Head YouTek IG tennis racquets are fully equipped with YouTek’s superior technologies to perfectly match your individual needs. Whether your game is aggressive and adventurous or consistent and smooth, YouTek™ enhances your performance and brings out the best in you.
d3o Technology: The frame-inlay d3o is a smart material. The specially designed molecules in d3o™ react on different impacts within nano seconds. They stay soft during slow hits and lock together on hard strokes. With this behavior, d3o™ is able to sense the needs of your play and adapts to you. It provides maximum power as well as softer touch for a better feel.
Innegra Technology: Innegra is the world's lightest high performance fiber in the industry today. HEAD's advanced carbon composite technology combined with Innegra™ forms an extremely tough fiber. The new high composite structure is integrated into the racquet for shock absorption and improved stability. Vibration at ball impact is reduced by up to 17% for unmatched control and precision and is easier on your arm. HEAD's new hybrid-composite structure considerably extends the performance of your HEAD racquet at the highest level, giving you consistent performance over the entire life of your frame.
