases the trampoline
effect. The piston function enables greater surface deformation
on impact, delivering extra power and ensuring the strings
retain their energy for a longer time. The piston function
also acts like a suspension system to dampen vibration. |
| Nano
Carbon Technology (NCT): NCT racquets integrate
state-of-the-art material (Carbon Nonotubes™) with a unique
beam design. Nano tubes are designed to enhance performance
while increasing rigidity and reduccing overall weight, more
power. Nanotechnology is the study and working with materials
on the scale of the atom: the technology of molecular engineering.
Carbo Nonotubes™ are 10 times more rigid than graphite
making it an ideal material for inclusion in racquet fabrication.
extremely resistant and highly reactive, it provides increase
power, without sacrificing weight nor playing sensation. |
