Varlion Bourne Carbon padel racket

Technical Information:

- Varlion padel racket used by professionals who like softer rackets, with a teardrop shape that provides a good balance between control and power.

- It is the successor to the legendary Lw Carbon 3 and Lw Carbon 5, but with improvements in materials, design and features. One of the most notable improvements is the Hexaforce bridge that includes the heart to increase its rigidity in the frame and reduce vibrations.

- It is designed with Hexagonal frame and manufactured using a bidirectional carbon tubular. The core is Eva Hypersoft 38mm medium hardness and is laminated using layers of 7 Rhombus carbon and fiberglass fabric.

- The heart area is reinforced with Varlion exclusive Var-Flex epoxy resin impregnated carbon fiber fabric for maximum elasticity and strength, and coated with a layer of titanium dioxide.

- Includes an adhesive Hexagon bumper, which is designed and produced through a low hardness PTU injection mold to absorb shocks and chafing. This protector is fixed on the frame of the racket by means of an adhesive tape without the need to drill the frame, which also helps to avoid vibrations. In its latest version we have reduced its weight by 50%, now weighing only 11 grams.

- In turn, we apply Slice technology (new rough texture) in the hitting surface through the direct 3D screen printing system, to help the player to apply effects on the ball more effectively.

- Bourne, Hexagon frame and Adhesive Bumper, are brands and utility models registered in the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office, and therefore exclusively owned and used by Varlion.

Technology:

Hexagon Frame:
- Hexagonal frame whose shape provides greater rigidity and resistance to the racket, thanks to the creation of a rib in the frame, which has a straight part (edge) and a chamfered part (chamfer).

Slice Technology:
- New rough texture for the racket surface. As its name suggests, it is specially designed for backhand or drive shots with slice or cuts.

- In its design, a series of curved lines have been arranged for right-handed players, which are duplicated in the opposite direction for left-handed players, so that the lines hook the ball and increase its effect.

- When compared to a tennis racket, the hook is even greater, since the strings of the racket are straight and horizontal in the shape of a cross generating a square. But in tue case of Slice technology, lines are designed with a curved shape, since the surface of the ball that is in contact with such lines is much larger.

Hexaforce:
- Reinforcement or bridge designed and built to reinforce the heart and stiffness of the racket frame.

7 Rhombus Carbon Fabric:
- 12K carbon fiber fabric in a rhomboid shape, to a greater flexibility in the core.

Hexagon Bumper:
- New adhesive bumper designed exclusively for models with Hexagon frame. In its previous version, this it weighed 21gr. However, thanks to the new design it has been possible to reduce its weight by half, and now it only weights 10gr.

- It has been designed and produced through an injection mold in a low hardness PTU to absorb shocks and chafing.

- It is fixed on the racket frame by means of an adhesive material without the need to drill into the frame and thus avoiding having to weaken it for its fixing. Consequently, possible vibrations of the bumper are eliminated and we achieve a total twinning between the racket frame and the lower surface of the bumper.

Adapted & Gradual Holes:
- Gradual drilling technology adapted to the racket shape. It consists of using 3 different hole sizes, making them smaller in the central area (10 mm in diameter), medium in the middle area until we get close to the frame (11.5 mm) and large in the perimeter area or closest to the frame (13 mm). With this perforation we are able to compensate the excessive flexibility of the center of the racket with the low flexibility of the area of the core that joins the frame, thus allowing greater homogeneity to blows and increasing the resistance of the core.

- This drilling technology has also been used with 2 diameters instead of 3 (13mm in the perimeter area and 11.5mm in the central area) in ranges of rackets not used by professional players as they turn out to be softer due to the fact that the drill in the central area it is 11.5mm instead of 10mm.

Hypersoft:
- Soft foam core with spectacular measures of hardness and rebound, which gives a very balanced control and power to the racket, to play at low temperatures or up to 25ºC.
