Hammer Series

• Hyper Hammer 2.3 Stretch
  Looking for ultra maneuverability in a head heavy, oversize (110 and 120 head size) offering? The 8.3oz and 8.7oz. (respectively) Hyper Hammer 2.3 Stretch defines easy swinging. Although promoted as ideal for players with compact/short swing types, the 2.3 absorbs medium/faster swings better than most in its oversize/power class of racquets. The 2.3's 32mm shoulder and 28 inch length give new meaning to leverage and stability. A nice option for 3.0+ level beginner/intermediate players or doubles specialists.
• 2.6 Rollers Overdrive
  If you're a 2.0 to 4.0 level player, looking for the newest technology in a power oriented racquet, the Hyper Hammer 2.6 Rollers may be worth some research. It's narrower than widebodies of yesteryear, while providing similar stiffness and power but with a new feature, called Rollers. These replace conventional grommets at the sides, allowing more cross string movement. The increased string movement provides more power, increased dwell time and a larger sweetspot. Spin artists with shorter swing types will find the open string pattern and 115 head size fit well with the 28-inch length.
• Hyper Hammer 3.3 Stretch
  Ideal for players with a compact stroke style and slower swing speed, the Hyper Hammer 3.3 is available in two headsizes; "The Limits" at 135 " - the largest headsize allowed by the ITF (International Tennis Federation), and the most powerful traditional headsize racquet. A smaller 115" headsize is also available. This ultra maneuverable package also features a fan string pattern for more responsiveness on the upper part of the string bed. Looking for an ultra-maneuverable (under 9oz.), head heavy option with plenty of sweetspot space? The Hammer 3.3 Stretch may be an option to consider.
• 3.6 Rollers 115
  A little more flexible (control oriented) and slightly heavier than the 2.6 Rollers, but with a more open string pattern for increased spin control. Added Roller technology replaces conventional grommets at the sides, increasing string movement for a larger sweetspot. Beginners to lower intermediates will find an exciting new option that will give plenty of pace and spin. Compact, controlled swings will harness the 3.6's power best. A serious game improvement racquet for all-court singles and doubles players alike.
• Hyper Hammer 4.3 Stretch
