THE NEW HEAD SQUASH SERIES 2013
CONQUER THE COURT.
SHIFTING THE BALANCE OF POWER.
Graphene™ is integrated into the racquet shaft, making it more stable and allowing an optimized redistribution of weight.
Weight has been shifted to the tip and grip, providing better maneuverability and increased swingweight.
PLAY YOUR BEST GAME EVER WITH GRAPHENE™ HEAD’s new core technology introduces the world’s strongest and lightest material: Graphene TM. Discovered in 2004, GrapheneTM consists of a single two-dimensional layer of carbon atoms. This material has a breaking strength 200 times greater than steel, which makes it the ultimate substance for creating new HEAD squash racquet frames with exceptional properties. GrapheneTM technology allows for the first time an optimal redistribution of weight in HEAD racquets. Through the use of Graphene™ in the shaft, the

weight in the middle part of the squash racquet can be reduced. Instead, weight can be shifted from the racquet shaft to more functionally relevant areas in the tip and grip. This unique construction provides players with an unmatched maneuverability and an increased swingweight. In other words, a racquet with GrapheneTM is easier to swing and enables even more powerful shots. And it will give opponents a really hard time.
Graphene TM allows for the first time an optimal redistribution of weight to the tip and grip.
FEATURES: • GrapheneTM is the world‘s strongest and lightest material • In the construction of HEAD racquets, it enables a redistribution of weight from the racquet shaft to the tip and grip. • With this optimized redistribution of weight in the racquet, players generate more kinetic energy when they hit the ball. With less effort, more power is generated. 3

HEAD CXG™ COMFORT GRID The core of HEAD CXG™ is an interlocking coil structure of turned polyethylene, polypropylene and nylon, and saran fibres encapsulated in a resilient polyurethane foam. The encapsulated coil fiber are compressed on impact, absorbing shock. As the foot reaches the end of its stride, the coil fibres rebound, producing a resilient, spring-like upward force.
HEAD ENERGY BRIDGE™ Strategically placed between the heel and forefoot area, the HEAD Energy Bridge™ provides torsion stability and increased transfer of power from the heel to the forefoot.

HEAD VI-POD™ TECHNOLOGY Integrated in the midsole heel area, the HEAD Vi-Pod™ technology absorbs the energy of impact and distributes it to the entire foot, eliminating vibration and maximizing forward motion.
HEAD LATERAL CONTROL™

Integrated in the outer forefoot area, HEAD Lateral Control™ is a squared edge of harder rubber that provides optimum lateral stability and enables quick changes in direction. Additionally, the medial forefoot area is rounded specifically to enable extreme slides.
An innovative, dynamic “climate control” system within the shoe that maintains ultimate breathability by absorbing and releasing excess heat build-up.
