HEAD ADAPTIVE RACQUETS ALLOW CONSUMERS TO CHANGE THEIR GAME . ANYTIME .
Sometimes a little tuning is all it takes to turn an already great racquet into the perfect racquet . HEAD presents the new SPEED and INSTINCT ADAPTIVE racquets that allow players to personalize the racquets ’ specifications to create a mix of benefits that matches their individual playing level and style . The launch of the new racquets is supported by an online configurator that supports users to develop the full potential of their racquets with interactive tools and easy-to-follow manuals for the perfect result .
The new SPEED and INSTINCT ADAPTIVE racquets come with a pre-installed light 16 / 19 string pattern and standard length but its true potential lies in the separate ADAPTIVE TUNING KIT . It provides three additional grommet sets ( consisting of a heavier 16 / 19 pattern as well as a light and heavy 16 / 16 pattern for more spin ), three spacer rings for additional length , and an additional end cap to increase the weight in the handle and make the racquet more evenly balanced if needed . This allows consumers to personalize their racquet ’ s specifications including weight , balance and length as well as the string pattern to create the perfect individual mix of the benefits power , spin , control and maneuverability .
The amazing potential of the Adaptive system also comes to life online : A new configuration app allows users to literally pull the parts of the virtual Adaptive Tuning Kit onto their racquet on the screen and immediately see how its specifications change . At the same time , the configurator visualizes the immediate impact these changes have on the benefits power , control , spin , and maneuverability and provides users with easy-to-follow manuals on how to make the changes to their racquets in real life to achieve the best result .
The SPEED and INSTINCT ADAPTIVE racquets are available as of January 19 , 2017 at selected retailers and online . www . head . com
