Description
· Material: 100% High Modulus Graphite · Weight : 10.3 ounces ( fully double strung with new guts -No BB on strings ) · Head size: 107 Square inches · Pre-strung string tension: 53 - 54 lbs · Pre-strung String spec: Synthetic Gut - 16 gauge A More Confident Approach Let's face it, tennis has never been the easiest of games to learn and master. The Blackburne gives players the confidence to take their game to a new edge! Here are some of the Blackburne Double Strung's playing advantages: 1. Ground Strokes can be hit with heavy top spin or under-spin without ever catching the racquet's trailing edge, a frequent occurrence that troubles even the most advanced players. Thus, the BB DS technology can save points that can mean the crucial difference between victory and defeat. 2. Return of Service In particular, hard serves that regularly hit the receiver's frame or near the racquet's edge are likely to be returned even if the frame is grazed. 3. Hitting a Serve A serve can now be hit with greater slice and topspin. 4. Volleys are struck a split second earlier and with more accuracy. 5. Half-volleys A shot that regularly finds the frame, is more easily hit for non-advanced players and will be a cleaner stroke for the more advanced players. 6. The Topspin Lob A challenging shot for all but the best tennis players, becomes a much easier shot for players at all levels because the trailing edge is no longer a concern. Sufficient topspin and accuracy can be generated to allow for a lob winner and a great new weapon. 7. The Inner Game benefits because -not unlike the revolution that was created in the game of golf with its respective new product innovation- the game becomes more fun for players while the BB DS encourages them to take greater chances and make more interesting shots. The racquet allows players of all levels to access a broader array of shots. It makes the game easier and more fun for beginners and intermediate players while allowing advanced players to increase their confidence through greater consistency. The BB DS gives every player the mental power and inherent psychological advantage of using a sharper and better weapon! Technical Specifications of the Blackburne Double Strung RacquetTM Methodology for Power Rating
All racquets were measured by the USRSA on the Babolat RDC. The power ratings were calculated by the following formula: (Length X Head size X Flex)/10. Length is determined by considering 27? = 1, 28? = 1.1, 28.5? = 1.15, 29? = 1.2, 26? = .9, etc. This is essentially the same formula that Prince uses for its power ratings. However, although the formula is the same, the USRSA performed the measurements under very different conditions and thus elicited different results. Prince uses an RA test and performs all measurements on unstrung, ungripped (raw) frames and rounds results to the nearest 100 to create a range. The USRSA tested gripped, strung racquets on the RDC and didn?t round. So, don?t confuse the ratings - they?re not the same. Same formula, different conditions, different results. Most importantly, every racquet in the chart was measured the same way to produce consistent, comparative numbers.
"The Blackburne Double Strung racquet has gone through many stages of evolution, with prototypes produced over the years in wood, aluminum, steel, fiberglass, Kevlar and ultimately graphite...We were lucky to have had two former NASA physicists on our research team and they brought with them not only knowledge of sophisticated materials used in the Space program but also the technology to enable the Blackburne Racquet to be made." "The construction stabilizes the frame, significantly lessening the oscillations, vibrations, twistings and undulations to which conventional racquets are prone when a hard drive is delivered...The construction achieves this [stabilizing the frame] because it turns the racquet into a sort of BOX while the single strung racquet is more of a SLAB."
