Racquets
Head Flexpoint 10 - An oversize, power-oriented racquet. Offers a very powerful feel thanks to its 31mm width beam. Also, slightly lighter than the other FlexPoint frames. Best suited for players with shorter, compact strokes looking for power. Recommended for the 1.5-2.5 NTRP level players. Liquidmetal Technology: Liquidmetal material is applied to four strategic areas of the racquet's head and it is the only material that utilizes all the energy your swing generates. No energy is lost on ball impact due to its liquid atomic structure. Hole+Dimple=Flexpoint: These two precisely engineered holes, positioned at 3 and 9 o'clock on the racquet head, work together to bring power in control. The dimple is engineered to create flexibility by reducing beam height by a maximum of 25%. The hole reduces sectional stiffness up to 50%. The hole and dimple allow a player to harness maximum power and control it.

Dunlop M Fil Lady - A lightweight and maneuverable racquet engineered with the female player in mind. The M-FiL Lady features a stiff racquet hoop for power and stability, while the proven ISIS handle system protects the player from racquet shock and vibration. Ideally suited for players with moderate, powerful strokes. Recommended for the 3.0-4.5. ISIS: (Impact Shock Isolation System), in the racquet handle, dampens frame vibration and helps protect the arm from tennis elbow. Includes racquet and matching sling-pack racquet bag. Racquet bag features a single racquet-specific pouch and a main compartment that can be used for an additional racquet or gear and accessories

THE 12 DAYS OF PLATFORM TENNIS BEFORE CHRISTMAS - DAY 11

On the eleventh day of platform tennis Christmas my true love gave to me...

A VIKING PLATFORM TENNIS RACQUET! The best brand and definitely the coolest designs of all the racquets out there. I'd take any of these, but they happen to be in order of preference.

Viking OZ
OZ is the world´s best selling paddle and has been upgraded with Hardcore Technology that provides maximum power. And the look is killer. Features Gamma´s Pro-RX grip.

Viking Pro V1+

One would normally go for this one as their top pick. It was the design that got me with the OZ, though. The PRO V1+ is for top players. Its heavier than most paddles which provide the highest combination of power and control. And it also recently added the VAST system Shock Absorption Ring. Features Gamma's Hi-Tech Gel Grip.

Viking National

The NATIONAL is a new paddle for the hardcore player. With its high density core and extra long handle, the NATIONAL is perfect for the players who desire a little more power in their game. Perfect for two-handed backhand players. Features Gamma's Pro-RX grip.

Viking Ignite +

The IGNITE returns with a sleek new look and the new VAST Shock Absorbing Ring giving it an even bigger edge over the competition. The IGNITE+ has the largest surface area of any paddle on the market, and the largest sweet spot available. Features Gamma's Hi-Tech Gel grip.
