We all want to score points... We're all STRIKERS! By analyzing the game, we have identified different player profiles. One of these is the air striker, who is super dynamic, seizes every opportunity to get to the net and uses speed to generate power. To express the best of their game, we developed the Air Vertuo for maneuverability and extreme comfort. We wanted to offer greater stability at impact with its new shape, which has a larger surface on the face of the racquet for firmer shots while maintaining lightness, which is one of the Air Vertuo's main features. This softer and lighter version of this new generation of racquets will inspire you to be an AIR STRIKER and to attack by popping up everywhere on the court.
